Interviews with Becky, HoFers get new merch, NFL name at Raw, Road to Evolution audience and Network debut date, AXS promotion at comic con, international Wrestlecon event set, McAFee looks at SD1000, Raw audience, plenty of new ROH matches, more Evolution notes, and Questions on if death matches count as wrestling, Bray disappearing, HBK returning at Crown Jewel, and the timing of Evolution

Becky Lynch is on the latest We Enjoy Wrestling podcast to promote Evolution.

- She also spoke with TVInsider.

Trish Stratus and Lita have new T-shirts.

NFL quarterback Brian Hoyer was at Raw.

WWE's Road to Evolution special will air on WWE Network Thursday at 8:00 p.m. EST. It makes sense for USA and E! to air it first.

- The special drew 1.11 million viewers on USA Network Monday.

Women of Wrestling will be at Los Angeles Comic Con. I hope that's a good occasion for them.

WrestleCon has announced "Battle in the Big Apple: United States vs. The World" for April 5.

Pat McAfee looked at some key Smackdown 1000 moments. I expect to see more of him in WWE as time goes on.

Raw drew 2.55 million viewers Monday, a notable boost. I'd think Roman's announcement pulled in some curious fans.

Global Wars has added the following matches:
- Jeff Cobb vs. Christopher Daniels in Massachusetts
- Jay Briscoe vs. Scorpio Sky in Massachusetts
- Jay Lethal vs. Chris Sabin in a Proving Ground match in New York
- The Briscoes vs. Best Friends vs. Cody and Hangman Page in New York
- Cody vs. Beretta for the IWGP United States Championship in Ontario
- Young Bucks vs. KUSHIDA and Chris Sabin in Ontario

Survival of the Fittest has added the following first-round matches:
- Dalton Castle vs. Hangman Page vs. Colin Delaney
- Flip Gordon vs. Guerrero Maya Jr. vs. Andrew Everett
- Marty Scurll vs. Stuka, Jr. vs. Silas Young

Evolution will have a red carpet event with Kayla Braxton and Charly Caruso. The Kickoff panel will feature Renee Young, Beth Phoenix, and Page.

Lilian Garcia will do ring announcing at Evolution.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. If people are willing to go through that kind of punishment and others are willing to pay to see them do it, I'm not really that upset the style exists. There are plenty of other options for wrestling fans out there.

2. Between him being in meaningless lower-card feuds and him being saved for when there's a reason to use him, I'm fine with him getting some time off. His character has definitely run out of things to other than potentially work with Harper yet again.

3. Given how much money WWE got paid for the show, it makes sense to deliver a big card. Plus, Shawn's not going to have to live up to previous Mania matches. The Saudi crowd will treat him like a star regardless.

4. In part, yes, but ultimately it's part of a bigger push for women in WWE.

More wrestling coming up.
