WWE RAW Guest Host Was Against Appearance, Darren Young On Being Bullied, Alexa Bliss, Corbin
- Kathie Lee and Hoda discussed their WWE RAW appearance on Today yesterday, which you can watch above. They joked about getting booed, and Hoda said that it was "kind of exhilarating." Lee then said that she was against the appearance from the beginning noting that it "did not smell good," but was talked into it. Lee and Hoda then said that they wrote the segment. Lee later talked about being backstage and said that the wrestlers were "the sweetest gentlest giants" and very polite, a big shift from when she ripped the business and "sleazy" wrestlers in her autobiography.
- As noted earlier, Darren Young, Renee Young, Sin Cara, The Miz and Natalya hosted an anti-bullying rally at The South Bronx Academy yesterday. The New York Daily News has an article about the rally at this link. During the appearance, Young discussed being bullied as a child.
"As a kid, I was bullied for being overweight and having a speech impediment," Young said. "For me, it's about sharing my story and saying, 'Don't give up.' I got the help I needed and now I'm living my dream."
- Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald recently interviewed NXT stars Alexa Bliss and Baron Corbin. You can watch both interviews below.
