#1 Stone Cold Steve Austin compares NXT and the main roster

In a podcast with former WWE wrestler X-Pac, WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin compared NXT and the main roster, and how the NXT is winning fans better than the main roster.

The Texas Rattlesnake agreed with X-Pac, who said that NXT storylines are "nice and simplistic" and "easy to follow" compared to the main roster. Stone Cold said that NXT is a throwback to the old days with simple storylines.

"And to me, NXT, yeah, it's kind of like a throwback. And it's all modern stuff, great lighting, great production values, everything else, but the storylines are very easy to understand and very simple. And, I mean, the announcers aren't trying to go overboard trying to explain whatever's going on," said Stone Cold in the podcast (H/T WrestlingInc for the transcription).

Austin also said that because the main roster caters to many different kinds of people, the storylines can get a little convoluted: "It's like they're trying to play to so many people that the storylines get kind of convoluted."

#2 CM Punk reveals what he feels about pro wrestling, and comments on ALL In

CM Punk was widely tipped to make an appearance at the All In wrestling show earlier this month, but Punk has now revealed that a formal offer hadn't come in from The Young Bucks and Cody.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani on his show, Punk said that he had a conversation with Matt Jackson about the show but did not get an offer to make an appearance. But Punk also said that "there’s nothing left that interests me in wrestling”, quashing hopes of wrestling fans who wanted to see him back in the ring.

In the same interview, he said that he would like to continue in MMA, even if it is not in the UFC.

Meanwhile, Bellator's Aaron Chalmers challenged Punk to a fight earlier today.

#3 New match announced for Hell in a Cell

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre will defend their WWE Raw Tag Team Championship belts against The Shield's Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at Hell in a Cell.

Ziggler and McIntyre, along with Braun Strowman, have been going at it with all three members of The Shield, which perfectly set up this match for HIAC, after Ziggler and McIntyre became champions of last week's edition of RAW, after defeating The B-Team.

#4 Hulk Hogan on the NWO beating The Shield

In an interview with TMZ, Hulk Hogan, who has reunited the NWO for a series of events, said that his faction would "murder" The Shield, and even talked about Roman Reigns, and also revealed how he used to wrestle with Reigns' father.

"We would murder the bums, brother. We'd kill them. We laid the ground rules for taking shortcuts, we laid the ground rules for there's no substitute for victory. I used to wrestle with Roman Reigns' dad. You've seen pictures of me holding Roman Reigns as a baby. We taught them almost everything we know," said Hogan on The Shield and Reigns (H/T WrestlingInc for the transcription.

#5 Jim Cornette praises Seth Rollins

Former WWE booker and manager Jim Cornette, recently revealed why Seth Rollins is the complete package. Cornette even compared Rollins to a wrestling legend from the 80s and 90s, in his podcast with Bill Apter.

I've been a fan of one particular guy since I first saw him in Ring of Honor eight years ago. He was Tyler Black then, but he's Seth Rollins now. And I think he's just the whole package. He can work. He sounds good. He looks good. He's got the size. He's got the athletic ability. When I knew him, and hopefully nothing has changed, he was a good kid with no bad habits," said Cornette about the Intercontinental champion (H/T WrestlingInc for the transcription).

Cornette compared Rollins to former WWE and WCW Superstar, Rick Rude.
