#2. Bronson Reed reacts to veteran's retirement
Australian wrestler Tyler Jacobs recently announced his retirement from in-ring competition. Bronson Reed reacted to the announcement with a heartfelt message, noting how Jacobs had an impact on his career.
"As a teenager, I was a fan of @Shotgun_EPW, and then the night I made my debut in wrestling, he was on the same show. He was so welcoming. He was one of the first people I asked for advice outside of my actual coach. He might not remember that, but I always will! Thanks, Carny!" tweeted Bronson Reed.
Reed is currently sidelined due to an injury that he suffered at Survivor Series: WarGames. He is expected to be out for approximately four to five months.
#3. WWE Analyst recalls Triple H's warning to Randy Orton
Kevin Owens has been on a warpath over the last couple of months. He took out Randy Orton several weeks back and injured Cody Rhodes this weekend at Saturday Night's Main Event. During his recent podcast, analyst Sam Roberts noted how Triple H had warned the Legend Killer about Owens beforehand.
"It also goes back to Randy Orton saying, 'I want to—I want a match with Kevin Owens,' and Triple H saying, 'No,' and Randy saying, 'Stop trying to protect Kevin Owens,' and Triple H saying, 'I'm not trying to protect Kevin Owens; I'm trying to protect you.'... But now, this is the Kevin Owens that even Triple H, months ago... Everything counts; all this stuff—it's all been kind of laid out. It was laid all out, and it's like, 'This is what we told you was coming,'" said Roberts.
#4. Trish Stratus sends a message to Chelsea Green following her win at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event
Chelsea Green made history at Saturday Night's Main Event as she became the inaugural WWE Women's United States Champion. The 33-year-old received a lot of love and support from the wrestling world after the win. Trish Stratus also sent a message to her fellow Canadian wrestler on Instagram.
