Dark Raw segment online, Interviews with Leilani Kai/Rousey/Ivory, Ultimate Deletion notes, Raw name cleared, Raw cameos, Raw live event in the UK, Bryan cleared by WWE (!), Raw audience, AJ injury update, venue gets praise, title match official for WM34, and Questions on Mania going long, splitting Mania across two nights, cruisers missing Raw, Mania's cruiser match, and Shane taking bumps

The Ronda Rousey segment live from Raw was put online. It wasn't a good night for Titus Worldwide.

Madusa discussed the Fabulous Moolah controversy with Leilani Kai on Madusa's podcast. I wouldn't be against the match being called the Alundra Blayze battle royal, although ideally it would honor a star from even further back. Mildred Burke perhaps?

#UltimateDeletion was the top worldwide Twitter trend during that match, as well as in some major cities. It certainly got people talking.

- Reby Hardy filmed and edited quite a bit of Ultimate Deletion, which isn't a big surprise.

- Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt were backstage at Raw. That makes sense, as they were on the road the preceding weekend.

- The match is not on the Hulu version of the show. That's interesting.

- Reby posted a behind-the-scenes video.

Ronda Rousey promoted Wrestlemania on Fox News. Hopefully that gets people outside the WWE bubble interested in seeing her.

Big Cass is reportedly cleared to return to the ring. It's a good time to make a splash as WWE starts their "new year" after Mania.

Raw's U.S. marshals were local wrestlers Kristopher Haiden, Brad Sanders, and Ricky Starks. They were part of a great angle.

Raw is running England on August 29. Asuka is on the ad, but I wouldn't assume that means she'll be on the brand after WM34.

Daniel Bryan has been cleared to wrestle by WWE. WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW. I definitely didn't see that one coming. That could change a lot of things for the wrestling business, as he was widely expected to leave the company this summer. That could still happen, but he could also go back to being an important player on Raw or Smackdown.

- Bryan sought out a number of top doctors to test him in the hopes of getting WWE's decision reversed, in addition to undergoing a number of important treatments. 

- Triple H commented on Bryan's return. I wonder if we'll see those two face off again at some point.

Raw drew 3.33 million viewers this week, almost even with last week. Ultimate Deletion didn't prevent the usual dropoff in the third hour. I'm curious how much more they can get out of the Broken/Woken stuff, as its novelty is definitely wearing off.

AJ Styles is expected to compete at Wrestlemania despite his recent injury. The WWE Championship match with Shinsuke Nakamura is still on.

WWE putting over the Mid-South Coliseum got press in Memphis. The venue's reputation in wrestling is pretty high.

Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax for the Raw Women's Championship is official for Wrestlemania 34. I'm excited to see that.

Ivory discussed going into the WWE Hall of Fame and more.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. WWE wants to give people long, epic events. I personally agree a longer match isn't necessarily a better match, but people kept saying they wanted WWE to focus more on the wrestling side of things, so WWE is giving them plenty of in-ring action on the shows.

2. Neville and Aries were fighting for the championship of a WWE Network only series. Kickoff was the appropriate place for them. But I do like the idea of Mania being a two-day event. One day could be for Smackdown and the other could be for Raw. That way you have an NXT show, a Smackdown show, and a Raw show on consecutive days.

3. It is a good move from the standpoint the cruisers were often just on the show for the sake of putting them on the show. The matches were generally short and meaningless. Raw can do that just fine without the cruiserweights! Unless Drake Maverick is going to do something story-related on Raw to promote the division or someone's cutting a major promo, I don't see any need to use the cruisers there.

4. As was said in 2, the match is for a title that's exclusive to WWE Network. Put it on the Kickoff show to warm the crowd up for the more prominent stuff. I don't dislike the idea of having something to start things off as people are still filing in.

5. I always kind of saw it as Shane proving that he doesn't just have a TV spot because of his last name. He seems to take after his dad in the sense he wouldn't have his employees put their bodies on the line without putting himself in their shoes as well. Wrestlers have more respect for people willing to take a bump.

More wrestling tomorrow.
