After Raw, the team of John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Batista beat the Wyatt Family by DQ when the Wyatts interrupted a Batista Bomb. I'm glad Bryan got to share the spotlight there. They could have easily had Cena and Batista win clean 3 on 2.

TNA will run their Sacrifice PPV on 4/27. It will be interesting to see who's TNA Champion by that time.

UFC names Stephan Bonnar, Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duk attended Raw but were purposely not shown on camera. You'd think if WWE didn't consider UFC competition, it'd be fine to show them.

Lucha star Cassandro El Exotico and former NJPW president Simon Inoki were also at Raw. WWE's a popular event!

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Seth Rollins heeled the crowd at Raw for chanting C.M. Punk, saying "C.M. Who?" before putting over Dean Ambrose during his match with Mark Henry. Pretty funny.

Update: JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler mocked the C.M. Punk chants as well in unaired footage WWE has taken down from YouTube. Yeah, Vince is really out of touch these days in a lot of ways. There's definitely still an audience for Orton, Batista, Cena, HHH, etc. but there's an emerging audience who wants to see something new and different.

Lita talked about her upcoming Hall of Fame induction. Congrats to her! Lita vs. AJ at WM30 please?

A student in the UK was isolated for having the letters "TNA" cut into his hair in relation to their recent tour there. So that happened. I can understand the whole "disrupting school" argument, honestly. Either way, that's a pretty crazy story.

Big Show appeared on ESPN LA. One reason Show's lasted so long is because WWE likes to use him for appearances like this.

Betty White's Raw appearance was covered by TMZ, which is what WWE was hoping for.

Update: Fox News also covered it. I wonder how Glenn Beck feels about them covering WWE?

WIlliam Regal talked about wrestlers in ridiculous costumes. Goldust's costume is very appropriate for the movie-obsessed character.

Goldust talked about the Ultimate Warrior and more. Another tease for a second Backlot Brawl. Summerslam would be the perfect place.

Shawn Michaels talked on WWE's new WrestleMania podcast. It's cool WWE's jumping on that bandwagon.

Jim Ross wrote a piece on Ernie Ladd, a truly groundbreaking performer. It's always cool to hear about those bygone days.

Big E Langston talked ahead of a live event. Nothing really out of the ordinary.

Terry Funk expects C.M. Punk back by WrestleMania. I'm not so sure, but Funk's logic makes sense.

Christian got a black eye during the most recent live event loop. It's like something's always keeping him from being a top guy.

NXT superstar Adam Rose (formerly Leo Kruger) is having a farcical Twitter feud with the actor of the same name. That's really funny. Good on Rose the wrestler for capitalizing on it.

Booker T. talked during Black History Month. Great advice from Baker. I love how Booker didn't just want to be a great black wrestler, but a great wrestler in general.

R-Truth talked about doing a song with Wiz Khalifa. That'd be great if WWE allowed it.

Mickie James was interviewed. She can face AJ at WM31 after Lita this year.

TNA has plans to bring back Kenny King soon. I'd like to see it. I've liked his work so far. He's been under contract this whole time.

Raw's audience from Monday was 4.33 million. Not a bad number at all.

WWE has renamed Antonio Cesaro to simply "Cesaro". Big E Langston is now just "Big E". That's pretty much what they're called anyway. I hope both men have big futures.

Emma has been officially added to the WWE roster, so presumably we'll see her in action soon. Oddly enough, Alexander Rusev hasn't been moved over yet. I look forward to seeing both.

Here's Daniel Bryan's appearance on the NFL Network. He looks like a completely different superstar from his NXT rookie days.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I don't know if WWE would be willing to shell out cash for 20-year-old international PPVs if they don't already own them, so I wouldn't get my hopes up in seeing them on the network.

2. The ROH Championship is going to headline WM31. Just kidding. I doubt we'll see anything of that magnitude. WWE might be willing to nod to other promotions they don't see as competition now, but I still think they'd rather try to sign the talents they want from there than push the promotion as a whole.

3. I'm starting to think traditional PPVs are something of a dying art given how much free content is available now. They're still very profitable, and WrestleMania is a very obvious exception, but in general the landscape is very different from their heyday.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. It'd be madness to release everything on Day 1. Too many choices in too short of a timeframe.

More wrestling tomorrow.
