Damian Priest: (Gunther/I) aren't main guys, not Seth, Punk, Drew, Roman. Not AJ, Randy, Finn. Gunther and me in this high-profile world title match, that’s big. So many in the locker room were like, ‘One of us made it.’ That was my favorite part, hearing my peers talk about what it meant to them.”

Rhea Ripley: Lucky for me, (husband) Buddy Matthews is in the business, so he understands my schedule, storylines. He gets it, like with Aalyah Mysterio. He knows I love him, I feel safe with him. Nothing will change that. With Dirty Dom, we have fun. (Buddy/Dom) get along, which is always a plus.

Jade Cargill: Working w/Bianca is an honor + pleasure, to mesh ideas, figure out what works, advice on hard days. I also have Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Ricky Starks - People I can go to + unload. They’re giving the best advice. This entire industry has been supportive of my career + I'm very thankful.

Trish Stratus: “Cody isn’t the only one with an unfinished story. I loved being back as a special guest in Toronto at Money in the Bank. If I can still go, I’ll keep going. I’ll never half-ass it. If fans are interested + it can influence another generation, then we'll see."

Nigel McGuinness: I learned a lot working under Michael Cole. We have much more free rein in AEW. I can really be myself. . I’ve got more matches in me. With so much talent in AEW, it’s not my time, unless there’s a chance to prove I’m better than Bryan Danielson, prove what he got in life was luck.

Gunther: Goal is to be the best I can be. It’s a never-ending journey to learn about yourself, get better. No one can do me better than me. I used to be bigger. Hardcore fans say that was better, like Vader, Stan Hansen. The presentation + physique I have now catches the eye more than I did before.

Cody Rhodes: “(As) champ, everything I do has a direct effect on WWE. That’s a scary concept. Everything, even what I eat, impacts WWE. Before, I'd be more focused on how something impacts me, but now I’m looking at it from all angles. I’ve been neurotic about it, but it's a real positive."

Dustin Rhodes on the Von Erichs and Ring of Honor: I will continue to treat ROH and it's talent with respect and "Honor ", as we traverse through whatever lands our way next. These titles mean a lot to me and the boys and I will not let you down. ...

Bron Breakker: "SummerSlam is a huge turning point. If I can go out there, do it right, it’ll set the bar for what I can be in the future. It’s the biggest opportunity of my career. Am I going to be a main-event player or just another guy? I’m challenging myself to give that answer this weekend."

Rhea Ripley: "Expect brutality. That’s because Mami’s back. (Liv Morgan and I) have come a long way since tagging together. That doesn’t mean I won’t destroy her at SummerSlam. We’re going to get in that ring and I’m going to brutalize her. Whether she can do the same to me, we’ll see."
