-- WWE star Sheamus has been cast in the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which is due out in 2016. Filming is currently taking place in New York. Sheamus will be playing the villain role of "Rocksteady," and it appears his new look for WWE TV is being worked into his character.

-- Kevin Owens/Steen talked in-depth about his journey to WWE, starting with getting hooked on wrestling by watching WrestleMania 11, of all PPVs, all the way to being in the middle of the ring with John Cena for his WWE TV debut.

“That whole moment was so surreal. I remember being in the ring at one point, I was face to face with John Cena, and I remember it was almost like a bit of an out-of-body experience where I was kind of surveying the whole situation and thinking like, ‘Holy crap, you’re on Raw right now, man!’ But at the same, I must say, I felt I belonged. I felt like I was exactly where I needed to be," Owens told TheWhig.com. [ LINK: Full, in-depth interview with Jan Murphy HERE ]

-- WWE filed a "Conflict Minerals Report" with the SEC this week. The filing notes that WWE conducted an investigation of certain products sold in 2014 to determine whether tin included in the products originated in a conflict country in Africa.

The filing notes that WWE conducted a "country of origin inquiry" into tin that was included in foam fingers and light-up necklaces. The findings were that one supplier obtained tin from South America and the other supplier sourced their materials from China or Indonesia. [ LINK: SEC Filing HERE ]
