And then... WE'VE GOT A TON OF NEWS on Vince McMahon's latest hush money payment as part of his settlement with Rita Chatterton... Nick Khan's interview with Bill Simmons talking Vince's return, throwing shade at Tony Khan and one jaw-dropping comment that I could not believe... the major segment CANCELED for Raw XXX this Monday, what it's being replaced with and what it means for the status of The Rock at Wrestlemania...
