> DANA WARRIOR DESCRIBES DSOTR EPISODE AS "SMUT AND FILTH"
- Both A&E and Vice have competing Ultimate Warrior documentaries, one of which was sanctioned by WWE while the other one was not. The A&E Network Warrior doc was part of the Biography series which is currently airing as part of a three-hour WWE block along with WWE Most Wanted Treasures and aired yesterday. Over at Vice, the Warrior episode is the fourth of season three of Dark Side of the Ring, a production which has no input from WWE and no under-contract WWE Superstars appear on it, and airs later this week on May 27. On Instagram, Warrior's wife Dana was asked if she was aware of the Dark Side of the Ring project. "I had no part in this project," Dana replied. "Smut and filth does not rise to my note." Warrior's ex-wife Shari Tyree was involved in the Vice production of the Warrior documentary, and those docs often focus more on the darker side, hence the name. After severing his relationship with WWE, Warrior came back and formed a close relationship with Vince McMahon and after he passed away, WWE went to great lengths to take care of Dana and her two daughters.

> F9 MOVIE WITH JOHN CENA OFF TO A GOOD START
- While the latest movie in The Fast & The Furious franchise F9 still has until June 25 to open in the United States, the movie has opened in a handful of foreign markets and did $162.4 million last week. F9, featuring the debut of WWE's John Cena in the franchise, has opened in China, South Korea, Russia, Hong Kong, and the Middle East, with China registering $135.6 million on its own according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. F9‘s ticket sales were as strong as before the pandemic and this was Universal's best opening in China behind the last Fast film and the biggest in the pandemic-era for a Hollywood movie. Cena described his character in F9 as the franchise's greatest villain ever, with the former 16-time champion playing the role of Jacob, a master thief, assassin, and high-performance driver, who also happens to be the brother of Vin Diesel’s character Dom.
