WWE

Hilarious craic, this - the panel were earnest in their praise of The Fiend's personalised Universal Championship, but had a good laugh with a p*ss funny Twitter creation from @TheFansPodcast featuring Paige's face from her now-infamous Fighting With My Family promotional video.

The company are so fiercely protective of everything under their vast umbrella that this sort of self-owning remains charming and legitimately refreshing.

If Backstage can be the vehicle for this sort of discussion, long may it stand as the spiritual successor to the similarly sardonic Talking Smack.
