The banner hanging in MSG for Hulk Hogan Appreciation Night wasn't there at the following night's Knicks game. Interesting! I wonder what that indicates.
Update: WWE confirmed the banner was just part of that show. They should have a Bruno banner at MSG.
Chris Jericho's deal to work live events for WWE is believed to have expired. I'm a little surprised he never appeared on TV/PPV, but this way it will mean more when he does!
Here are details on an upcoming WWE charity. Those are some pretty amazing perks!
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
In what should be no surprise following Raw, AJ Lee and Paige are
expected to take on the Bella Twins at WM31. It was smart to have her
return in NJ. This is better than a clustermess 12-Diva tag or whatever.
Here's a press release for Jon Stewart appearing on Raw. I wonder how far back this was planned. It was genius, either way.
Wiz Khalifa will be on Raw next week. Presumably he'll get in a fight with Seth Rollins, too?
A card set for Poland after WM31 has:
- Roman Reigns vs. Big Show
- Dolph Ziggler vs. Bad News Barrett
- The Usos vs. Los Matadores vs. The Miz/Damien Mizdow vs. Tyson Kidd/Cesaro
I suspect those are the current post-Mania feud plans. That main event feud sounds terrible!
A special WrestleMania magazine confirmed Kevin Nash going into the WWE Hall of Fame. That's a great pick since they don't want a deceased performer headlining, even as much of a legend as he was.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Most people know him as Rikishi. It's the WWE Hall of Fame, so they're going to induct his WWE character.
2. I think they should do at least one rematch in NXT, but leave things open for them to meet again on the main roster once they think both men are ready for a bigger stage. I wouldn't rush Owens to the main roster just to feud with Zayn again. There will be plenty of time for WWE Creative to make Funkasaurus 2.0 vs. Muhammad the Luchadore a feud on Main Event and Superstars once Owens "graduates" his training/retooling in NXT.
3. Someone's a pessimist! How about this: Bray wins a Buried Alive match only for Taker to appear back outside the grave and chokeslam him in. Then we finish with Taker beating Sting at WM32. They could even have Bray lose a hard-fought match if the followup is good. Maybe he sets out to retire Kane instead? Or recruits some new followers?
4. WWE commentary has been pretty consistently terrible on the A-shows for years now, but apparently the higher-ups like what they do.
5. I think Bull's OK. Personally I want to see him and Corbin team to go for the tag team titles. It's obvious they both need experience working longer matches. As a team, they could complement each other and give each other breaks. The story could be they've earned the other's respect.
More wrestling tomorrow.
