WWE management was very happy with the way RAW went last week and the way the Triple H - Shawn Michaels feud got over. They wanted the feud to be the one thing that every single viewer remembered once the show went off the air. The feeling was that the show was not at the level as it had been in the previous weeks during the heavy sweeps period, but it definately accomplished what they set out to do. Expect the feud to get even deeper tonight on RAW.

Speaking of Shawn Michaels, it is expected that he will be taking some time off following the Bad Blood PPV as his wife is about to give birth to their second child.

Booker T continues to let it be known that he is very frustrated with the way his current push is working out on Smackdown, and the feeling is that he will be retiring "sooner than later."
