– Former WWE Intercontinental champion Bad News Barrett was interviewed by Sky Sports last week to promote WrestleMania 31 and was asked why he stopped delivering “Bad News” on WWE TV. Barrett revealed that WWE officials squashed the segments because fans were joining in on the catch phrase and cheering him.
This is a similar situation to WWE making Cesaro stop doing his big swing, since he’s also a heel and fans were cheering the move. (Thanks to SEScoops reader Undertaker316).
– WWE announced on SmackDown that Ziggler would not be wrestling because he was “unable to compete.” Ziggler is not injured and this was just part of storylines, selling the beatdown from Sheamus on RAW.
– Director James Gunn revealed last week that he has finished writing for the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 movie, which is set to be released May 5th, 2017. Batista will be reprising his role as Drax the Destroyer.
– Goldust teased on Twitter that he’s interested in being a coach for the upcoming season of Tough Enough. He also noted that he’ll be facing Stardust on WWE’s upcoming WrestleMania Revenge tour of Europe.
