Interviews with Rhyno/Becky/McIntyre/Miz+Maryse, Punk hosting radio show, Lio update, WWE TV digital change, Raw cameos, live Raw segments, more DSOTR footage, MLW signs Texas team, Raw audience, SDL stars miss TV, another wrestling mayor, SDL dark match, and Questions on WWE women without HHH+Stephanie, Woken Matt+Glorious Roode not working out in WWE, Firefly Fun House in Bray's head, Saudis getting big stars, and the most highly-paid WWE star

Rhyno discussed leaving WWE and more. WWE offering him a huge increase to stay is crazy given how little they use him. I hope he does something more valuable elsewhere.

Becky Lynch spoke about MMA stars crossing over to WWE.

C.M. Punk will appear on Stadium's "Sauce and Shram" multiple times this week. The former Jack Swagger appeared with Punk on Tuesday's episode.

Drew McIntyre put over an Irish wrestler when promoting WWE's European tour. That's pretty cool.

The Miz and Maryse promoted their show on Newsweek.

Lio Rush was not backstage at Raw and is not on the European tour. I don't expect him to be on the road again anytime soon.

WWE didn't upload Raw videos on YouTube during the show, presumably to increase people watching on TV live. I think that's a losing battle in 2019, but I see what they're going for.

Lacey Evans' Raw opponent was Midwestern indie star Alyx Sky. Indie stars Shawna Reed and Charlie Kruel were in No Way Jose's conga line. I wonder if we'll ever see them on WWE TV for something more substantial?

The IIconics, Mojo Rawley, and Titus O'Neil did promos for the Raw live crowd. That's a good idea to keep the crowd engaged during commercial breaks. And I guess Titus is heel now.

"Dark Side of the Ring" will have extended cuts on Viceland beginning May 22. It must be doing pretty well then.

MLW has signed Kevin Von Erich's sons Marshall and Ross to five-year deals. The pair have been wrestling since 2012. There's a possibility Kevin appears for the company, too.

Raw drew 2.22 million viewers Monday night, a slight increase from last week. We'll see if the Wild Card rule has any effect; it's definitely a short-term solution for something that needs a major overhaul.

Smackdown Live's Roman Reigns, Aleister Black, Elias, and Apollo Crews were not at Tuesday's taping, as they traveled to Europe with the Raw brand. Black's promo was recorded beforehand. Rosters will be mixed for the European tour due to itineraries being set before the Superstar Shakeup.

Matt Morgan has become mayor of Longwood, Florida. Obviously there are comparisons to be made to Kane. Winner take all match?

Before Smackdown Live, Heavy Machinery defeated the team of Shelton Benjamin and Jinder Mahal. There was no dark match after 205 Live. If HM are going to be competitive with Bryan and Rowan, they need to have credible wins like that.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think it could largely still be filler matches from relatively inexperienced wrestlers.

2.a. I don't think it's a stretch to say WWE brass didn't "get" Matt's Impact character. Even if they did, they weren't willing to give it the time Impact gave it. Impact filmed segments weeks in advance and inserted them. WWE doesn't usually do that. I also don't expect WWE liked the idea of Matt using his own crew to film something for their show. And, honestly, by the time WWE got the rights to the characters, everyone involved had more or less moved on to other things. WWE prioritized the vintage Hardys over the Impact stuff as well, thinking that would be a better long-term investment.

2.b. Roode is 41. Both sides probably see him as a solid hand to have a couple good years in the "big leagues" before moving on to producing/coaching/something other than being on the road wrestling full-time. The case can also be made that Impact and NXT didn't/don't have the stacked rosters WWE has. Only so many of those really talented people can shine.

3. It's possible BUT he's used buzzard and "Abby" imagery before, so I wouldn't assume new people are going to work with him. Bray's character is definitely not mentally sound.

4. Nope. I've seen those names wrestle plenty over the years. And we can still see those matches live on the award-winning WWE Network, so it's not really an issue.

5. Definitely the man who's been able to tease leaving for UFC every few months!

More wrestling tomorrow.
