WWEShop.com has added new merchandise for Becky Lynch, Enzo and Cassady, in support of NXT Takeover: Unstoppable. By the way, if you haven’t watched it yet, check out Unstoppable. It was another great NXT event and Lynch vs. Sasha Banks tore down the house. It should serve as another example of why WWE needs to change they way that they approach women’s wrestling.

Paul Jordan reporting. … WWE.com has an interview with Ronda Rousey talking about her memoir “My Fight / Your Fight,” out now in which the UFC fighter discusses her life as a wrestling fan, being influenced by Roddy Piper and "Judo" Gene LeBell and her Wrestlemania debut alongside The Rock. When asked when she will return to a WWE ring she said the following: “You know, I was backstage and I got to talk several wrestling legends, so many. It's such an over-stimulating day that I forgot who told me this, but he said, ‘You never really retire from wrestling; you can't. You just step away for awhile.’ Life is pulling me in a bunch of different directions and I'm forced to step away for awhile. But there's no way, after getting a taste like that, I could never go back in for seconds.” You can check out the full interview by clicking here.
