If I’m Tony Khan, I’m uncomfortable with the direction Punk decided to take this scrum. Tony should be in charge here while Punk buries his wrestlers and EVPs. What is happening?

- Her passion and dedication have gotten her to this historic moment .... tonight @ReneeYoungWWE becomes the first woman to ever call an entire episode of Monday Night #Raw. Congratulations! #WellDeserved
- Replying to @CodyRhodes @WWE and 4 othersOne of the coolest parts of the Barclays show on Monday was the crowd singing along with "Kingdom" and not just the "woooooooah" part. So fun. Enjoy this.
- Great to catch up with @YaOnlyLivvOnce this afternoon for the latest episode of Under The Ring launching Monday. She is so much fun. Here's us in Nov. 2016 after she (with pizza) & @Sonyadevillewwe faced @JessicaMcKay & @CassieLee at The Theatre at MSG. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/und…
- As part of my Under The Ring interview, I asked Liv Morgan (@YaOnlyLivvOnce) about the importance of @TJWilson and @NatbyNature to WWE, and specifically the women's division she currently sits atop. Check out the whole interview here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/und…

- To compare Lesnar and Punk's reigns is to miss the point on what an attraction is in pro wrestling. If Punk came back now, he'd be one and also likely wouldn't wrestle as often. Brock didn't make part-time Brock Universal champion, WWE did.Fascinating infographic breaks down Brock Lesnar's disappointing WWE title reign usat.ly/2wD19az
- Replying to @UnderTheRingIf Brock wrestled full time, he would be presented differently. It would also be harder to keep him special and retain his mystique, which is why you see him as often as you do. I also doubt Brock, at this stage of his life and career, is interested in being on the road full time
- Replying to @UnderTheRingIf Brock's not your cup of tea, that's understandable. But to say that a big-money draw who wrestles on huge shows in the main event is unsuccessful is, to me, a stretch.

- Seasoned pro @ReneeYoungWWE rebounds from slightly going off rails on Raw Talk by singing Lionel Richie. 😂 Amazing.
