“I can't wait for it to happen. I've been waiting a very long time. I've to say I'm a little disappointed he didn't choose Drew McIntyre and the WWE Championship as the match. It was pointed out recently that it was his first match on SmackDown in about 10 years. His last match was with a young Drew McIntyre."

"I look back to that time and how different things were. Like he was the Heavyweight Champion. He was on top of the world. I would have done anything to get myself a title shot and then you fast forward to the present day with Edge making his return. I'm the WWE Champion. I'm on top of the world and he would have done anything to get himself a WWE Championship shot. So, the story writes itself. We have a lot of history together. It's going to be great when it happens."

- Nikki Cross, who hasn't been featured in a storyline on WWE television in some time, took to Instagram to say that if she wanted to she could have a Ph.D. but what she feels she was born to do is be an entertainer and a professional wrestler.

I got my bachelors. I’m halfway through my masters. I’ll get a PhD if I want to. I’m a qualified personal trainer and gym instructor.

Heck I could teach a spin class if I wanted to.

But I want what I want.

I want to wrestle.

I want to entertain.

It’s what I was born to do.
