WWE vs AAA:

WWE are furious with AAA. Not just for using Alberto Del Rio within his 90 day no compete clause, especially as he did get into a physical confrontation, but they also aired a video of Rey Mysterio promising to join AAA soon, with the graphic #FreeRey. They video was meant to be played for the live audience after the show ended, but someone put it on early and it was played whilst the event was ongoing. WWE are growing increasingly concerned that they are being portrayed as racist in Mexico, and are worried that their growing popularity in the Latino market could be diminished by the current anti WWE atmosphere.

Related to AAA, Jeff Jarrett no showed the event due to adverse weather, he couldn't make it to the show.

* What's next for Brock Lesnar and will John Cena respond to his crushing defeat?

* How will Nikki Bella explain her turn on sister Brie Bella?

* Will Bray Wyatt seek out a new target tonight?'

* Does WWE have a new Apex Predator in Roman Reigns?

* Who will Dean Ambrose go after first - Kane or Seth Rollins?

Lesnar vs Hogan:

Hulk Hogan is upset with Brock Lesnar, Lesnar went off script when calling him Grandpa on Raw last week.

Backstage feud:

Vince McMahon and Triple H are reportedly feuding over the direction creatively for WresteMania 31. Vince wants Brock vs Rock 2 to headline, however Triple H feels it is time to start getting the newer guys back in the big matches and wants Roman Reigns to headline against the new World Champ. It is said that their is no animosity at this stage, just a sharing of different ideas, but as things get closer it could be a big test of where WWE is going, as both men are very stubborn, and neither will want to back down.

Davey Richards:

Davey Richards will be out for 4-6 weeks with his broken leg.

One more match:

Konnan is having hip replacement surgery because he wants one more match, probably for AAA.
