As noted before, Santos Escobar signed a new contract with WWE on October 8th that included a hefty pay raise and other perks. Escobar’s original contract with WWE had expired that same day after he had turned down an offer that included a pay raise due to “creative dissatisfaction” issues.

It is currently not known if Escobar will be making an appearance on the show itself.


AJ Styles Comments on His Match with John Cena at Crown Jewel: Perth

The Boston Herald held a recent interview with AJ Styles. One of the topics discussed included Styles’ thoughts about his match against John Cena at WWE’s Crown Jewel: Perth event earlier this month.

“I’m not sure there is anyone in the ring I trust more than John Cena. He’s incredible at understanding what the fans need when they need it. He’s even more incredible with the way he treats people.

During our match at Crown Jewel, which is the last time we’ll ever wrestle each other, I was in the moment. I embraced and enjoyed it — I mean, it’s hard not to love what you do when you’re having so much fun doing it. People might be surprised to hear this, but for John and myself, it was another match until it was over. Afterward, we were able to reflect on its significance. In the moment, we were doing what we do to entertain people.”

Styles also gave his thoughts about the special ring introduction Cena had written for him for their match.

“It definitely caught me off guard. When I heard ‘The definition of Total Nonstop Action,’ I thought to myself, ‘Wait a minute.’ He took this from just being about John to making it about John and AJ Styles. It’s something he didn’t have to do, but that’s John. That’s just who he is.”
