New WWE Photo Shoot, Matt Hardy back on the road, Angle WM35 challengers, Trish+Lita DVD coming, and Questions on Heyman's role in the Ronda-Becky angle, the state of the brand split, Owens getting a title match from Vince, Ronda post-WM35, Beth replacing Graves on SDL, and WM35 weather

"WWE Photo Shoot" with Natalya will air after Raw.

Matt Hardy worked his first live event since September 15 this weekend, teaming with Jeff Hardy to defeat Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura. Interestingly he's teasing his career is winding down - his current deal runs through WrestleMania 36.

Kurt Angle's WrestleMania 35 challenge has seen offers from Matt Riddle and Shelton Benjamin. Both would be awesome, but I'm not complaining if it's someone like Cena or Undertaker.

A Trish Stratus and Lita DVD is coming in June to the UK. At one point those two were set to be part of WrestleMania, but it doesn't look like that's happening now.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.a. I think Heyman is working with the duo on their lines, tweets, etc. but the overall direction is Vince.

1.b. No, Becky is not legitimately injured. They're setting her up to be an underdog overcoming the odds.

1.c. Charlotte has been feuding with Becky quite a bit and of course wrestled Ronda at Survivor Series. She's also a clear heel. The hope is for Charlotte and Becky to both get the rub from the placement on the card and working what could be Ronda's last match. That way if one of them unexpectedly gets dropped from things (like Roman with his diagnosis), they still have the other.

2.a. Now that the McMahons are in control of both shows, it's easier to switch people around. Those darn GMs just complicated things!

2.b. Vince probably likes his RUTHLESS AGGRESSION, Pal! And clearly Vince thought he'd be a bigger box office draw for Fastlane than Kofi. It's best for business, dammit!

3. I am curious what they do with Ronda after the (presumed) loss. They can definitely have her get fed up with WWE and its fans and say they're not worthy of seeing her, etc. But yes Becky will scorch her for it.

4. That would definitely be a nice change of pace and further the move to have more women at the booth.

5. They're definitely going to keep the ring dry. Other than that, there's not much they can do.

More wrestling tomorrow.
