WrestleMania 31:

Triple H will have a Terminator themed entrance. Scenes from the new movie will play during his walk to the ring, and Hunter will wear the iconic black leather jacket, made famous by upcoming Hall Of Famer, Arnold Schwarzenegger. HHH has spent the early part of this week working one on one with Sting at the PC.

The Hall Of Fame will not be hosted by Eva Marie. Jerry Lawler told Bill Apter that it was ''B/S and Rumour''.

Steve Austin has decided not to attend Mania, which has upset some officials, they had plans for him at the show. No word on why he has stayed at home.

The set designer for the staging of the show has revealed a taste of what you can expect...

"Expect something different from us. The atmosphere being West Coast and daylight presented some very unique challenges for us to overcome. The structure itself isn't really tied to a particular thing like the city or arena, but we have this really unique thing where we can't hide anything. We have to be open, [because] everybody's going to see everything. I can't do the theater magic and hide the bad parts. So we've had to work really hard. Everything had to tie in and feel like it was part of the image and the structure. It's a unique set, a unique way of lighting the ring because of the sun. You'll see some different search lights around there, and from a lighting point of view and the set, we've had to deal with having full sun on the set because you can't hide anything. You'll see it's a different set from us this year."

Lanny kills urban legend:

Legend announces retirement:

Sting says this Sunday will be his last match, unless...

"I'm feeling like this is probably going to be my last one. We'll see how everyone reacts. If I'm asked to do one more at Survivor Series or maybe even WrestleMania next year, at this point, I would consider it. But realistically, this is going to be my last one."
