WWE officials are looking to load WrestleMania 32 up since they want to fill Cowboys Stadium and break attendance records. The idea is that any talent who is a Legend and can still perform, besides the retired Ric Flair of course, will probably get asked to work the show.

WWE's been trying to get this match done at Mania since 2012.

They could not pinpoint exactly what happened to do so, but said it was two different moments of impact and that no level or speed of medical treatment would have made a difference. The Mexico City commission noted that Aguayo Jr. had been given a complete physical 15 days earlier (probably the night of the 3/6 AAA show in Mexico City) and he was fine.

Rey Bucanero said he talked with Rey Mysterio Jr. and said Mysterio Jr. told him that he is leaning toward retirement. Mysterio Jr. is scheduled to be in Santa Clara tonight which would be his first public interview and in San Jose later for Wrestlecon.

A lot of people have started to become concerned with Rey's overall well-being especially since the funeral.

Many senior WWE officials, including Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, have been making the rounds and meeting with several of the top movie studios while in Los Angeles, California this week. As noted recently, HHH and Stephanie met with executives at Paramount Pictures on Tuesday. WWE reached an agreement with Paramount to promote Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new “Terminator” film all the way through its’ release in July, a deal that calls for use of imagery from the film in HHH’s entrance at WrestleMania 31 this Sunday.

I have been told that Brock Lesnar's contract is set for 3 years at $3 million a year. Brock is working a limited schedule during this new contract just like he was with his older contract.
The WWE championship match has been heavily discussed since Brock has confirmed to be staying with WWE. Writers have been working night and day with Vince, Triple H and their inner circle on possible outcomes for the match. I am being told that Vince is on board with the idea of having Brock retain the WWE title, Cena win the U.S. title and either Sheamus or Daniel Bryan winning the I.C. title. It is still not confirmed however what role if any Sheamus will play at WrestleMania.
I have also been told Roman Reigns is being compared to Lex Luger and his push in 1993 and early 1994. Lex was pushed to the moon but never got over as the WWE wanted at the time. Thus Vince went with the fan favorite Bret Hart and Luger fizzled of into mid-card status.
I have also been told that Dean Ambrose is to get a heavy push leading into SummerSlam.

From the usual source on Reddit.

$3 million figure is incorrect.
Vince's take on Reigns as Luger is incorrect. Vince very high on him still.
The writers have zero to do with Brock vs. Reigns. It is all Vince. HHH may have some influence, but he'd be the only one because Vince is not taking input from anyone except him, and it's possible he'll listen to Heyman. Also, whatever his idea is, he's not telling ANYONE (except maybe HHH or if Dwayne' s involved, and I don't know if he is or not) as of today.
Whatever Sheamus is doing, and he is booked on the show, is already planned out and all the key people know what it is.

It would be very early, but it's not unheard of for people to come back that quickly from that surgery. Officially, the word from WWE is that both Owens and Sami Zayn (who has been out of action the past few weeks with a shoulder injury) will be part of the show, saying nothing more.

WrestleMania go-home episode of WWE RAW drew 4.19 million viewers, up 7% from last week's 3.919 million viewers.
For this week's show, the first hour drew 4.178 million viewers before rising to 4.342 million viewers for the second hour. The audience dropped 7% to 4.043 million viewers for the third and final hour.

Ended up being the highest rated and viewed episode this Mania season but also down around 500,000 million viewers compared to last year. Overall weekly average loss was around 400,000 compared to last year and ratings hit an 18-year low for the season.
Some other sheet news include: - Lucha Underground is starting to crackdown on people bringing phones and other devices to events to prevent results being leaked.
- Current plans for post-Mania feuds and Payback ppv matches are:
Cena vs Rusev for US title, Bryan vs. Ambrose vs. Barrett for IC title, and Rollins vs Reigns (may or may not involve WWE title).
- According to the Observer, RAW's tug-o-war ending was due to the WWE not wanting to commit to any plans until Lesnar made his decision.
- Finn Balor's call up from the NXT is currently rumored to happen shortly after Mania 31.
- Recent B.S. podcast episode had Hulk Hogan as its guest. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/b-...rt-hulk-hogan/
