"They removed the cancer by removing his prostate," Ross said ... "His cancer is a non-issue now, thank god."
Ross added, "All issues are resolved and addressed ... so that's the good news about Bret Hart."

Monday’s WWE Raw viewership averaged 3.742 million viewers which was down from the 3.884 million average from last week. The show featured the return of The Undertaker. The first hour of Raw averaged 3.961 million viewers, second 3.660 million viewers and the third and final hour of the show averaged 3.551 million viewers.

For some comparisons, last week had 4.2 million, 4.05 million, and 3.39 million for hours. Highest 3rd hour since last August and overall hourly drop one of the lowest in a long time. In terms of historical stuff, same show last year had 80,000 more viewers although stronger 2nd and 3rd hours.

It’s unknown what the match will be exactly, but it’s possible that it will be a multi-man match for the Intercontinental title. This would be the second year in a row that the title is defended in a multi-man match.

On The Booking of The Wyatt Family:
“[WWE have] really homogenized The Wyatt Family. They’ve got great music. They’ve got a great entrance. Bray cuts a hell of a promo and Luke Harper is starting to cut great promos. He has drastically improved too and I know this guy’s a veteran guy.” Austin continued, “these guys were some of the hottest guys in the company a year [or] a year and a half ago. Here we are now and, I mean, just quite frankly, it is what it is. They don’t mean what they should to this company. And Bray Wyatt, being the leader of this faction, is taking a huge hit. And that’s a travesty of booking right there because, again, these are some very talented guys within The Wyatt Family structure.”
On John Cena:
“I don’t know how long John would like to wrestle, but as long as he wants to, I wouldn’t rush to come back [from injury too early] because, man, that dude’s a stud in the gym. His healing powers are phenomenal, but just don’t try to rush this thing back because it’s the shoulder and shoulders are tricky and it isn’t the time or place to try to jeopardize if you want another couple year run.”

TNA sued Steiner in June 2012, claiming he breached his (by then expired) TNA contract by making disparaging remarks about TNA, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Bruce Prichard, among others. TNA had sought damages and an injunction to stop Steiner from speaking out.
In responding to TNA's suit against him, Steiner denied that he ever agreed to not disparage the company, that speaking out against it would breach his deal, that he was involved in a "concerted effort to disparage" the company and its officers, that he ignored requests to stop, that he is in a legal and binding agreement with TNA and that TNA has suffered damages as a result of his actions.
Steiner had stated his TNA deal expired and while he was offered a new contract, he opted to turn it down and never executed the deal. As time went on, every single person Steiner went after via social media has departed TNA, which made the company's decision to keep pursuing the matter all the more puzzling.

Basically TNA tried to sue Steiner for saying bad things about the company even though he was no longer an employee at the time. Steiner's contract might not have contained a non-disparagement clause which could explain why the lawsuit failed in the end.

The two sides (well, WWE being the non-Sytch side, not Edge and Christian personally) had a bad falling out just over three years ago when Sytch, in a shoot interview, claimed that as soon as Linda McMahon’s last bid for the U.S. Senate ended, they pulled her out of a $1,000/day rehab facility to put her in a much cheaper one. WWE then made a public statement saying that they had “always provided rehabilitation at a certified treatment center; however, given Ms. Sytch’s inability to change her lifestyle and successfully complete treatment, WWE will no longer fund her rehabilitation."
