Andrade was backstage at Raw in order to be part of the flight to Saudi Arabia.

Dynamite's April 29 episode will come from the University of Houston.

Impact's WrestleCon has added Shark Boy. That just became a must-see event! Stone Cold Shark Boy was amazing.

Bayley promoted Super Showdown.

Raw is running New Zealand on August 8.

WWE Shop released Ruthless Aggression designs for Evolution to time with their episode of the docuseries being released.

John Morrison discussed his WWE return. That Joey Mercury injury was one of the most brutal I've ever seen.

Cesaro is on the latest Swerve City podcast.

Cathy Kelley discussed leaving WWE with Maria Menounos, saying she's pursuing other projects that her WWE schedule didn't allow for. Cathy also said she was getting worn down by the schedule.

Raw has announced:
- Beth Phoenix appearing to update Edge's status
- Rey Mysterio and Humberto Carrillo vs. Andrade and Angel Garza
- AJ Styles vs. Aleister Black

After Raw, Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins. That would be big on TV.

Rusev missed Raw due to a back issue. He will be replaced by Rey Mysterio at Super Showdown.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Hopefully they won't have to change plans like that and can go with Drew McIntyre beating Brock Lesnar. As for the Smackdown side, frankly I don't think they should have The Fiend lose the title anytime soon.

2. The running story has been "Cody vs. Cody's former friends," seemingly, rather than long feuds with any one person. I do wonder what's next for Cody since he can't challenge for the world title, and him losing to the likes of Spears and MLF would paint him as not being at that level. The argument has been that they're moving this quickly because it's a battle for ratings every week. And really people were just waiting for MJF to turn heel anyway, so it was probably for the best. As far as Spears is concerned, he's been on Dark and I would think once that show hits its new home we'll see him more.

3. I would be shocked if it didn't count as an NXT-level payday rather than an EVOLVE-level payday. They're appearing as NXT talent.

4. I would also like to see that, but it seems like they prefer him as an undercard name on Raw (and Main Event).

5. I'd guess they're working through home video releases chronologically.

More wrestling tomorrow.
