#3. Dutch Mantell comments on Bray Wyatt

Speaking on SportsKeeda's Smack Talk, the legendary manager Dutch Mantell (fka Zeb Colter) spoke about what he thought of Bray Wyatt. He said that even though Wyatt was a great talker, his promos did not connect with many, including him.

Mantell pointed out that the former WWE Champion's promos were ambiguous and did not point to anyone in particular.

''If a guy gets in the ring and talks, he may be a great talker, but if he doesn’t connect… And that was the same feeling I used to feel when Bray Wyatt would get in the ring and start talking. He’d talk for three minutes and as soon as he would leave – and I love Bray – but I’d think, ‘What did he say? I can’t remember what he said,'' said Mantell.

Comparing him to the Undertaker, Mantell insinuated that Wyatt could not grip the fans in the manner that The Deadman used to do during his era.

Strowman was one of WWE's best 'big guys' and it wouldn't be surprising if he eventually returns to the company.

#1. Liv Morgan admits she had a crush on John Cena

SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan talked about having a big crush on John Cena when she was younger. Speaking on Sneaker Shopping with Complex, she noted that he has been a subconscious influence on her career.

“I loved John Cena, I thought he was the s–t,” Morgan admitted. “I had such a crush on him. He would pump his little sneakers, and I’d pump my sneakers, and I didn’t even have pumps,'' said Morgan.

The 28-year-old praised 16-time World Champion, saying that he is amazing. Morgan also said that since he always wore sneakers, it is something that got embedded in her mind and she started doing the same.
