- As noted, WWE and Boys & Girls Clubs of America this week announced a multi-year, national partnership. The alliance will focus on bullying prevention efforts and "to encourage young people to treat each other with respect through education and grassroots initiatives." Brian Fritz interviewed Kofi Kingston for Sporting News to discuss the new partnership.

"Being a WWE superstar, it's funny because when people see you on TV ? especially kids, children ? they think your word is gospel," said Kingston. "What they don't know is you were a kid just like them at some point. We take it very seriously, our responsibility to use our celebrity to influence people positively."

- The Tampa Tribune has an interview with Big E here. During the interview, he discussed being quiet as a child and the formation of the New Day.

"We were in lulls," Big E said of the unit, before they were put together. "We were stale. So we got together behind the scenes and came up with ideas for what we could do as a team. We'd pitch our ideas backstage until we were finally able to come out together."
