Jey Uso Comments on Reuniting with Sami Zayn in OG Bloodline

A recent episode of the Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg podcast featured Jey Uso as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Uso’s thoughts about him recently reuniting with Sami Zayn in the OG Bloodline.

“So happy. This past Friday, it was cool all of us being in the room together. Even back working together behind the scenes. Backstage, being with Roman and Sami, ping ponging off each other. It felt like old times. Sami is one of my favorite guys to work with and one of my favorite workers. If you pay attention to Sami Zayn, the boy has skills. He’s an actor. He can work. He’s good and safe in the ring. I’m very glad he’s on my team right now.”

Triple H Comments on Netflix’s Streaming Issues for Tyson vs. Paul Boxing Event

A recent episode of the Greg & The Morning Buzz radio show featured WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Levesque’s thoughts about the huge live audience the recent Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing event generated on Netflix.

“You mentioned Netflix, like, that’s a game-changer. That Tyson fight this past week did 60-something million viewers live. What people don’t get — that’s households. Multiply that times three on average, that’s the amount of people that were watching.”

Levesque also gave his thoughts about Netflix’s streaming issues for the boxing event and if it made him be concerned for WWE’s upcoming RAW premiere show on the service.

“Look, I don’t want to flex about it, but it was buffering on my end because I was on a plane watching it. So the buffering was expected on my side. We were flying back from TV watching the fight and the signal was a little wonky. And I thought, ‘Well, we’re 40,000 feet in the air, it should be.’ But then sort of seeing it online of everybody saying it was buffering. Look, you start putting 60 million households all at once on a streaming service. Put it this way, if our first night buffers and they come and say it was 60-70 million households watching, I’ll be okay with the buffering.”
