#3 Matt Riddle says he misses MMA
Former UFC and MMA fighter Matt Riddle, who recently signed with WWE, said that he misses MMA in an interview with MMAJunkie: "I do miss it. I watch the fights. I watched Tyron Woodley dominate this week. I feel bad for the fighters and I know...things are a little different now, but I know my world when I was in MMA, everything was tough."
He also revealed the pay difference between MMA and WWE and said that it was difficult being an MMA fighter: "Life was just so tough. Everything was a struggle. Bills were a struggle. Even when you're on top in the UFC, you only get paid a couple times a year. I'm just really glad to have that all behind me and focus on my craft."
#4 Renee Young's commentary dilemma when Dean Ambrose is wrestling
It was announced recently that Renee Young would become WWE's first full-time female commentator after she stepped in once on RAW. She has now spoken about how she would handle commentating when her real-life husband, Dean Ambrose, is out in the ring.
In an interview with Richard Deitsch on the Sports Media podcast, Young said that the three times she's commentated on RAW, she hasn't had to talk much about her husband as he was in tag matches or a return from his injury.
Young said: "I’m not sure how that’s going to go yet. I’ve definitely been thinking about it but I’m not... I just don’t know. I don’t want it to be a thing that gets in the way or becomes a little bit too like ‘oh my gosh, you’re his wife, let’s take her hostage’ and make me part of the storyline. I think I would prefer to stay away from stuff like that.
"But, of course, listen, we work for WWE and things happen. I’m game to roll with whatever comes down my way and, like you said, we’ve done that before. We’ve done it with Miz & Maryse where it’s come up, we’ve been on Total Divas together before, but at this point in where we both are in our careers, I’m not sure how that’s going to shake out."

#5 Cris Cyborg teases huge match with Ronda Rousey
One of the baddest women on the planet, Cris Cyborg, has possibly teased a match with Ronda Rousey in the WWE in the near future. The Brazilian is the Women's Featherweight Champion in the UFC, and in an interview with Ariel Helwani, she hinted at a match with Rousey.
“If it is happening, maybe we can give the fans the fight they’ve never seen…I think it would be great for all the fans that would like to watch. I’m not sure about that 100%, but…I’ll talk to my manager and see what’s going to be, if it's a good thing or not. I don’t know. Maybe it happens, maybe it’s not," said the current UFC Women's Featherweight Champion. (H/T 411Mania for the transcription)
When asked if the WWE had contacted her, she replied saying, “News coming soon.”
