Yep, losing non-title matches is the lazy way to make contenders. Harper and Dolph lost all the time as champion too. Surprised Sin Cara isn't in the mix either he beat Bad News as soon as he got the belt.

Sheets:

Monday's WWE Raw scored a 2.85 rating, up from the 2.82 rating the show drew last. Raw averaged 3.858 million viewers, up from the 3.825 million average from last week.
For comparisons, same time last year was a 3.09 for ratings and around half a million more people watching. Read somewhere else a while ago that the last time RAW failed to hit a 3 or average that in ratings during a Mania season was around 1997.

Thanks to Dev Simar for sending word that The Tribune News Service in Punjab, India has an article in today's newspaper about former WWE Superstar The Great Khali. The article notes that Khali has been recovering from surgery on his right leg. Khali was in Chandigarh this week to meet with the Punjab Armed Police officials of the 82nd battalion.

Khali encouraged young police recruits to get into sports and live a healthy lifestyle. He also invited them to join his wrestling academy in Jalandhar, where they will offer free training to recruits. He's also opening another school in the Amin village near Kurukshetra along with international volleyball star Balwan Singh and noted that WWE has asked him to refer three talents per year from his academies.

Khali also promised to people in attendance that he will return to WWE's WrestleMania and one day defeat The Undertaker. Khali told people at the event that he is healthy enough to get back in a WWE ring and will do so.

WWE sent out a "WWE Fan Council" survey about NXT to select members of their mailing list. From the nature of the questions, it seems like they're trying to gauge interest in NXT running shows outside of Florida with questions ranging from the best ticket prices to whether or not fans would travel, how much NXT merchandise the NXT fans are willing to buy (both online and at shows), which indies they follow (if any), and what non-WWE wrestlers they'd like to see in NXT, with a focus on international talent. This should ramp up all of the talk from the last week about whether or not NXT is even a developmental promotion anymore.

It’s possible that some of the writers in WWE believe that The Black Scorpion was one of Sting’s early gimmicks, as most of the WWE writers aren’t exactly wrestling historians. Furthermore, WWE is afraid to have Sting talk in front of the live audience because they believe that his promo skills are as bad as they were when he first burst onto the scene in WCW. However, if you followed Sting’s run in TNA over the last several years, you know that he’s not only become a great promo, but that he’s probably a better promo than the majority of the WWE roster.

The Sting thing was completely mind-boggling. It was supposed to be ‘The Black Scorpion’ Sting, from 1990 — 25 years ago. I asked people in the company, and that’s what it was supposed to be. I asked ‘what is this?’ and they said ‘The Black Scorpion Sting,’ and I said ‘The Black Scorpion was Sting’s rival, Sting was never The Black Scorpion

WWE has filed a trademark for the “Kliq” hand gesture, which has been used by Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and X-Pac over the years.

It’s also used by The Bullet Club, which could present some problems in the future. The Young Bucks are currently selling t-shirts here which include the gesture.
For some reference, Scott Hall gave permission for BC to use the gesture and act as an nWo-like stable when Karl Anderson asked for official approval.

Some other sheet news include:

JR clarifying his stance on the Demott controversy stressing more on how he's completely against the abuse that occurred while trying to make a better comparison about generational differences.
http://www.jrsbarbq.com/blog/demott-fallout-updated-ringside-w-jim-ross-show-ticket-update-social-media-insanity-realmelina.
Was mentioned in the RAW thread but Wiz Khalifa confirmed he was high during the show last night.
For the past couple of months, AV Club has been doing an experiment of reviewing RAWs from the perspective of a sitcom reviewer and weren't joking about not having enough enthusiasm to continue past Mania. Yesterday's show got rated the worst and blasted the WWE for all the implied racist stuff that went on last night. Still has Cena as the worst character written on the show overall.

From Reddit about what the mysterious talent-only meeting the WWE had last night was about.

Just listened to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio. According to Dave the gist of the meeting was to tell the talent that if they had a problem (as in the problems that were had with Bill Demott) to come to management and let them know first. Bryan Alvarez remarked sarcastically that in the past "it did wonders for a lot of people." Dave also talks about how even though Demott is gone, racism and prejudice will still be part of the business because that's the mentality of those in charge.

I'm not trying to bitch for the sake of bitching, but I really can't see this WrestleMania going well. All the performances will be "solid," but the emotional storytelling just isn't there. No one really feels like they are in the right place either. It's all really odd. Gusy are either too low or too high on the card. The thing I am most interested in is the crowd reaction.

So, question for all y'all out there that don't have cable/satellite. I'm was thinking about getting Hulu or some other service like it, but I was curious if they actually show RAW and Smackdown on those kinds of things. Anyone know?

RAW gets cut to 90 minutes, but feels better. Some good stuff can be cut though. The whole Wizdow segment and subsequent performance was cut in addition to the diva stuff this week.

It’s possible that some of the writers in WWE believe that The Black Scorpion was one of Sting’s early gimmicks, as most of the WWE writers aren’t exactly wrestling historians.

They bring The Ascension up, bury them on commentary, have some old-timers get one over on them, beat the NAO at the Rumble, have PTP get back together and hand The Ascension their first loss...then establish a Tag Team Title match to feature Los Matadores and New Day, whilst PTP (and presumably The Ascension) go into the Battle Royal!?

Dirtsheets:

As noted earlier, after tonight's RAW went off the air Seth Rollins was put into a neck brace and taken out on a stretcher. WrestlingINC.com correspondent Eric Z noted that the show didn't end there. The whole process of the doctors checking on Rollins and taking him to the back took a while and the crowd started to leave. However, John Cena's music hit and he came out and challenged Bray Wyatt to a match. Bray came out but didn't want to get in the ring. Cena started to sing, "he's got no pearls, in his pants" until Wyatt attacked. After a short standard match, Cena won with an AA after kicking out of Sister Abigail

E! Online has a deleted scene from last Sunday's episode of Total Divas at this link. In the clip, Paige tells The Bella Twins, Natalya and Emma that she finally has a boyfriend and is dating Bradley Walden. Walden is the lead singer of American post-hardcore band Emarosa. "Me and Bradley are now—yeah," Paige told the camera. "Bradley's kind of like—I can't say it yet. He is, um, my boyfriend." It appears as if Paige's relationship with Walden may only be storyline. Walden joked on Twitter that "everything on TV is 1000% real," and recently posted the photos below on Instagram with a woman who appears to be his real girlfriend: https://instagram.com/p/yoZS1Nva0X/ https://instagram.com/p/zGekLkva_G/ https://instagram.com/p/zlubksPa27/

Regarding "The Man Comes Around" and The Undertaker's message to Bray Wyatt on last night's RAW, that is the name of a Johnny Cash song. It appears Taker could be using another Cash song as his entrance at WrestleMania this year

Regarding Sting's promo on last night's WWE RAW, it was his voice used but it was altered. The promo was inspired by The Black Scorpion, a WCW gimmick from 1990. The character was played by several wrestlers and feuded with Sting, before being revealed to be Ric Flair.
Other reports state it was either Ziggler or a combo of both guys.

TNA's John Gaburick announced today that Matt Hardy has signed a contract with the company. Hardy had been working without a deal. Gaburick noted that more signings are coming this week.

Regarding speculation that WWE may have changed plans for The Undertaker and could bring him to RAW now that Bray Wyatt's WrestleMania 31 challenge has been accepted, word coming out of last night's RAW is that those plans have not changed. The plan as of today is to still keep The Undertaker away until his entrance at WrestleMania. Another Superstar we won't see until WrestleMania 31 is Sheamus. WWE has been airing return vignettes for Sheamus for several weeks now but the current plan is to have his first appearance be at WrestleMania. There's still no word yet on what match he will be working but it likely will be the Intercontinental Title Ladder Match or the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

One of the topics discussed at Monday's backstage meeting before RAW was letting all talents know that if they have problems going on, they should come to WWE officials with the issues. No word yet if this ties in with officials planning to discuss the use of Twitter at the meeting.
Shortly after that news came out, another incident related to the Demott scandal came out that basically blasted management and Tommy Dreamer. http://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/2yltl1/from_the_wwe_diva_search_to_hell_on_earth_my/

Excerpt from the new accusations:
When Dave Taylor got there he taught me more in a month than I learned the entire time I was there. Dave Taylor asked me "Why dont you have a match?" I told him"Bill says Im not ready." ....His reply was: " What the hell does Bill mean you arent ready??? You are bloody ready!!!" So again I started asking him for matches and he would say..."Are you sure ?????? If you mess up and they see it It will all be over" When I asked Tommy Dreamer if I could leave and go to OVW because I was being tortured by Bill and his crew, he told me that if I went there then I was increasing my chances of getting fired. Tommy Dreamer himself told me that if I called the office to report Bill that I was increasing my chances of getting fired. Tommy said that Vince would just get rid of me for making any waves what so ever. Ive been trying to scream from the mountaintops from day one, but I didn't know that I was crying to Bill's friend Tommy Dreamer while they were at Bills house, sitting at his dinner table that night. How do I know this??? Bill let me know if front of the class as they laughed... Some people laughed just because they had to. They all knew it was coming that day. Tommy Dreamer had me on speaker phone so!

Some other sheet news include:

According to someone with a lot of time on NeoGAF's wrestling thread, this week's edition of RAW was the 7th lowest rated March episode in Mania season history (5 occurred in 1997 and 1 in 1996).
The whole #GiveDivasAChance initiative managed to last a whole week before the WWE lost interest since the Wiz Khalifa concert got more time than both Divas matches combined on RAW.
According to a recent Jericho podcast, Justin Gabriel was the wrestler who played the Bunny the most during its run while Creative had plans for a Gothic bunny suit had the character lasted longer.

When the Man Comes Around is way too upbeat to use as a taker entrance.

"Ain't No Grave" would be an appropriate theme for him to use this year. I know it's been used for him before but I can't remember if he came out to it at one point or if it was just for a promo video.

Sheets:

TNA's Bob Ryder says the company had meetings this week about running live events again. Ryder noted that live events could resume in June. He tweeted: "Had meetings yesterday about plans to add several non-televised live events starting as soon as June. Stay tuned for details. #TNAonTour"

There has been a lot of talk among the TNA talents about how concerned they are due to the lack of work coming up. PWInsider reports that the feeling is that TNA officials presented the wrestlers with a "best case scenario" when they left Spike TV and signed with Destination America but that isn't how things are turning out. There's also a feeling within TNA that the crew was presented with the idea that things were better and would be getting better after the move to Destination, but things aren't getting better. We're now a few months into the latest major reboot for TNA and the only events the company is running are TV tapings. There is no sign of live events being scheduled any time soon. TNA canceling the April tapings and replacing them with tapings in May really had the wrestlers worried recently as this means the promotion will essentially be "dark" for a few months with no pay being earned for the talents. Talents who have been with TNA for a while are seeing top stars leave with no real growth being made by the company. There's a feeling among some of the wrestlers that they were presented with the "best case scenario" but since that isn't how things have turned out, it might be time for TNA officials to sit down and update them on what's going on and what the future holds.

Going from Spike TV to Destination America, TNA's Impact Wrestling averaged just 400,000 viewers for the month of January 2015. This is down from an average of 1.37 million viewers in January 2014.

Dixie Carter tweeted the following warning for this week's episode of Impact Wrestling: "Viewer discretion: Tomorrow's @IMPACTWRESTLING contains some very graphic images. Production elements were used to help w/ these moments."

Goldust isn’t being added to the Intercontinental Title Match at WrestleMania 31. It appears his feud with Stardust was nixed with the belief that it wasn’t working. Goldust may end up in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

It's expected that former WWE NXT head trainer Bill DeMott received a significant severance package on his way out of the company. WWE is reportedly expecting lawsuits to arise out of the DeMott controversies. They were careful to clearly admit no wrong-doing in their statements. There was a feeling that some WWE employees were aware of the complaints but didn't expect so many people to come forward because usually everyone aims to return to WWE one day as it's their dream. It was also said that while they were under contract to WWE, some of the talents that have been speaking out now were asked about the allegations and at the time, they said the stories were not true.

Rey Mysterio will be adding the "Jr." back to his name in AAA. The "Junior" was dropped back in 2002 when Rey began working for WWE.

Jeff Jarrett has reportedly been unable to secure a paid TV deal for his Global Force Wrestling promotion to air a weekly show.

Sources in the TV industry report that Jarrett has proposed a concept to at least one network, said to be a channel without full national clearance, and probably other networks. However, Jarrett has been unable to secure a deal for this concept also. Jarrett's idea is to do a test-run live special that would feature talents from the indies, AAA and New Japan Pro Wrestling under the GFW banner.

We've noted that Jarrett is expected to make some kind of announcement later this month. PWInsider reported earlier this month that GFW was expected to announce TV tapings for Las Vegas soon. Jarrett has been negotiating with an arena in Las Vegas that would be the home for GFW.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE officials are looking at offering contracts to several ROH talents. The company is waiting for the contracts of those talents to expire so that they can begin talks.

The site notes that the idea behind NXT has changed from training new talents from the bottom to the man roster, to bringing in top names for the NXT brand itself. The plan would be to replace some of the top indie stars who can already work good matches with more indie stars.

On the recent Cheap Heat podcast, they had Chris Hero talk about his NXT experiences, Demott, current WWE, etc.

In the discussion, he briefly mentioned there was a plan to turn Cena heel in 2011 after Mania. He mentioned it as an after thought, but Rosenberg and Masked Man freaked when they heard this and demanded the whole story.

How far along the plan or idea was, it wasn't discussed. But it was far enough or even relevant enough for Cena to put a $5,000 deposit down with a woman who makes wrestling gear. As in, no more jean shorts and sneakers. The deposit was for actual wrestling boots, trunks, etc to change everything about his in-ring style for the heel turn.

At some point, WWE came to him and said "Sorry, plan changed/idea nixed, you're never turning heel" The point of his "Cena is a good dude story" was that since he couldn't get the $5,000 deposit back, he let developmental use the money to reward guys who they felt were working hard with a $500 week bonus/scholarship or whatever you want to call it for new ring gear.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but this was the first time I've ever heard this, and by Rosenberg and Shoemaker's reaction, it was their first time too. Of course it didn't happen and it probably wasn't close to, but it had to have been discussed enough for Cena to put $5,000 down of his own money for traditional boots and in ring gear. The story blew my mind.

EDIT - I think Hero messed up the date, should be after Mania 2012 because Hero started in early 2012. 44 mins into the podcast the story begins. Says Cena came down to developmental face to face, so he just got the year wrong.
Source is from Reddit. May or may not have also included a Ric Flair-like robe for entrances.

- Former WWE Diva Melina appeared spoke with Jim Ross on The Ross Report this week. The full interview can be heard at this link. Melina discussed her time with WWE, what she's doing now, the WWE Divas locker room and lots more. She also addressed some of the rumors about her that have been around for years and how rumors spread in the wrestling business.Melina talked about how she dated John Morrison, now known as Johnny Mundo in Lucha Underground, on-and-off for 11 years. Regarding rumors that Melina cheated on Morrison with Batista, she said that is not true and those rumors led to her split with Morrison. She talked about how people backstage would pick with her and be mean to her but Batista stuck up for her. This led to people assuming there was more to their friendship. Melina called Batista a great friend, a real life hero and said he was also bullied coming up through WWE.Melina added that 10 years later the rumors still bother her sometimes and are still brought up by people.I read Batista's book where he claimed they were friends then it turned physical. So obviously Melina is lying.

Just had the ultimate fantasy booking scenario

At WM Rollins comes out during the match looking like he wants to cash in, he nails Lesnar with the case and curbstomps him mid match while ref is down. Instead of cash in though, he puts Reigns over Lesnar to get the Pinfall and it's revealed Reigns has just joined the Authority. Fast forward to Raw where Lesnar gets his rematch and all hell breaks loose again, with Lesnar getting Sextuple-teamed by the Authority only to have Ambrose come out looking like he's going to save the day..only to join the Authority...as they also start a beat down on Kane Big Show and J&J.

And then..

HHH, fresh off his loss vs sting comes down to the ring, looking like he's an evil genius mastermind behind it all, gets in the ring only to get beatdown as well.
Out comes..

I think in that time frame they were aiming for full songs with lyrics, based on the various theme refreshes around there, so while this is a pretty awesome song, it probably wasn't going to fit to replace Slow Chermical at the time.

The Briscoes were born about 15 minutes from where I live. Probably that town (Laurel Delaware) claim to fame..it's either that or the largest furniture store east of the Mississippi

This intrigues me as I work for a furniture store and enjoy the Briscoes.

Brutal.

While Reigns was pretty universally loved, he was probably only like a third as over than Bryan as far as initial pops go.

I saw Like Harper try to dance off with R-Truth so that was something.

New Day had some time to talk and did some really entertaining stuff. Shows me the gimmick isn't totqlly dead and they still have a lot of potential if they actually got to do some stuff on TV or weren't totqlly micromanaged.

There was a Twitter poll for the Divas match, after which thu briefly flashed a graphic of th results being 5% / 95% during the announcement. Which was then th same graphic sho d during the actual reveal an hour later. L

Legitimate!

How does it work? I'm curious now.

The video screen and lights/music was a shitshow all afternoon, but when Breeze's theme started up, it initially showed a Safari window on a Mac with a local IP address in the address bar for a video player page. That cut out, then it popped back up again with a page with a video player in it with a few buttons below it which finally started to show the feed from Breeze's phone and then went full screen into the "phone" graphic on his tron.

I imagine the phone and the Mac are on the "WWEWiFi" network I found in the arena, and there's probably some sort of app on the phone that connects to a local webpage, kind of like a internet connected security camera/webcam, that they can pull up on the Mac that they feeding into the screens. They probably don't have their B-Team forgetting to pull it up and set it full screen before pushing it to his tron most of the time.

Some sheet news:

Former Ring of Honor Tag Team Champion Jimmy Jacobs has signed a deal with WWE and he's expected to start with the company in April after WrestleMania 31. However, Jacobs will be working on the creative team and not wrestling.

Jacobs signing with WWE has been in the works for some time now. His last appearance for ROH could be the March 27th Supercard of Honor event in California.

NXT Champion Kevin Owens underwent a partial meniscectomy for a knee injury late last week, WWE.com has learned.

“I’m not the kind of person that lets things like this get in my way,” the NXT Champion told WWE.com following his surgery. “I’m already walking around without crutches and doing physical therapy at the WWE Performance Center.”

For those worried the injury might affect Owens’ highly physical style, he was quick to put any doubts to rest.

“Now that I’m at the level I am now, and with as much at stake as there is, I don’t think it’s going to slow me down. I’m on the way back.”

PWInsider confirmed today that ROH is trying to lock in some of their talents, including The Young Bucks. If ROH does sign The Bucks, it will have a ripple effect on the indies as several promotions depend on The Bucks as headliners. ROH wants to sign The Bucks to a deal where they're paid a full-time salary but are exclusive to ROH and ROH officials have the right to approve or deny any indie dates. ROH likely won't stop The Young Bucks from working for New Japan Pro Wrestling, where they are big stars with The Bullet Club, but this likely will be a problem for the many indies that depend on the brothers.

A thief boosted World Wrestling Entertainment boss Vince McMahon’s Bentley in Connecticut a few months ago — but it was eventually recovered in The Bronx, police sources told The Post.

The wrestling honcho tools around in a charcoal- gray Bentley Continental Coupe valued at $189,900, according to a 2013 Hearst Connecticut Media report.

Police sources said the car had a $100,000 sound system.

I just had a random thought about last year's WrestleMania. So... a lot of Daniel Bryan marks hated the fact that he feuded with Kane in his first feud because it felt "minor" or whatever.

I was thinking, would it have been better if they re-hashed the WrestleMania 10 story of Bret/Owen? Instead of Bryan asking for a match with Triple H in which he gets to be in the title match if he wins, what if he just... asks for a match with Triple H? Triple H wins with via a mercelessly beating him with a sledgehammer while the ref is out cold. Internet goes crazy with "Fuck Triple H" hate. Bryan miraculously comes back and wins the title at the end of the night. All is well. Triple H says he's clearly the only man who can stop this nonsense and we get Triple H vs Bryan at Extreme Rules for the title. I didn't mind the Kane storyline but looking back, I'm thinking that might have been a better story.

The problem with the Kane match is that Kane just got walked over at WrestleMania by The Shield. Like a clear walk-through. I get that they tried to make Demon Kane a big deal right away, but the WWE had spent years making Demon Kane look like a feel-good comedy character.

Kane should have Chokeslammed both of the New Age Outlaws for letting him down at WrestleMania on RAW, and then joined Evolution in the fight against Daniel Bryan & The Shield at Extreme Rules in a WWE-stylized War Games. Hell in a Cell cage, with segmented intervals -- once everybody is in a pinfall or submission ends it. Or you can still keep the Submit or Surrender stip. Whatever. Or they should have had Brock Lesnar go straight into a World Title match against Bryan.

Mr. Nerfect

03-16-2015, 09:46 PM

Jimmy Jacobs has apparently signed a deal with the WWE to work in NXT's creative department. That is pretty great, but I'd love to see him as a on-air character. The idea of seeing him in the front row just watching Seth Rollins matches, or Luke Harper's matches, actually give me tiny little goosebumps, and I didn't even get into The Age of the Fall.

Week before the Week before Mania dirtsheets:

According to a WWE source, auditions were held for an actor to play the role of Rusev’s lawyer on Raw last night. Although it came off as such, the segment was not intended to be a joke, but the actor was so bad, JBL was instructed to bury him on live TV.

You shot back at the crowd last night. Is that something you're comfortable doing or have you been instructed to do that?

That's just an instinct thing. That's not something you learn in a warehouse or people can tell you. If you're a Daniel Bryan fan, I'm all for that. The more people Daniel Bryan will bring into arenas, the better. The more people I bring in, the better. But when I'm talkin', shut the hell up and let me talk.

Raw's ratings went down a bit compared to last week (2.73 vs 2.85) while viewership went up a bit (3.9 million average). Just barely missed out on being the worst rated RAW this year.
According to reports, a bus carrying AAA officials crashed today leaving several injured and one dead (coordinator for the promotion). Continues a string of bad luck for the company with Del Rio being injured before their big event and the event itself being postponed twice because of issues.
WWE hired two more Diva wrestlers with both being from Australia (Jasmin Areebi and KC Cassidy).

Holy shit, they actually signed KC Cassidy? She's actually been a dream signing of mine for a while. She is cute as fuck and was also trained by Lance Storm, apparently. I hope this doesn't threaten Emma's position with the company though.

Never heard of Areebi, but she also has a great look.

In order to surpass CM Punk as the longest reigning champion in 'modern times', Lesnar would have to hold the title through this years Hell In A Cell PPV on October 25th. That night would be 434 days exactly. This year's Hell in a Cell comes from the Staples Center, where Brock's reign started last August

Plus as an added Fuck You bonus, Punks birthday is 10/26

Dirtsheets:

"I asked (Brock Lesnar) what the hardest thing for him to do was; he's a super freak athlete, but something had to be difficult for him. I find it's the exact same thing I'm having difficulty with, and that's learning to let go. Striking, sparring is completely different. Someone's trying to punch me in the face, I'm trying to punch them in the face. But often I'll find I'm too light on guys if I'm rolling, my hips aren't heavy enough, it's like I'm trying to work with them like the old pro wrestling kicking in, and he had the same problem, so it's interesting to know that."
From a recent interview Punk had with MMAFighting.com about trying to unlearn old wrestling habits.

As noted, WWE officials aren't planning on bringing Sheamus back to TV until the WrestleMania 31 pay-per-view, where he's rumored for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Sheamus is also not scheduled for any WWE live events until after WrestleMania so he likely won't be popping up at any of this week's events.

WWE continues to work on plans to take NXT around the country as a full-fledged touring brand. Officials recently contacted former live event executive and ECW Original Lou D'Angeli to see if he would be interested in working for the company again. D'Angeli now works for Cirque du Soliel and was appreciative of the offer but told WWE he's happy with where he's at. There's also been talk of hiring former NWA, ECW and WCCW star Jack Victory to help work with live events. Victory worked with D'Angeli on live event promotion for the original ECW.

As noted earlier, WWE announced at last night's tapings that former Junior Heavyweight Champion Tatsumi Fujinami will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. WWE is still planning on announcing *********** this Monday. PWInsider has confirmed that Fujinami will be inducted by rival Ric Flair.
Censored out the name just in case people don't want to be spoiled before next week. For those that don't care: Kevin Nash and is expected to be the "headliner" of the Hall in terms of speeches.

While Jey Uso's status for WrestleMania 31 won't be known until his shoulder is evaluated by doctors this week, the feeling at RAW was that it's not looking good for The Usos at the biggest show of the year. They still may put Naomi and Jimmy Uso on the show in some kind of role if Jey isn't able to compete.

Michael Cole botching the WrestleMania 31 start times early on WWE RAW was apparently a big deal backstage among Vince McMahon and likely Kevin Dunn. Apparently Vince gave Cole a "hard time" in his headset and it sounded like he told JBL to join in.

With WWE Main Event airing on Hulu Plus while on hiatus from WWE Network's programming schedule, episodes are being uploaded to the WWE Network on a two-week delay. As of late, a two-week-old episode has been added to the vault each Saturday—the Feb. 28 episode was most recently added.

While there are rumors that top Ring of Honor stars The Briscoes could be going to WWE soon, they are locked-in to ROH until mid-summer at least and the feeling going around is that they will not be going to NXT. One talent who is expected to go to WWE before the spring is over is Samoa Joe.

It was noted by WWE NXT talents on Twitter yesterday that the company sold 4,100 tickets in just a few hours for the NXT live event in California during WrestleMania weekend. Apparently the breakdown of tickets sold was between 2,200 and 2,400 sold at Friday's pre-sale and then the rest on Monday. With that said, over 4,000 tickets being sold that fast with nothing but social media advertising is impressive and will likely catch the attention of Vince McMahon

OXSports.com picked up on the group of WWE fans who were dressed like WWE Legends in the front row of Monday's RAW in Des Moines, Iowa. As noted, WWE security took the fans away from their seats a few minutes into the show and had them change their clothes. FOX Sports reached out for comment and a WWE spokesperson said the company apologized to the fans for being inconvenienced and offered them free tickets to an upcoming event. Apparently the group were told that their outfits were "too distracting" for the broadcast, which is rumored to be a Kevin Dunn pet peeve.

After talking to a few people today at the SmackDown tapings word going around is that Brock Lesnar is very close to agreeing on a new contract with the WWE. With the lack of popularity that Roman Reigns has received as of late, Triple H is pushing Vince on the idea of keeping the WWE Championship on Brock.

This would also have huge ramifications with two of the under card matches on the show.
If Brock retains the title it would in all likelihood mean a continued "special attraction schedule" for him. Triple H as of late has been big on the idea that the I.C. Title and the U.S. Title should mean something again. The plan, if Brock retains is to put the U.S. Title on John Cena and the I.C. Title on Daniel Bryan. The theory would be that two legit Superstars would bring legitimacy to both titles. Also, while Brock is gone both men can main event Raw, Smackdown, PPVs and house shows with those titles on top of the card. Which again, would bring back the legitimacy of both belts.

A lot can change between now and WrestleMania. But this is just one of the many ideas that are being discussed. I have not been told of any other ideas, but if I hear more, I will be sure to pass the information along to this great community.
