In this interview Cope (Adam Copeland a/k/a Edge) says he’s probably done when his AEW contract expires: “The schedule is far better than what it used to be. If you asked me to try and pull off over 200 days a year that I pulled before, there is absolutely no way because the recovery takes too long now. I’ll have a match and it’ll take me a good week to finally start walking normal. I’ve realized now, I’m 51 years old, I figure I have until maybe 53, the end of this contract, and then it’s probably time to call it a day and get out while I can still limp away. {laughing} Lick my wounds and do a whole lot of yoga after.”

The coat Seth Rollins wore on Raw cost $13,500. Here’s how fashion label Rastah describes it: “This long velvet coat is a masterpiece, featuring intricate hand embroidery using the traditional Dabka technique. The coat’s striking navy blue velvet base serves as a luxurious backdrop for the golden peacock motifs and floral embellishments that flow from the sleeves down to the hem. The craftsmanship of the Dabka embroidery adds a rich texture, making this piece not only a statement garment but also a piece of art. This coat is both bold and elegant, perfect for a standout look.”
Lyra Valkyria is out for revenge on Becky Lynch: “Did you see how quickly she ran away from me in that ring? She actually could not have gotten out of that ring any faster. She’s actually always been like this and I have never noticed because I had stars in my eyes. She’s always been running her mouth, stepping on people, and then leaving. It took me until now to see it because even as far back as NXT, she told me I was this big hope. She made me feel so great about myself. She just waited until WrestleMania to cash it in and she ruined my dream, she ruined Bayley’s dream. Bayley, look, if you’re watching this, you don’t have to answer my texts, just know that I am truly truly sorry and at Backlash, I’m going to beat that throat cutting backstabbing liar and I’m gonna do it for both of us.”
