WWE Survey fans:

WWE have released the results of two fan surveys. The first was asking why fans decided to pay more for WrestleMania, by going with a different provider than they could have paid, if they watched on the Network. The results were...

* Have a limited budget and chose to spend my money elsewhere...

* Don't have fast enough broadband...

* Don't know how to set up WWE Network on my TV...

* Have data limit and want to avoid overage charges...

* It would be too complicated...

They also asked fans who should main event SummerSlam, the results here were...

* AJ Lee...

* John Cena...

* Brock Lesnar...

* Cesaro...

* Roman Reigns...

* Batista...

Notes...

Bo Dallas' planned debut did not happen, his debut has been pushed back until May 23 No official word on why he was bumped, but the thought from WWE sources is they wanted to wait until after they get back from the European tour to give his debut the spotlight it deserves. What that says about the WWE attitude to it's fans over here, I will leave up to you, to form your own opinion.
Cody Rhodes turned heel on his Brother in his match.
Match 3 was full of botches by all involved, especially guest referee Eve Marie, one fan saying she refs as well as she wrestles.
Adam Rose won a pre show match, and had a guest as one of his rosebuds. Hall Of Famer Tully Blanchard's Daughter Tessa.

END OF SPOILERS!!!

Bad signs for Daniel Bryan:

WWE will make an announcement about the future of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on next Monday's Raw, which will be held in London. Whilst officials remain confident about the severity of the injury being minimal, there is some concern that doctor's may find the issue is worse than thought, and he could be benched for as long as a year (based on past injury's to the likes of Steve Austin, Edge, Lita etc). WWE should know one way or other by Monday, as Daniel's op is today, the decision as to what they do about the title will be made over the weekend, and we will be told what they are going to do on Monday.

Chris Masters vs Cesaro:

Chris Masters has retracted his diss on Cesaro (see yesterday), by saying he was joking.

Christopher Daniels talks TNA departure:

"I didn't know until the day they told me. I went in to speak with TNA officials the last booking that I had, which was a taping of one of the One Night Only pay-per-views, on April 12. That was when I found out. I didn't know before then. I kind of assumed, because Frankie [Kazarian] and I were still an entertaining tag team and our wrestling spoke for itself, I thought they were going to renew, but I was wrong."

Wrestling wedding:

Former TNA stars DOC and Amber O'Neal were married earlier this week.

Shawn Michaels on one more match:

Shawn Michaels says there has not been a single time he has visited WWE in the past 5 years that he has not been asked to come back for one more match, BUT, he says the people that matter know that he has no intention of ever getting back into the ring again. He says he has not missed the squared circle once in the time he has been away and has moved on. He did concede that WWE were high on him getting him in the ring vs Daniel Bryan last year, and some were upset that he rebuffed them. He says he came up with the heel turn, and the redemption moment from Daniel Bryan (He slapped the Yes lock on him on Raw) to make up for it, but no matter how it looked, there was never any intention that it would lead to a match.

WWE TV deal update:

The Bella Twins will be at tomorrow night's NBC announcement, although they say they are representing the E! Network, not WWE. Speculation is NBC will confirm they have managed to win the right to hang on to WWE's TV deal at the event.
