– WWE Diva Cameron (Ariane Andrews) appeared on Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family” show on Tuesday promoting her new single “Wrong Number.” The hosts asked her about dealing with social media hate. She said when she first joined WWE, it bothered her, but she learned how to deal with it with help from friends. The segment wrapped with a game of Name That Submission. Cameron got Camel Clutch and Dragon Sleeper, but did not know why the Clutch is called that. (Thanks to VIP’er Kylin in New Jersey)

Charlotte talked about the pressure she feels being in the wrestling business in a new interview promoting a Comic-Con appearance. “I feel the pressure to continue to get better to fulfill my own legacy, but also continue my dad’s,” Charlotte told the Reno Gazette-Journal promoting an appearance at the Reno Comic Con later this month. “I want to make an impact in the industry like my father (Ric Flair) did, but in my own way, whether it be refining the (Divas) division or reinventing a major pay-per-view.”

The Christian Post covered former TNA Knockouts champion Taryn Terrell giving her testimony in an on-camera video. Terrell talked about living a destructive lifestyle while in WWE earlier in her career, then having a spiritual awakening in June of this year.

“This is the beginning of my journey. This is me, an infant Christian, coming to you because I was just so recently on the other side wondering ‘What does all this mean?'” she said. “I don’t know much. Like I said, I am just in the process of beginning to be a Christian, but I am beginning to grow and mature and grow in my relationship with Christ.”
– Injured WWE star Daniel Bryan arrived in India for a promotional tour and teased a “big announcement” this week.
