During the interview, Linda discussed helping women in the workplace, issues affecting voters in Connecticut and the 2016 Presidential race, calling Ted Cruz and John Kasich coordinating their efforts to deny Donald Trump the Republican nomination a “collusion.” Linda also talked about WWE dropping the terms Divas, saying that by dropping the term, it shows that women wrestlers are equal to their male counterparts and thatStephanie McMahon was behind that effort. She also discussed Chyna’s passing, calling it a “loss” and saying that she’ll be missed.

“It’s always a loss when you’ve had someone that’s come up in the ranks like Joanie [Laurer],” Linda said. “She was kind of in the forefront of the women’s power position in WWE, so she’ll be missed.”

CBS Los Angeles reports that the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office has deferred a ruling on Joan “Chyna” Laurer’s death pending an additional investigation into what happened.

As noted, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion was found dead at the age of 46 in her Redondo Beach apartment last Wednesday night.

There were no signs of foul play inside the apartment but it was previously reported that her death was being looked at as a possible overdose. Her manager and best friend Anthony Anzaldo, who found her after she went several days without answering her phone, said he found Chyna in bed with two prescription bottles in the same room — one for Ambien, one for an anti-anxiety medication similar to Xanax. He also said there was nothing illegal as she was prescribed those medications and there was no alcohol, no blood, no vomit or any other signs of an overdose.

Dana White Says Conor McGregor Isn’t Back On UFC 200

A little earlier we mentioned that UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor posted on Twitter that he’s back on the UFC 200 card. 

UFC President Dana white says that it’s not true:

“It’s not true. We haven’t talked to Conor or his manager since the press conference. I don’t know why he would tweet that,” White told TMZ on Monday.

White is adamant that the UFC and McGregor are not pulling a publicity stunt in order to gain attention for the landmark UFC 200 event.

“All the media keeps asking me that. I feel like the scene in ‘Step Brothers’ when they ask if they can build the bunk beds. I don’t know how many more times I can say the fight is off or how many more press conferences I can have saying the fight is off for people to believe it’s off,” said White.

UFC is hoping for a Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier rematch for the UFC 200 main event, although the health of both fighters will determine if that happens.

Matanza Cueto Sliced Vein During Match, Multiple Stitches Required

Matanza Cueto required multiple stitches following his match Saturday night in Boyle Heights … and it’s all because he sliced a vein while punching a window.

Sources in attendance at the Lucha Underground taping report that Jeff Cobb — the man behind the Matanza mask — punched a window during a hardcore match and began to bleed heavily.

The match was cut short after his injury quickly became apparent and Cobb was taken to a nearby hospital for stitches. Rey Mysterio and Dragon Azteca filled the extra time by running to the ring and beating up PJ Black and Johnny Mundo while backstage officials handled the situation.

Sources report that  Matanza can’t get back in the ring until the stitches come out and he’s been forced to cancel bookings next week. However, he should be good to go by the next LU taping.

Conor McGregor Says He’s Back On UFC 200
