Dean Ambrose addressed the crowd after Raw, sharing the ring with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns before bowing. That definitely feels like a final appearance, although Dean's still listed on WWE.com's Superstars page, so his contract must not be quite up just yet.

Hiroshi Tanahashi has injured his left elbow, and will miss NJPW dates through May 4. There is no estimate of a return date at this time. ROH would love to have him on the War of the Worlds tour following that.

AEW has signed Japan's Hikaru Shida. They're really shoring up a women's division.

AEW responded to chants on Raw. I expect more in the weeks and months to come.

WrestleMania 37 is being considered for Los Angeles. That will certainly be a nice change from the Eastern U.S.

Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, Batista, and Hulk Hogan were not at either TV taping following WrestleMania. I didn't really expect them to be.

Billy Corgan was at WrestleMania and the WWE Hall of Fame. Chris Nowinski was at WrestleMania, and Cherry was at the WWE Hall of Fame.

Viceland's Bruiser Brody episode was posted online ahead of premiering on TV tonight.

The Undertaker's Raw return is likely setting up a match with Elias at the next Saudi Arabian show. That would likely be a pretty quick outing for The Deadman.

Bret Hart was at Raw, as was the security guard who was hurt protecting him at the WWE Hall of Fame. I'm glad both are back in action.

WWE sent a number of wrestlers home after WrestleMania when they weren't needed for TV, including Sin Cara and Alicia Fox. It doesn't look like there are plans for them to get back on TV any time soon.

When Worlds Collide specials will air on WWE Network:
- April 14: NXT vs. NXT Alumni with Roderick Strong vs. Tyler Breeze, Harper vs. Dominik Dijakovic, SAnitY vs. the Undisputed Era, and Kassius Ohno vs. Aiden English
- April 17: Cruiserweights Collide with Tyler Bate vs. Brian Kendrick, Akira Tozawa vs. Jordan Devlin, Flash Morgan Webster/Mark Andrews vs. Mike Kanellis/Ariya Daivari, and Albert Harie Jr. vs. Gran Metalik vs. Ligero

Kofi Kingston endorsed his high school wrestling coach after becoming WWE Champion.

Raw drew 2.92 million viewers Monday night, the show's biggest audience since August.

WrestleMania Kickoff on USA Network drew 749,000 viewers.

WWE's Hall of Fame special after Raw drew 1.15 million viewers.

AOP's Akam was at WrestleMania weekend. He has been out injured.

Sasha Banks pulled out of a TV appearance a few hours before it was set to tape. The Wendy Williams Show was upset and claims they'll never book her for the show again. Sasha was also not at Raw. More on this tomorrow.

Before Smackdown Live, Luke Harper defeated EC3. Drake Maverick was in EC3's corner, so WWE is testing them as a pair after their work together in Impact. It's unknown what this will mean for AOP, but hopefully it means EC3 is due to be featured more.

"Total Divas" and "Miz & Mrs." both taped material during WrestleMania weekend. I expect Miz's dad will be part of the second season.

WWE is seeking a continuity supervisor to oversee Raw and Smackdown Live Creative. That's a great idea, but obviously their recommendations have to be followed.

NWA Crockett Cup has revealed the brackets for that event. The first-round matches will be:
- The Briscoes vs. The Rock 'N' Roll Express
- NJPW's Satoshi Kojima and Yuji Nagata vs. PCO and Brody King
- Flip Gordon and Bandido vs. CMLL's Stuka, Jr., and Guerrero Maya, Jr.
- The War Kings vs. the winners of a battle royal that night
-- That's a nice mix of rosters

Crockett Cup has also added:
- Jazz vs. Allysin Kay for the NWA Women's Championship
- Willie Mack vs. Colt Cabana for the NWA National Championship

After Smackdown Live, Kevin Owens defeated Sami Zayn. So, if you were wondering how long WWE could go without using them together again, the answer was two days.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Nope. It was just a joke. It's not like The Elite hasn't taken plenty of shots at WWE. I don't think there's real any animosity between the two sides.

2. I definitely think WWE will consider the incident when making plans for next year, although obviously there are other concerns beyond the stage setup.

3. Scott has said he doesn't want to go into the Hall of Fame, but I think WWE would be more likely to reach out to that pair than Demolition for the reason mentioned.

4. I'm sure it earned him some love in the wrestling fandom.

5. I don't dislike that idea, but I also don't want to distract too much from those three specific women in the main event, lest it feel like a gimmick instead of a culmination of hard work from three top athletes.

More wrestling tomorrow.
