It was reported via WrestlingInc earlier today that WWE has been testing talents of the RAW roster for mumps. WWE responded to these reports and issued the following statement:

“We have confirmed that three of our performers have been diagnosed with a viral infection. As a precautionary measure, we are ensuring in-ring performers and staff are tested and immunized in accordance with recommended medical guidelines.”

Those three performers rumored to have been diagnosed are Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas. Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that the company found out about Wyatt & Reigns late in the week and came up with a plethora of replacement options, with Kurt Angle returning seemingly being the best one. Same for AJ vs. Finn.

While speaking to UK’s Independent to promote the upcoming tour of the UK, AJ Styles was asked if he believes if he’s the best wrestler in the world.

Styles responded, “I don’t know that I’m the best wrestler in the world. But I like to think that I work hard when I step into a ring and I take a lot of pride in what I do, take in pride in what I do.”

He continued, “Who is the best? That’s up for discussion I think; there are a lot of great performers out there. You never know which one is going to be the next ‘top guy’, but if you’re asking me about being the best wrestler in the world? I’d say I’m not.”

While appearing on Sam Roberts’ podcast, Seth Rollins revealed why the phrase “Burn It Down” was added to his current theme song.

Rollins explained that he was approached by Vince McMahon several weeks back and was told that he didn’t like the silent pause during the beginning of his entrance music. Rollins mentioned that he was surprised by this because he has had the song over three years and McMahon is now not liking it.

Prior to adding the “Burn It Down” intro, Rollins listed to several clips that were inserted into the pause in the song. The phrase “King Slayer” along with different sound effects were tested but “Burn It Down” ended up being the best option, so they decided to go with it.
