Shawn Michaels told Jim Ross on Ross' podcast that the decision to end Undertaker's Streak was made on the day of WrestleMania. A lot of people in the company were in the dark, including the referee. That's interesting. I'd love to know what was going through everyone's heads that day.
Shawn Michaels also addressed C.M. Punk's situation. I think he knows what he's talking about here.
Chris Jericho discussed Adam Rose, Extreme Rules and more. That was lame, Chris. I can see some comparisons between Rose and Y2J, but I don't think they're trying to rip the older character off. If anything, Rose reminds me of Russell Brand.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Main Event Reax - 5/6/14, notes from Raw taping, Rosebuds identified, Rusev update, WWE tribute to recently-deceased fan, Interviews with Gunner/JR, Raw audience and Questions on ROH vs. ECW, Punk staying, Sheik's Twitter, WWE going PG and turning Cena heel
Main Event:
Well, that ending was something! Rose is catching my attention with the character. I hope he has the in-ring chops to back it up, because it's pretty entertaining. The action between Swagger and Ziggler was pretty solid. I hope both of them break through the glass ceiling in the future. Ziggler's only 33 after all.
That was kind of an odd post-match, but perfect for the Rose character. I like what I'm seeing so far.
That was a good Divas' match that will probably ultimately not mean much of anything. But hey, at least they got some screen time.
I couldn't care much less about a Natalya/Cameron feud. Unless it leads to one of them challenging Paige, that is.
That was a good match between two former Intercontinental Champions. Goldust still has gas in the tank. I hope we get that awesome Cody/Goldust feud we've been teased about for a few years now.
Ehhhh.... not a great promo from Cena, but he's definitely done a lot worse. He just feels so paint-by-numbers now.

Extreme Rules notes, update on NXT star to main roster, live event branding, GFW updates, more Pro Wrestling 101, Interview with Maria, Smackdown audience, change to Raw, what happened after Raw and Questions on WWE vs. Shane Douglas, Cesaro's new direction, Total Divas, TNA DVDs and WCW in 2014
Here are some live reports from Extreme Rules. The C.M. Punk chants were definitely audible. I still don't think he's coming back any time soon.
Rob Van Dam had some bruising and swelling as well as a cut following the Five Star Frog Splash trash can spot. Other than that, there haven't been any injury reports. That's a surprise given how physically intense the show was.
Bo Dallas is expected to debut on the main roster within a month's time. The character has a lot of potential if the reactions he's gotten so far are any indication. He's been pretty entertaining in NXT.
WWE has christened their summer live events as "The Summerslam Heatwave Tour". I think it's smart of them to push the Summerslam name on live events. It's supposed to be a big event after all.

Guest at TNA live event, Interviews with Big E/Kane/Sheamus/Emma, early Payback plans, Flair update, TNA announces names for 2015 UK tour and Questions on net neutrality, Wyatts vs. The Brood, WM2, King of the Ring returning and improving Cena's character
Chef Robert Irvine, Gail Kim's husband, was ringside at a recent TNA live event. They could probably use his expertise at turning businesses around.
Big E talked to promote the post-Extreme Rules Raw. Yeah, about that whole "still being IC Champion" thing... Good piece otherwise.
Sgt. Slaughter was part of an Extreme Rules viewing party in New York. That's pretty cool.
At one point, the plan for the main event of Payback was Daniel Bryan vs. Batista for the WWE Championship, with Bryan going over. Batista balked at the idea of another major loss on his way out. I can respect Batista's thinking there, but at the end of the day Bryan's the top guy in the company and should be pushed accordingly.
