#2. Braun Strowman shares an impressive statistic

#3. Rhea Ripley involved in a hilarious exchange with Nia Jax

Rhea Ripley teamed up with Iyo Sky at last weekend's live events to take on Naomi and Nia Jax. During one of the shows, Mami pinned the Irresistible Force in her signature pretzel style, which led the latter to announce that she would be getting a pregnancy test done.

The former Women's World Champion responded to the same with a hand-on-face smiling emoticon, acknowledging her co-worker's humor.


#4. WWE Hall of Famer confirms he won't wrestle again

It has been the year of comebacks in WWE as John Cena, Goldberg, Trish Stratus, and Nikki Bella made their in-ring returns. However, Hall of Famer Kevin Nash made it clear that he won't be joining the list as he is done with in-ring action:

"Nobody ever asked me [about retirement match]. I'll say no...No, I wouldn't even get in the ring. Once you're done, I'm not getting [back in the ring]. I just love, I posted something the other day of me lifting weights, and somebody said, 'Looks like you got another one.' Dude, doing eight reps with a couple of 100 pounds on, it's not getting in [the ring]," he said.

Nash was a major name in the pro wrestling world during the 90s and early 2000s. He returned to the global juggernaut for a brief run in 2011, during which he had a feud with CM Punk and Triple H.
