Ryback is joined on today’s show by his co-host, Phoenix Marie.

Ryback talks about his relationship with Curtis Axel. He says that Axel is a great guy who he had a great time working with. He adds that tagging with Curtis Axel was the most fun he ever had in his wrestling career, even though he considered that to be his ‘punishment period’ in WWE.

After spending a long period of time in the main event picture, Ryback was teamed with Curtis Axel and they’d rarely even have an entrance when they were wrestling on television. He points out that not getting an entrance for your match is a terrible feeling and he asked McMahon if he was being punished but McMahon answered, “I don’t believe in punishment, pal”. In spite of this, Ryback still thinks he was being punished for something at that time.

Ryback mentions that a former professional wrestler who he knew from working on the independent scene unfortunately committed suicide recently. This wrestler was known for taking unnecessary risks and being reckless with his body in the ring, and in spite of everyone’s warnings, he continued to take those risks until one night he took a bad bump and broke his neck.

Summer Rae took to Instagram and released the following statement regarding her release from WWE:

“They say you’ll never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory. Well that wasn’t true in this situation. I knew the value of this moment, I knew the magnitude of this moment. I hear some of you say “but you didn’t become champ”, “you didn’t get the push you deserved”, “you didn’t get a title run”. But see, I got MY title. I became a WWE Diva.

In this picture above, my in ring debut on TV, I knew the value of that moment. In that moment I became a WWE Diva. I could take a small, very small breath of relief because I did it! For so many years I dreamt of stepping onto that main stage of Monday Night Raw & then getting into that ring with these strong, beautiful, smart & courageous women. I wanted to be one of them. I knew I could be one of them! I felt it SO deep down in my heart. Once it happened I of course set more goals for myself within the company & trained harder to reach them. But the people that flood my comments with these things that I ‘should have’ gotten — you guys are missing the overall dream that I achieved. That I went to Monday Night RAW as a fan & sat in the crowd & watched the girls & wanted that more than anything I had ever felt in my body ever before. Then, I did it. I did it. I’ve wrestled in over 15 countries on 4 continents & made friends in fans all over the world. I have had the opportunity to live out my dream! And that is because God blessed me with obtaining my dream through hard work & determination. So please don’t fight with one another about me & start boards about Justice for Summer Rae. Know that I DID IT! I am a WWE Diva, a WWE Superstar. And no one will ever be able to take that away from me! “

Kurt Angle recently did a Q&A on Facebook. Here are some highlights from the session:

Which year was your best run in the business?

“In WWE? 2003. I was crushing it. Titles…best matches. It was lots of fun. BUT I got better after WWE and had some amazing years in TNA. But I’m glad to be back in WWE.”

Hi Kurt! Please update us on the situation of Neville and Nia Jax

“I don’t know about Neville, yet but Nia should be ok to go very soon. They’re both important talents to the roster.”

Have you ever dealt with anxiety during your career and how do you keep yourself relaxed?

“Yes. Breathe. Inhale and exhale a few dozen times. Clear your mind. Meditation. It works!”

With the Shield back on Raw, how do you think this will effect the remaining roster?

“The Shield opens more possibilities, like tag matches. And with Survivor Series around the corner, it will be interesting where they go from here.”

Kurt. Whats your favourite finishing move from another wrestler?

“The Sleeper. So easy to take. LOL.”

Any regrets in wrestling?

“I wish that I would have taken better care of myself. I abused my body without nurturing it. I had no maintenance routine. I do now.”

Is there one wrestler who intimidated you when they walked into the locker room?

“Not so much intimidation. It’s tough for me to get intimidated, but Undertaker has amazing presence. You respect him the second you meet him.”

Welcome to Monday Night Raw, a mere six days away from WWE No Mercy!

Tonight’s show is to be main evented by Nia Jax facing Alexa Bliss. This is the first time these two have gone one-on-one but the match has been looming for a long time. Jax finally turned on Bliss a few weeks ago and now she finally gets her hands on the Champion, albeit in a non-title match, ahead of the huge Fatal 4-Way at No Mercy on Sunday night. Can Bliss escape with her body intact, or will she be demolished ahead of the huge match? Let us know your thoughts!

With No Mercy this Sunday, the most anticipated match is arguably John Cena Vs. Roman Reigns. The two biggest dogs, again arguably, in WWE are set to lock horns in a match that has had a fiery hot build-up. Cena and Reigns have gone back and forth over shoot-style promo’s, which Cena has come out on top of time and time again. Tonight is likely to see the two exchange words again but I wouldn’t be surprised to finally see them take the gloves off and go toe-to-toe. If so, keep your eye on whoever stands tall at the end, cause that person is likely to lose come Sunday night.

Braun Strowman has had an incredible few weeks, having beaten-up Brock Lesnar, demolished The Big Show inside of a steel cage, and laid-out John Cena. WWE has been building Strowman like an absolute monster and I don’t expect that to change tonight. WWE hasn’t advertised Lesnar for tonight’s show, so I don’t expect him to make an appearance, which leaves Strowman’s sights on some other poor soul.

There’s a lot more to look forward to on tonight’s show, from The Hardy Boyz to The Miz. Remember to download the free Ringside Talk app and let us know your thoughts and feelings. Enjoy the show!

While speaking to Boston Wrestling Sports, John Cena Sr. talked about the women of WWE and mentioned that he’s not a fan of Charlotte or Alexa Bliss.

“I’m not a fan of Charlotte Flair. I’ll be right upfront. Alexa Bliss, what’s she got? The looks and the body, that’s about it. You know what? I’m going to stop before I get myself in trouble. Natalya is a great kid, I think Sasha is a great performer, it’s too bad Bayley is out.”

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal recently had an interview with NBC News, where he talked about his personal life, how he was shy talking in front of people and how he was made fun of for wearing a turban when he was young. Mahal told NBC how he prepared himself by training, gave attention to his diet, to get ready for the opportunity.

“I’m very down to earth, quiet. I’m kind of a homebody. I have a little dog. She keeps me company,” Mahal told NBC. “I just like to train and diet and get my rest so my body can recover so I can wrestle.”

“It’s an entertainment industry, and I know you have to turn up the volume, which I’m now comfortable doing,” he added. ”At first I was very shy to talk into the mic and to talk in front of people.”

Mahal became the 50th WWE Champion by defeating Randy Orton two months ago at Backlash. Soon after becoming the champion, Mahal has gone on to ask the WWE Universe to denounce racism.

“People would always make fun of me,” he said. “But it’s important to always stay true to yourself and not let that get to you.”

“Our fans there are very passionate,” he added. “WWE Universe India is one of our most special places. … I’m very proud of my heritage and hope to make everybody proud.”

Mahal said that he wants to make an impact on the youth. Mahal is a part of WWE’s Be A STAR anti-bullying campaign and Make-A-Wish Foundation. He plans to set up a wrestling school, and help the community.

“I was fortunate enough to have great trainers growing up,” Dhesi said. “I just want to give the youth the same opportunities that I had. I want to pass it forward. Often the kids are neglected and they find themselves getting into trouble.”

Ryback is joined on today’s show by his co-host Pat Buck.

Ryback informs that he just finished another stem cell procedure, which is helping him with injuries he suffered over his career in professional wrestling. He is having issues with the discs in his neck/back, and for this reason he says he is done performing any type of stunner manoeuvre. He says that even executing a leg drop is very hard on your body when you do it for multiple years.

Ryback comments on some negative buzz that he has received on the indie scene, with some people thinking that he’s failing on the indies simply because they don’t see him wrestling for certain promotions. He informs that he’s simply choosing not to wrestle for some promotions, because he’s not wrestling for free or for a discount since he knows his value.

He says that people can criticize him all day long but he knows how hard he works, and if any of these critics spent any time with him they’d see it too. He says that this past year has been a terrific year for him financially both with wrestling and with his supplement business, and while he continues to let his body heal, he’s not focused on working for any and all promotions that inquire about bookings.

Former WWE Diva Tammy “Sunny” Sytch has been hospitalized after she claimed she passed out and fell.

While there is no exact word of what happened, she noted that she was “pretty rocked and not steady.” She was taken to the emergency room at South Side Hospital in Bay Shore, NY.

It’s worth noting that her friends and fans had concern for her when he took to Facebook and wrote, “No one cares about me.” She’s been posting photos of her bruises on her body, which you can see below:

While appearing on Busted Open Radio, Austin Aries mentioned that he will be taking time off from WWE to heal some nagging injuries.

“I’ve got some stuff going on, but just to be fair you could probably say that for a lot of the locker room. It’s kind of part of what we do, I don’t think anyone is ever 100%. So I got a couple things going on and obviously at this point it might be a good time to take a little break which really could consist of two days to just adjust some of those things, try and get my mind and my body right and then come back and figure out what’s gonna be next and what the direction’s gonna be.”

Jinder Mahal recently spoke with GQ. Here are highlights from the interview:

His go-to fast food restaurant: “You can actually eat very clean at Chipotle. They have white rice, they have brown rice, and they have chicken. I stay away from the guac and the sour cream. I just get lettuce, double-meat chicken, and a white or brown rice. Sometimes you don’t realize how bad you feel from just eating out all the time at fast food places. I haven’t eaten McDonald’s or any other fast food in I don’t know how long. Not even pizza.”

Which supplements he takes: “I actually take quite a few supplements. I have protein with me all the time. I always have branched-chain amino acids. I take those with water before my morning cardio. They prevent muscle breakdown. I take a magnesium supplement before my workout because it prevents cramping. You know, I have to wrestle every night and I have to train so hard—sometimes I’ll work out and then later on I feel my back starting to cramp up. So magnesium helps a lot with that. I take multivitamin packs. There’s like 10 different multivitamins and digestive enzymes all in one little packet. I take one packet of those every morning. I take creatine and a pre-workout before I work out. And I always switch my pre-workout. Every bottle I finish, I get a different one so my body never gets used to it.”

Instagram post responding to fans thinking he’s on PEDs: “I don’t think people realize the hard work that goes into it. Nobody sees the work I’m putting in the gym. Nobody sees me doing cardio first thing in the morning. Nobody sees me lugging around that suitcase. And just generally, people don’t have that much knowledge about diet and the effects that diet alone can have on your body. If you see a bodybuilder before they’re in competition shape to when they get into competition shape, that’s all dieting, carb cutting, and macronutrients. I mean, you can totally transform yourself just by cutting carbs and even something as simple as drinking a gallon of water a day. The average person—like, 90 percent of the average population—is dehydrated. That’s another thing that I do now, which has been a huge key.”
