– Speaking on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, JTG offered his thoughts on the recent WWE cuts.

“Talent are finally getting frustrated and definitely getting frustrated with the way things are getting handled backstage and it’s sad because it doesn’t matter how hard you work, you have to be chosen,” he said. “You have to be handpicked and when (Ryback) put out that statement a couple of weeks ago, it made a lot of sense because it is the only business where no matter how hard you work, you can achieve to nothing.”

– Paige, who has been largely absent from WWE television since WrestleMania 32, joked about her absence on Twitter this week after a fan wrote, “where the hell is @RealPaigeWWE?” She responded:
