Moments before her return on WWE RAW last night, Sasha Banks posted the following quote from Kendrick Lamar’s “Mortal Man” on Twitter:

She has since posted the following quote from Charles Frazier’s Nightwoods along with her new (and perfectly-timed) shirt on WWEShop, as well as a fantastic dig at her new target, Becky Lynch. Sasha quoted Becky’s recent interview about nobody stepping up to her with a clip of “Buckwild” and “New York” from the pinnacle of reality television dating shows—VH1’s Flavor Of Love and Charm School.

If she had not been alone, she would never have seen the panther or felt the hope it spread into the world like rings around the splash of a rock thrown into a still lake. @WWEShop pic.twitter.com/RwzK43vtVI

Matt Hardy recalls his knockout moment with MVP and Evander Holyfield on the August 18, 2002 episode of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event special. Hardy faced off with Holyfield in an exhibition boxing match on the penultimate episode of SMNE. The match was taped on August 13 and went to a no contest after Holyfield ended up knocking out MVP.
Was just made aware that this happened 12 years ago today in @TheGarden.
Thank you for choosing to knock out @The305MVP instead of me, @holyfield! pic.twitter.com/zCHRV5W9XE

Jerry Lawler had his own brush with Canadian royalty this weekend, as he shared a plane with Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, who now star on Schitt’s Creek.
I must admit I was fanboying yesterday morning flying to Toronto. Sitting across from me were two of my favorite actors, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara! The Dad from American Pie movies and the Mom from Home Alone! How cool! pic.twitter.com/OGPs2q7iSY
