10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 8)

10. Stephanie McMahon Apologised For "Needing A Blueberry Muffin"

Jason Allen worked as a writer's assistant on Raw for just six months in 2008. In that short time frame, he told the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling podcast that Dusty Rhodes ribbed him for forgetting to shake his hand and JBL took a picture of Allen on his phone because he'd be "gone next month".

Both of those stories pale in comparison to his first run in with a pregnant Stephanie McMahon.

Alert to the fact he'd been interviewed when Steph was going back and forth on maternity leave, the writer approached her with a smile and introduced himself. Without hesitating, McMahon smiled back. Then, she assured Allen she wasn't a diva and asked if he'd go fetch her a blueberry muffin.

Seriously, that was one of the guy's first tasks as a WWE writing assistant: head to the donut shop and buy the boss's daughter a blueberry treat. Allen said Stephanie apologised profusely for that, but she was so heavily pregnant she could hardly walk.
