– In light of recent allegations from Austin Matelson and other former WWE developmental wrestlers, Bill DeMott announced Friday that he is stepping down from his role as head trainer for NXT effective immediately. Osmund Cherry, who worked in WWE’s developmental system in 2012 and 2013 under the name Malik Omari, is pleased with the news.
@BillDeMott am happy you step down. You were nothing but a fat fucking piece of shit bully. #dontgethot

In former developmental wrestler Austin Matelson’s (Judas Devlin) March 2013 memo to WWE officials Canyon Ceman, Dorothy Brill and Jane Geddes accusing DeMott of misconduct, he noted that DeMott would routinely tell Cherry, who is of African descent, “to go back to Africa.”
– For WWE’s “Legends of WrestleMania” issue exclusively available on newsstands, Kane revealed his career highlight as his match against Undertaker at WrestleMania XIV in Boston, Massachusetts.
“The highlight of my career, still, is our match at WrestleMania XIV,” Kane states. “Despite everything that I’ve done since that night, despite winning multiple championships, that match is still the highlight. It truly was the culmination of everything we’d been through up to that point, and it was one of the best rivalries WWE has ever seen. To have it all come to a head in our first match at the Show of Shows was just awesome. And, even though Undertaker defeated me, it took him three Tombstones to do it, which had never happened before.”
