Christian:

He is injured again... Christian had to withdraw from the Intercontinental Championship match he earned on Raw, to take place at Last Night's Main Event, due to a concussion that happened in the Raw match. Dolph Ziggler stepped in to take the shot, but Big E. successfully retained.

The concussion is said to be mild, but WWE are extremely protective over head injuries now, so with Mania just 11 days away, it could be tight for his participation in the Battle Royal.

WrestleMania 30:

The Tag Team Championship match at WrestleMania is now official...

* The Uso's will defend vs Real Americans vs RybAxel vs Los Matadores.

WWE have cleared up some confusion over the Diva's match. Despite having (I think) 14 competitors involved in the match, there will be only one fall, first woman to score a pinfall or submission will become the Diva's Champion, and AJ Lee does not need to be involved in the fall for the title to change hands.

Iron Sheik:

Here is the trailer for the WWE produced Iron Sheik movie.

Wrestling wedding:

Luke Gallows / DOC will marry Amber O'Neal on May 13 this year, they have announced.

WCW:

Today is the day, 13 years ago that WCW went bust, and was purchased by WWE. WWE have confirmed that they initially planned to allow the promotion to continue as a separate entity, and released a promo for what would have been the debut show under Shane McMahon's management.

That idea was of course dropped and WWE went with the Invasion angle instead.

Question Of The Day...

Do you think WWE were right to go with the idea of invasion, or would you have preferred WCW to have been allowed to continue under Shane's leadership???

Jonathan Coachman:

Jonathan Coachman is the subject of this months Where Are They Now? feature on WWE.Com.

Batista:

Batista is mocked regularly backstage, due to his dress sense. That has been exacerbated this week after his tight jeans split on live TV.

Hall Of Fame:

There are two reasons WWE are inducting Razor Ramon, the character, rather than Scott Hall the performer of said role...

* WWE want to induct the NWO as a group in the future, possibly as soon as 2015, (Although with The Rock already expected to be the headline inductee, it is more likely to be later than that, as NWO members would not be willing to be inducted beneath any one else) and have therefore separated his WWE and WCW career...

* Vince McMahon is very proud of the gimmick.

Hall Of Famer talks Mania 30:

Ace Cowboy Bob Orton has compared his son Randy Orton to WWE...

"My son Randy is a winner and he is just scratching the surface of his greatness. I can't wait to see what's coming up for him in the future. He's like WWE — great then, great now and great forever."

Kofi Kingston on racism in WWE:

"People always say, 'Oh, there haven't been many black champions,' but on the other hand, there are a whole lot of white people that never won a belt either," he said. "These days, I think it's less of a racial thing. I honestly believe that if you are able to entertain and interact with the crowd, it doesn't matter what ethnicity you may be. [WWE] will reward you."

Bob Backlund:

The WWE Hall Of Famer will release his biog... The All-American Boy: Lessons and Stories on Life from Wrestling Legend Bob Backlund, on July 1 this year.

Sin Cara loves to fight:

Sin Cara is already in a battle with WWE over the Sin Cara name, and will now restart another with his former employers CMLL too. He has confirmed he will return to his Mistico gimmick for an upcoming show. Like WWE the promotion claim ownership, and have recast the gimmick since Luis Alvirde left the role.

WWE's future:

VInce McMahon was asked about the future of WWE after he leaves, and if he would like a McMahon to stay in charge. He was quite vague in his response...

"I would like to see a degree of that. I just think as times go on, things will evaporate. Eventually Uncle Sam sees the benefit. You can't do anything without Uncle Sam taking a huge bite of it."
