She had posted a selfie backstage at the NXT tapings and the running order for the night was on the wall behind her, on it was match results, who booked each segment and other SPOILERS!!! for the shows which air on tape delay (Hence, I won't share it here).

Y2J reveals reason for Mania song choice:

"Vince does not like the American national anthem, nope. He feels that 'America The Beautiful' is the epitome of American songs. That's why for every WrestleMania, it's 'America The Beautiful'."

Fan incident:

A video of Mojo Rawley delivering Flair chops to drunk fans in a NOLA bar has made it's way onto the internet. The video had the fan using very offensive and homophobic language to goad Mojo into hitting him. Mojo seemed to take the incident in fun, he was laughing throughout, but did give him what he asked for. WWE have not yet commented.

Rusev punished?:

Rusev has lost his match vs Undertaker, seemingly as a result of telling TMZ the dead man is past his prime. Chris Jericho will wrestle him in Saudi instead.
