“Number one, I genuinely do not know if it’s true. I genuinely don’t. I haven’t heard anyone mention it. Obviously, there’s a buzz in the locker room. I think it’d be great, I think it really proves that the times have changed, I think it’d be a validation of how different everything is and how different the business is now. I don’t play the ‘us vs. them’ cards, I just don’t, I want everybody to be successful.” [via Wrestling Inc]
