WWE released a Photo Shoot interview with The Miz where he talked about several topics. One interesting note discussed on his appearance was when he talked about the events that led up to him roasting Daniel Bryan on an episode of Talking Smack and what transpired beforehand.

“There were a lot of emotions going on here. This wasn’t just to Daniel; this was like, to everyone. I unleashed a lot because Creative had nothing for me that day, and I went, ‘What?’ They were like ‘Yeah, you’re not on the show tonight.’ What do you mean I’m not on the show? I’m the Intercontinental Champion. They were like, ‘Yeah, but we’re introducing new titles, we’re introducing the new Tag Team Titles and the new SmackDown Women’s Title, and so, we don’t have room for the Intercontinental Championship.’ I was like ‘Wait a second, you’re introducing new titles, but what about the rich history of this title? The title that you guys just keep throwing back, and throwing back, and throwing back. Burying it, burying it, and burying it, and I’m sick [of it].’ I was so aggravated, I was so sick of it. And I was like, ‘Put me on Talking Smack tonight, I’m going to unleash havoc on everything and everyone.’”

WWE published an article recently about the company’s Grand Slam Champions and JBL wasn’t mentioned in the piece. This prompted the former WWE personality to respond to being snubbed by the company and questioned if the list is even complete.

He wrote, “Hey @WWE you sure this list is complete? Might should check your facts. Leave a Wrestling God off the list? I win US Title, Intercontinental Title, Tag Titles and WWE Title-Grand Slam Champion, and @WWE puts out a list and omits me? Come on man!”

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.”

While participating in a Q&A in Paris, Lita revealed that there had been talks about possibly debuting tag team titles for the Women’s division.

“There has been talks of tag titles for the Women’s Division and I think that I love that they first introduced the MITB briefcase, that’s been a long time coming and that adds an element of surprise within the title picture.”

He continued, “I would love to see these rumored tag titles appear sooner than later, but for that to happen, I hope they bring up these women that are already at NXT or some women they’ve seen on the Mae Young Classic and expand the roster. “

The Fashion Police recently spoke with Dual Shockers. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Breeze on wanting a tag team title shot: “I would hope so, man. You know, we’re busy with the [Fashion] Files and everything. Solving cases throughout the WWE. Eventually, The New Day and the Usos got to wrap it up and they need new people to face. We already had a couple run-ins with the Usos and I think people want to see more.”

Fandango on when they might try to get a title match: “I think post Hell in a Cell, when they kind of finish their business, and we wrap up our case here that we’ve been working on, maybe we’ll set our sights on those tag team titles.”

Breeze on how they were put together as a team: “Yeah, it had been brought up a couple times and it was one of those things where he was doing nothing; I was doing nothing; we were just tossed together to see what happens. I don’t even know if they were banking on us clicking the way we did. Especially stumbling upon something like Fashion Files that took off and people really enjoy it. It was, kind of, a lot of luck and one of those things you try real hard at.”
