"I’m a guy that you know what popped up in my head when they said we want Austin to pee on over you? My wife and kids. But that’s the reason why I did it and did it smiling. That’s who I am responsible for. People may think that’s not true, but everything I’ve done in this business, every sacrifice I’ve made, every time I’ve had guys come to me that I respect and say, ‘You don’t have to do that. You’re Arn Anderson. You don’t have to do that bulls***t. Just tell them no.’ I did what was requested to take care of my family. That’s my first responsibility on this Earth." H/t Wrestling News

#4 The Undertaker to be challenged by heel WWE Superstar for WrestleMania?

The Undertaker's 30-year long career came to an end at Survivor Series this weekend as WWE bid The Deadman a final goodbye. Although it was stated to be The Undertaker's final farewell, Vince Russo believes that The Phenom will be back soon.

Talking to SportsKeeda on Legion of RAW, Russo stated that a heel Superstar will challenge WWE icon The Undertaker for a match at WrestleMania next year. The reason behind Russo's assessment is that even though it was meant to be a farewell for The Undertaker, everyone including The Undertaker and Kane appeared in character.

"This is his big retirement, right? This is it! This is it! His wife ain't there? Bro, mark my words. Mark down this date. That interview ended with him in gimmick and Kane in gimmick and everybody gimmick; the interview ended with 'now it's time for me to rest in peace.' I guarantee you, Chris. Between now and WrestleMania, you're going to have a heel say, 'You don't rest in peace until I say you rest in peace.' Mark my words."

#3 Plans for WWE Champion Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre may not have been able to defeat Roman Reigns at Survivor Series but that doesn't mean WWE has any plans to derail The Scottish Psychopath's push. After speculations as to who McIntyre will be feuding with next, it has been revealed by Wrestling Observer that former Universal Champion Braun Strowman will be facing the WWE Champion at TLC.

Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman for the WWE title is right now the scheduled main event for TLC on 12/20.

Braun Strowman has become one of WWE's most essential Superstars as The Monster Among Men has helped put a lot of talent over. By beating Strowman, McIntyre will continue his rise in WWE and will also gain a lot of credibility for putting down a monster such as Strowman.

There has been speculation that Drew McIntyre may be feuding with former WWE Champion Sheamus or the US Champion Bobby Lashley next but it looks like The Scottish Psychopath will have his hands full with Braun Strowman in the coming time.

#2 WWE's plans for Roman Reigns' opponent at Royal Rumble

Speaking about TLC, another match that could take place at the show is WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns taking on Daniel Bryan. However, as per WrestlingNews.co, WWE is leaning towards having the match at a later date.

Right now regarding Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan for the Universal title, that match is scheduled to take place at some point, it could be TLC, but it's leaning toward a later date.

If WWE does decide to delay a pay-per-view match between Bryan and Reigns, it would mean that the two men will face each other at Royal Rumble. This would be somewhat ironic as Daniel Bryan's rise to becoming a fan-favorite had started a few years back at Royal Rumble.

It was reported by Cageside Seats that Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns is due to happen but only after Bryan is done with Jey Uso. While the former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan was able to defeat Jey Uso last week on SmackDown, it appears the bad blood between the two hasn't ended just yet.

#1 Drew McIntyre busts a myth about former WWE Champion Randy Orton

WWE Champion Drew McIntyre had a lengthy feud with Randy Orton over the past few months. While The Viper was able to dethrone McIntyre as the WWE Champion for a bit, The Scottish Psychopath managed to win back the Championship from Randy Orton.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, the current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre talked about former 14-time World Champion Randy Orton and busted a long-running myth about The Legend Killer.

“I still hear how Randy doesn’t want to get too physical or take too many bumps, so for anyone that thinks he’s soft in the ring, that’s just not true. He went above and beyond to make me look as good as possible. We both worked our butts off, and I’m very proud of that match, as well as the chance to once again be WWE Champion.”

Randy Orton has been a part of WWE since 2002 and is one of the few Superstars to have won over 10 World Championships in the company.
