- Speaking with Digital Spy, Adam Pearce spoke about training Bad Bunny for his match at WrestleMania 37 and said that he could tell early on that Bad Bunny was a true fan and was going to do everything he could to make sure he did not drop the ball at WrestleMania.
"You knew instantly there was a passion for what we do beyond, 'I'm a fan, that watches Raw and Smackdown'. I never heard the word 'no' come out of his mouth and we put him through every single pace that we put anybody else through, and I pride myself on that.
"Yes, it's Bad Bunny, yes he's a worldwide superstar, yes, he's a Grammy Award winner, yes he's a celebrity and yes, he did every single thing that every other trainee, whether we knew who they were or not, did and he should take a lot of pride in that."

- Speaking with WrestleZone, Ted DiBiase Jr. opened up about the launch of his new venture, 16Creative, a branding agency offering help to wrestlers, athletes, and Veterans looking to expand their brands online.
“[DiBiase and former Marine David Keller] hooked up at a charity golf tournament up in Akron, Ohio, raising money for a children’s hospital up there. And so anyway David is one of the guys that was helping [Jared] manage his stuff online, and he does that for a lot of artists in Nashville and the country music scene. And we got to talking and we just really haven’t done well at all or had any success online,” DiBiase explained, “so they were like, ‘let’s talk.’ And we got to talking one day about my dad’s stuff, I’m like, ‘you know, the “Million Dollar Man” could be like a Betty White,’ and he really just needs to be revised and brought to life and really get the credit he deserves.
“And so that was the goal, was to help him really monetize his brand and the platform he built, not just monetize but promote what he’s invested in and what he’s doing today and his ministry work and the great work that he does. So it just turned into a business venture,” DiBiase said. “There are so many other guys that need this once they leave WWE or wrestling, [they say] ‘well what now?’ There’s the signings and the bookings but in this day and age, everything lives online.”
