-Count Taz among the people that don’t believe Jinder Mahal’s push is too much at this point. “I don’t think so at all,” he said on his show. “A lot of fans will say the guy wasn’t pushed, they weren’t doing much with him and he was losing a bunch of matches. To me it’s all about, and if Vince McMahon where here he’d agree, if a guy’s in-ring work is strong enough, if he can sell tickets on the microphone and get the proper reaction, has some size, looks believable, it’s ‘Hey, let’s give this guy a shot.’ I don’t have a problem with it at all.” He also gave his thoughts on whether he thinks it’s a bad sign that Nakamura isn’t already in the main event and if Mahal will fare better than The Great Khali.

-The WWE Performance Center has received some criticism in that some people believe it produces talent without focusing on their individuality. Triple H responded to those claims. “The misconception is always the same, and it’s absolutely wrong,” he said. “We are looking to make our talent as diverse as possible. People say everyone is wearing the same thing and training the same way. Yet they are not training the same way. We are grouping people together to work on building certain skills.” He also talked about how often he goes to the Performance Center and touched on what makes a great coach.

-Even though Nikki Bella saying “yes” to John Cena’s wedding proposal seemed like a sure thing to everyone, apparently, Cena himself was a bit more worried about it. He claimed asking her was the most nervous he’d been in his entire life and was thankful that it received a positive reaction from the crowd. He also talked briefly about when it’s time for a wrestler to retire.
