Lio Rush Admits He Doesnt Know When He Will Return To WWE, Claims He Is
Focusing On Wrestling

WWE Superstar, Lio Rush, recently spoke with HipHopDX where he admitted he
doesnt know what his future is within WWE and if he will work again.

Rush has been absent from WWE for over half-a-year at this point due to
backstage issues and he currently doesnt know what the future holds,
although he does want to focus on his music career.

“It’s a very strange thing,” Lio told HipHopDX. “WWE has so many employees
and talent. They’ve got SmackDown, RAW and NXT. And on top of those brands,
they have so many wrestlers and people that aren’t on TV. It’s just one big
wheel and once one thing is done, the next thing just keeps on going. A lot
of the times, things don’t pan out or work out the way that they thought
they would. So, this time that I’m spending right now is just reevaluating,
being at home with my family and working on other projects that I’ve always
wanted to work on, which was the single, and hopefully more music in the
future.”

Renee Young Talks Learning To Commentate On Raw, Responding To Criticism,
More

WWE Raw commentator, Renee Young recently spoke with Alicia Atout where she
spoke about her new role in WWE and dealing with criticism online.

Young got the social media world buzzing earlier this year when she openly
responded to a fan who was complaining about her commentary and she
reflected on that:

Its funny because when it happened I was like, Do I respond to this? I was
mulling it over just because I have my own insecurities with it anyway so
its like picking at that scab, but I was really surprised with how people
reacted about it. I think just talking from my heart really got to people
it was really cool.

Renee Young then went on to talk about her role on commentary and how she
is learning on the job:

When I first started out hosting, it didnt really go anywhere, nobody
really saw them so I could figure my stuff out much earlier without people
seeing it. But now, trying on this new hat of doing commentary its like, I
am stepping on there and doing commentary, I wasnt groomed for that spot, I
wasnt in the booth so I am learning this new skill on Monday Night Raw. No
pressure babe. Theres good days and bad days and I am always open to
criticisms, but even if its good and you run into 5, 10 people who have an
opinion on it, you cant take them all.

Finally, she also spoke about always being a confident talker and having
the gift of the gab:

I have never had an issue speaking, so thats good. I used to get kicked out
of class all the time because I would never shut up, I always wanted to be
the class clown and I was always cracking jokes. I think thats why hosting
came so natural to me.

Grizled Young Veterans Talk NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff, On Making History,
More

Posted: 30 Aug 2019 04:32 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/grizled-young-veterans-talk-nxt-uk-takeover-cardiff-on-making-history-more/


The NXT UK Tag Team Champions, Grizzled Young Veterans, recently spoke with
Alex McCarthy of Talk Sport ahead of tomorrows NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff
event.

On making history at NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool:

Zack Gibson:

It’s hard to put into words. Our whole journey was about getting to WWE and
to be the best we can be when we get there. So, to get to TakeOver:
Blackpool – which two minutes down the road from James’ house – and put our
names in the history books as the first-ever tag team champions… I remember
coming backstage and you’ve got Triple H and Shawn Michaels waiting for
you, telling you it was incredible, you’ve stolen the show – it was
incredible. And they sent title belts home to our families, just
incredible. Still, up to this point, one of the best moments of my life.
Hopefully, tomorrow is going to top it – we’ve got a lot of crazy stuff
lined up so it’s definitely one not to miss.

On the roster being hungry to perform at NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff:

James Drake:

Yeah, definitely. With the generation of what we are now, we all take a lot
of pride in our work. So basically, over the last 10 years we’ve seen a
boom in British wrestling and that’s mainly because of the generation you
see in NXT UK now. We’ve all evolved and put a lot of effort and time into,
hopefully, one day having this opportunity. It’s hard to put into words,
but all I can say is everyone is going out there to put on the best show,
everyone is going out there to steal the show, make a bigger name for
themselves, make NXT UK bigger than it already it has become. Cardiff is
just another cornerstone.

Where Takeover should go next:

Zack Gibson:

Anfield! Capital of culture, the best city in the world and I’m not just
saying that because I’m from there. I’ve seen plenty of the world and I’ve
compared it and nothing compares to Liverpool. TakeOver Liverpool would be
the dream but there is a ton of other cities… they all want TakeOver. All
of the talents would love TakeOver in their town. I say Liverpool and I
would be right, but it’s not down to me. It’s down to Johnny Saint.

Jordan Devlin wants to see TakeOver go over to Ireland, Dave Mastiff wants
to see it go to the Black Country, but one thing that is going to put them
all off is tuning in on Saturday and watching two Welsh lads in Flash
Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews, two lads who got their wish in Cardiff and
they got embarrassed in front of all of their family and friends.
Hopefully, the rest of the roster will realise having a TakeOver in their
own back garden is a bad idea while James Drake and I are on the roster.
