-- As previously reported, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are reportedly in a “power struggle” with WWE CFO George Barrios and Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer Michelle Wilson. The topic is a hot one in terms of conversation backstage.

-- As noted earlier here on the website, Randy Orton’s deal is now such that he is not working full-time on the road. According to sources, Orton’s deal–which isn’t specified if it is an new deal or a restructuring of his current one–only calls for him to work limited weekend dates.

VIDEO: Kurt Angle Discusses His Struggle With Addiction

Here is Kurt Angle's latest video in his #MyComeback series, talking about his ongoing recovery from addiction. The video features Angle heading to church with his family with the following voiceover:

"This afternoon, I'm going to an AA meeting. I go a couple times a week. It really helps me to stay in recovery from addiction. Going to these meetings not only helps myself, but helps others around me. And, I've grown stronger with my relationship with God, my family, my wife, and my kids. Going to these meetings and staying clean - I know that I'm going to break the cycle so that my kids don't have to go through this when they grow older. So, this is really important to me. Besides God himself, this is my #1 priority. To stay clean, to stay focused on my recovery and stay focused on my comeback."
