#1 Big Cass on being fired by WWE

Big Cass was released by the WWE following his match against Daniel Bryan at Money in the Bank, after reports suggested that he defied Vince McMahon's order and was drunk while on a WWE tour.

In an interview with WWE Hall of Famer Booker T's podcast, Heated Conversations, Cass spoke about his release and how he deserved to be fired by the WWE: "If I’m going to be honest with you, I made a lot of mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes in a very short period of time,” Cass admitted. “I did some things that I shouldn’t have done. I guess the company couldn’t rely on me and couldn’t trust me. Look, I’ll just be honest with you, in my opinion, they made the right decision for them.” (H/T WrestlingInc for the transcription)

He went on to say that if he was Vince McMahon he would have definitely fired himself for his behaviour.

Cass said that he's in a good place now and is waiting for his 90-day no compete clause with the WWE to expire and to get himself in the best shape possible before re-starting his career.

He will feature in Big Time Wrestling's show later this month, billed as "Big C".

#2 Kurt Angle reveals his favourite women wrestler; what he misses in WWE

In a Facebook Q&A, former RAW GM Kurt Angle revealed that his favourite women's wrestler of all-time was Chyna: "Chyna. She broke the barrier for women to not only show their wrestling skills, but she competed with men. She's the true pioneer."

Angle also said that he misses his Team Angle days, as well as matches with Superstars of the Attitude Era like Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, Brock Lesnar, Chris Benoit, Big Show, HHH, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Undertaker, John Cena, Rey Mysterio, and Randy Orton.

Angle is currently not on RAW after being stripped off his GM duties with many reports suggesting that he is set to return as a wrestler.

#3 Samir Singh injury status

7 months is a long time to be on the sidelines, I’ve had a lot of time to think. The rehab process has been long and frustrating but I wanted to get in the best shape of my life. The road to recovery is a long one but, I was very happy with my check in results this week. pic.twitter.com/MKBsiOsP9A

Samir Singh, one-half of the Singh Brothers, has been out of action for the last seven months due to injury. He has constantly updated his fans about his injury status and his latest post indicates that he's almost back to full fitness.

Samir looks ripped and ready to get in the ring and shake up the tag team division with his brother, Sunil. Jinder Mahal and Sunil were moved to RAW during the Superstar Shake-Up, which is where we will most likely see Samir, too, when he returns.

#4 Ken Shamrock wants to return to WWE

Ken Shamrock was an important member of the WWE roster during the Attitude Era and was last seen in the WWE in 1999, leaving the company to pursue a career in MMA. Shamrock has since wrestled in indie wrestling as well as a brief spell in TNA.

In an interview with Adam's Apple YouTube channel, Shamrock revealed that he was ready to return to the WWE and that he has "some unfinished business there".

"WWE is something I’m looking at. Definitely have been throwing little feelers out there to get an opportunity. Because I have achieved everything that I have set out to do in every organization except the WWE. I didn’t get the world title. I got everything else but that," said Shamrock.

Shamrock said that he hasn't had any response from the WWE but he would like to return: "There’s some unfinished business there, so I’ve always kind of been throwing feelers out there, saying, listen, I’d like to go back and get a run at the title. But, no response up to this point. But we’ll see what happens.”

#5 Alberto Del Rio on John Cena, Paige and CM Punk

Alberto Del Rio is a man who's been controversy's favourite child over the last few years.

In an interview with Chair Shots to the Cranium, the former WWE and Impact star spoke about several people, including John Cena, Paige and CM Punk. Del Rio praised Cena and said that he doesn't get enough credit.

"John Cena is fantastic, seriously. I hate when people don't give Cena the credit he deserves. These days, unfortunately, some fans - not all the fans, but some fans - they think just because you can do 1,000 moonsaults and you can do spot after spot, they think that's pro wrestling. That's not real pro wrestling. ... If you can create that magic because you have the skills to take fans on a roller coaster of emotions, that's real pro wrestling, and there's no one better than Cena," said Del Rio.

Del Rio praised Paige, who he was in a relationship with earlier, and said that "she could have been the most successful Diva of all-time", and "wish nothing but the best to Paige".

He spoke about CM Punk, revealing that he and Punk are good friends and he has great respect for what Punk has done: "Punk and I are really good friends. I have nothing but respect for everything he's done in his career and his MMA career. Because it takes a lot of guts, you have to be a real man to take that challenge to go inside the cage and fight."
