It has been debated back-and-forth and as of Monday night, they were unsure what option they would go with. I was not told when the match would take place, although Fastlane seems to make the most sense given Seth Rollins already is in a match for WrestleMania.

The lights came up and the show ended without Ric Flair ever coming out. I did hear from people that attended the show that was disappointed, which is a fair criticism given it was promoted for weeks around Flair’s birthday and he should have appeared once in front of the audience and done a quick promo either before, during, or after the show.

Prichard has actually been traveling with WWE and working as a backstage consultant since January of this year, according to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio. It is believed that the deal to advance Prichard in to his current, new role within the company was finalized this past Friday.

Apparently, the idea of bringing Prichard back to the creative team in a full-time position was first mentioned early last week. It was instantly well received and the idea gained enough momentum by the weekend that Prichard will now reportedly be Vince's right-hand man and a "very key guy" to the creative functions in WWE.

Punk's attorneys also alleged that Cabana has "all but abandoned his contention that there was any initial "offer" in December 2014", referring to Punk's text message that he could cover Cabana legally, which Cabana has previously argued amounted to a legal contract that Punk did not live up to.

The word backstage is that WWE has involved a clause in Matt and Jeff Hardy's existing WWE deal, rolling it over for a third year. Had WWE not rolled over the contract, it would have expired next month.

Matt Hardy had been teasing a countdown until the expiration of his WWE deal on social media of late, but it would appear that was simply Hardy's latest attempt to use social media to his advantage by creating a buzz online.

The 33-page amended lawsuit alleges Anthem has Prevented Jarrett and GFE from filing copyrights on the GFW Amped! TV footage with the amended lawsuit noting, "The last remaining step in the registration process is submission of deposit copies, which GFE cannot provide to the Copyright Office due to Defendants’ unlawful possession and/or deletion of the only master recordings of the 16 one-hour GFW Amped videos. Defendants admit that the master recordings were deleted while in their custody and no longer exist. "

Given that she's back on social media, it would appear that she's out of jail.
