Summer Rae appearing on FOX Business News earlier today talking Bitcoin and plugging the Royal Rumble on Cavoto Coast to Coast.  Thanks to my old friend Boris for sending that along.

Online now for PWInsider.com Elite subscribers, WWE 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke discusses this Saturday's Royal Rumble PPV, getting to Rumble in front of fans again, why her 24/7 Championship run means so much to her, talents she hopes she gets to face in the Rumble, whether her title will be on the line during the match, breaking down the champions she could challenge if she wins and which she would pick, how having an annual Rumble for the division has changed things, returning talents, loving the energy of performing live and much more!  The Rumble streams this Saturday on Peacock and the WWE Network.

Doudrop was interviewed by TalkSport in the UK to promote this Saturday's Rumble PPV bout against Becky Lynch.    On the bout, she noted, "It’s wild, man. I’m constantly dumbfounded but cautiously optimistic about the whole thing. I feel like so much has been handed to me and put in front of me that I’m just like ‘OK, yeah, I can totally deal with this, I’m not going to have an existential crisis, don’t worry about it, everything is going to be fine. What are you worrying about?   I don’t know if people know this, but I’ve been waiting 15 years for this match. Way back when I first started training in a little warehouse in Linwood, Scotland, there really wasn’t many experienced girls in the UK wrestling scene at all.   There was me, Nikki Storm – who had also just started out –  down in England we had Mischief and Erin Angel and then over in Ireland we had Miss Rebecca Knox.   We were very aware of Becky at the time. Even back then she was at the top of her game. She was the girl our trainers were trying to get in and have matches with us so we could learn from her, get some kind of experience. But, sadly, unbeknownst to us at the time, she was just packing up things there to move over to the U.S. We made efforts to get her over but it just didn’t work out.  So 15 long years later, here we are. It’s one big ass circle to go in, but we got there [laughs].”

Doudrop also noted she's been working a lot with Producer Pat Buck, noting, "It changes a lot, but somebody I’ve been working with a lot is Pat Buck and he helped on the matches with Bianca.   I feel really comfortable with Pat, I really like it when we work together. I didn’t know him at all before I got to RAW, but now I refer to him, me and Bianca as the Dream Team."
