After Raw ended, Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose continued their segment. After burying the crowd, Jericho demanded an apology for Ambrose destroying his jacket, and ended up eating a Dirty Deeds DDT to end the taping. Sounds like a lot of fun.

The upcoming Andre the Giant biopic will be based on the official graphic novel biography published last year. I'm glad his story's being told.

WWE will tape the Cruiserweight Classic the week of June 20 in Orlando. They've trademarked the name of the tournament as well as the initials CWC, so hopefully this is a yearly thing.

Although Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, Mark Henry, Big Show, and Kane worked live events this past weekend, they weren't brought to this week's TV tapings. This could be part of the idea to feature new faces in their places. It's probably a good idea to give them some time off from TV so it's fresh when they come back.

Epico and Primo will be known as the Shining Stars, and will return to action on Raw. We'll see how long they last before descending into jobberdom.

Musician Collie Buddz ran into Neville, who's featuring a new look. It's entirely possible he goes back to what he looked like last time we saw him on TV when he recovers.

Jushin Liger may or may not compete before the end of the ongoing ROH/NJPW tour. He'll appear for autographs and photos regardless.

War Machine won't be at the next TV taping due to an angle at the most recent TV taping. Unfortunately, Bullet Club will be.

Announced for ROH's upcoming TV taping:
- Jay Lethal vs. Donovan Dijak
- Tetsuya Naito vs. Moose
- The Elite vs. Tanahashi/Elgin/Tatsu
- KUSHIDA vs. Kyle O'Reilly
- Tomohiro Ishii vs. Will Ferrara
-- Some of those match-ups sound pretty good.

ECW's Chris Hamrick is using GoFundMe to assist with his medical bills. Best of luck to him with that endeavor.

The (in)famous Muhammad Ali/Antonio Inoki bout is the subject of a book to release next month. It's being billed as a fight inspiring MMA and launching sports entertainment. That could be really interesting.

Raw's audience Monday was 3.24 million viewers. Fans have been somewhat tepid to WWE TV since WM32. Top names (Taker, Brock, HHH, Cena, Orton, Rollins, Bray, Harper, Show, Kane) have been absent, and it takes time to build up new stars for the new era.

WWE has signed Triple H to a new three-year deal as an on-screen talent, going through Wrestlemania 35. The deal then continues annually under the same terms until one side or the other informs the other they no longer wish to continue the agreement. So, we're going to see HHH on TV (likely at least occasionally wrestling) for a LONG time. As other older names retire and move on, he's expected to stay around. Honestly, that makes sense if he's going to be the next Mr. McMahon. Even if that wasn't the case, he's younger than Undertaker and Kane, and they're still going.

Rosa Mendes told WWE.com about being a mother. If she does remain under contract to WWE, she could just end up working for WWE.com for the near future. That's what she was doing last.

Bray Wyatt is expected to miss at least a few more weeks of in-ring action. I look forward to seeing what the Family does when they come back together.

WWE has put all their Ryback merchandise on sale as his contract winds down. His current deal expires in late July or early August. It's entirely possible he re-signs; there's plenty of time for them to come to terms. WWE's just preparing in case he does split. They don't want another Punk situation where they have a lot of unsold merchandise and they're on less-than-friendly terms with a departed talent.

WWE has released Steve Lombardi, best known as the Brooklyn Brawler, after decades of work with the company. Beyond his many wrestling roles, he has moved up the ladder in his backstage position to being "THE guy" grading promos for people trying out for the company. In a lot of ways, this is the end of an era for WWE, as he was around before WrestleMania 1. I would assume this is part of a changing of the guard to a new era and new philosophy for 2016.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Not a lot of people know about GFW. While it has about the same level of awareness as LU, it's far below TNA, ROH, and NXT. So, it'd be a big risk for a company to take a chance on their product given that lack of built-in audience.

2. I think she was probably on the chopping block anyway. I would imagine she was still on a main roster level contract for occasionally working live events and NXT. As far as cuts go, she was likely not a difficult choice regardless of the Ryback tweets.

3. I'd definitely like to see him in TNA, but I could see the argument it's a better move to work ROH/New Japan. I just hope they wouldn't make him as bland as most of the rest of the workers there. He's a really good talker. So was Lethal before ROH.

4. Blame those American pigs. Once he brings the U.S. Title back to glorious Russia, his accent will make a comeback.

5. I would watch the hell out of Vince vs. Taker at WM33 if it has all the sports entertainment bells and whistles of those characters (special effects and corporate run-ins included), but I don't think they need to sabotage the Rumble in order to do it. Just play off the "Undertaker is Vince's bitch" thing from this year.

More wrestling tomorrow.
