Who Almost Became a Member of D-Generation X?
While speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Sean “X-Pac” Walman revealed that Val Venis almost became one of the members of D-Generation X if former WWE creative writer Vince Russo had his way. Waltman revealed that the members of the group were totally against the idea, so it never happened.
“Russo wanted to put Val Venis in DX, but we said no. We stuck to our guns because he wasn’t right for DX.
Also during the interview, Waltman compared The Bullet Club, which is led by Kenny Omega, and how it operates very similar to how the Wolpac did in WCW.
“We all had our role, we were all very happy in that role, and no one wanted the other’s role,” said Waltman. “They’re the same way. Why tinker with the recipe when it is just right?”
John Cena Says He’s Looking Forward to Facing Roman Reigns
While speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, John Cena was asked about Roman Reigns and possibly having a match against him in the future. Cena responded with the following:
“Roman is in the trenches every night and he’s performing at an elite level with a champion caliber attitude. His performance and the response that he gets from certain audiences is indicative of an elite-level performer. He’s doing what I did in 2006, 2007, and 2008. He has all the justification in the world in saying it’s his yard. I’ve made a career of shutting the mouths of people who’ve made that claim that WWE was their yard. I very, very much look forward to the day we put that to the test.”
