#2. WWE Champion Big E reaffirms his desire to retire Goldberg

WWE Champion Big E was a big professional wrestling fan in his youth and grew up idolizing Goldberg. Before he won the title, The New Day man stated that he would like to retire Goldberg during an interview with Hot 97.

In a more recent interview with RN Pro Wrestling, Big E revealed that those comments didn't go down well with the WCW legend. However, he reaffirmed his desire to be the man to end Goldberg's in-ring career:

"When I cut that nonsensical promo, the likelihood to me was like 2.5% tops. But now that I hold this dearly beloved WWE Championship, it's all possible. I would like to see that happen; that would be incredible. Imagine Goldberg's last match [against me]," stated Big E.

#1. Bobby Lashley reveals why he hasn't faced Brock Lesnar

A section of the WWE fanbase has fantasized about the dream match between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar. There were reportedly plans in place for the two behemoths to finally square off, but it didn't materialize.

During a recent interview with Josh Martinez, Lashley revealed why he never got his big match with Lesnar:

“Because the people around him don’t want to make it happen. I’m always prepared. I am in my final run, I have a few years left, but I am open for anything. I train, I’m always in shape, I’m always ready to go. So, it’s never something where you have to call me up and you have to wait months and weeks, I am ready to go right now."
