FANDANGO INJURY UPDATE, ROCK AS JOHN HENRY TEASER, TRIPLE H ON UK PPV SPECIALS AND MORE NEWS

Fandango posted the following injury update:

The Rock posted the following teaser for the newly announced Netflix original film, "John Henry And The Statesmen"

"JOHN HENRY - Awesome response (and highly curious because the majority of you commented that you don’t know who John is) to my announcement of our ground breaking partnership with NETFLIX to bring the legend of JOHN HENRY to life.  JOHN HENRY is an African American folklore legend who I grew up with. I’m proud to take on the role and equally excited to introduce JOHN HENRY’S story to homes & families all around the world.  John was one bad dude.  My kinda man who made decisions based on his gut and instinct.   The thing that I loved as a kid and I appreciate more as a man — is that John also had basic core values that speak directly to my DNA.  In today’s cynical, divisive, noisy times — JOHN HENRY’S values, strength, morals and heart, all matter today more than ever.  Families all around the world are gonna love John Henry’s story.  I’m grateful to be the one to tell it.  And to quote my @netflix partners — Daddy’s gotta go to work."

Nikki Bella will be on Friday's edition of "Access Live."

Triple H commented on why WWE doesn't run a major event in the UK to the Express in which he said, “As far as the ability to have larger Pay-Per-Views and larger events, yeah. I think you see that happening now. I just came back from Australia, 70,000 people in the stadium. I think those things become clearer and clearer as we’re experimenting with other things.  The time zones are the big kicker. We have to go where the most people can watch. I always hear about Wembley, I always hear it was such a massive success. It was not. I will just say that from a business standpoint, it was not. That’s why we didn’t come back and that’s why we’re still trying to figure it out.  So when the time is right, absolutely.”

Paige's mother, Saraya Knight is on the latest "Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia" podcast talking about her life as a woman in the wrestling industry.
