It was reported last week that WWE may have put the WWE Championship Title on AJ Styles because the lack of interest in the upcoming Survivor Series event and/or the poor rating for the Halloween edition of SmackDown.

Edge mentioned on Podcast of Awesomeness that it may have actually had to do with the USA Network debuting a new television show directly after SmackDown Live this week. Edge would then reveal that it wouldn’t be the first time WWE has helped out the USA Network, as they have done so in the past with the debut of Shooter.

“I think there’s probably a few factors that go in. I think USA was debuting a new TV series after, and while some of you may scoff and say WWE wouldn’t change their business for that, yes they would. Shooter was debuting, and they stacked the 900th episode of SmackDown. That’s why I was there, that’s why Taker was there. They’ll do those things because they’re on the USA Network, and USA asked for a favor, so they’ll do them a favor.”

On the recent episode of E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness, WWE Hall Of Famer Edge talked about the feud between WWE SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon and WWE Superstar Kevin Owens, and the WWE Chairman taking a headbutt from Kevin. Edge also talked about Vince McMahon supporting him during his first championship tenure.

Edge says the headbutt angle was surprising to him and that Vince has faith in Kevin Owens. Edge says that heis interested in what Vince said to Kevin before taking the headbutt, because Vince said some motivational words to him before he was going to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase.

“Hell of a headbutt. I didn’t see that one coming. Yeah, yep. So here’s the thing: they built it throughout the show, which was great. And it seems like they’re pulling the trigger on Owens. Like, properly now. Not that he… I mean, he held almost every title in the company already, he basically been champion the entire time he been there, but I mean, this, this is a next level type of thing. I’m assuming main eventing Hell In A Cell pay-per-view with Shane now and if anyone is a master of making sure people get put over in matches, it’s Shane. Here’s what I really want to know – I want to know what Vince was saying to Kev right before the headbutt because you can see he’s laying something on him and I know how Vince talks like that. Like when I came out and handed in the briefcase, he says stuff to you and it’s motivating stuff, so I’d really like to find out what was said there.

Edge goes on to say that Vince told him to “prove him right” because Vince had faith in Edge over his decision to push him, while the others at WWE didn’t share the same thoughts as Vince and believed the push was “too soon” for Edge.

“‘Prove me right. Prove me right.’ because he was the only one that was in my corner. Everybody else either thought it was too soon after nine years with the company, or didn’t think it was going to work, or whatever. I mean, if I was going to have anybody in my corner, he’s the right guy to have and, thankfully, I did prove him right. But hearing that, right as I was about [to cash in], I was ready to chew the world apart, so I’d really like to know what that dialogue was because he’s not going to put somebody over that strong unless he sees something.”

Edge stated that this feud could make Kevin Owens a “made man”.

“Good angle. It will be interesting going forward after Hell In A Cell where Owens goes because it could be argued that he got jumped passed the world title in terms of like, whoa, I don’t want to say ‘importance’, but in terms of interest. It will be interesting to see going forward because it could make Kevin a made man, basically going off of this and if it’s continued because work-wise, he just keeps doing what he’s doing. Maybe, yeah… And he’s a heel, which is not the case a lot nowadays. Like I’ve said, there are not too many heels and he’s one of them.”

Recently, Daniel Bryan appeared on E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness hosted by former World Champions, Edge and Christian. Interestingly enough, Bryan revealed tons of details regarding his retirement from last year.

Bryan revealed that he was originally cleared by his own doctor but WWE made a decision to send him to two more doctors who were of their choosing. However, Bryan was cleared by these two doctors as well.

Afterwards, WWE sent him to Los Angeles for some ‘experimental testing’ which apparently showed that Bryan had a lesion in his brain. Following this, Vince McMahon forced Bryan to write up a retirement speech, which he did after being convinced by the WWE that it was indeed for the best.

Post-retirement, Bryan was asked by one of the doctors who cleared him about the reason behind his retirement. Hence, Bryan let him know that it was because of the lesion that was found in his brain. The doctor, however, told him that the term lesion was very “vague” and that it only meant that something  “may” be there.

He also revealed that the tests indicated that his reflexes were comparatively slower than that of the other athletes, though they were still faster than that of an average man. Furthermore, he revealed that upon testing his brain looked like that of a college football player and his time off from wrestling had healed it to the point that it looked like the brain of an average person who has had no history of head trauma.
