Gawker would have to post $50 million to take it to the appeals court, which makes that aspect tricky as well, as the verdict could force the company into either bankruptcy or sale. There was a great deal of potential evidence Gawker was hoping to introduce that didn't make the trial due to the rulings of judge Pamela Campbell and Gawker is going to use that in its appeal.

He's supposed to do something with Lesnar at one point, he's still to do something with Roman Reigns again, they're supposed to go back to that, so there's big plans. It sounds like Bray's going to be the top heel down the line and that hasn't changed

Biggest take-away is the injury crisis being bad enough the WWE dropped the amount of guys needed for the battle royale match. Last two Andre battle royales were 30-man matches.

On Monday's RAW it was advertised that the WWE Network will feature 7 hours of WrestleMania coverage and the Hall of Fame ceremony, but NXT Takeover: Dallas got no mention. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that a lot of people within the company are openly unhappy that the NXT event was not promoted on RAW.
Either someone simply forgot to include NXT Takeover in their WrestleMania week lineup, or someone in WWE felt it wasn't important enough. One conspiracy theory is that Kevin Dunn may have made the decision to leave Takeover off the promotional video on RAW. NXT is considered to be Triple H's project, and Dunn has nothing to do with the NXT product.
Meltzer noted that the feeling within WWE is that Dunn will likely be let go when Triple H and Stephanie McMahon eventually take over the company.

I think he [Ambrose] shined so much as a wrestler, as a performer, that this match got him over more in my eyes than he was before this match and I liked Dean Ambrose to begin with.
This match elevated Dean Ambrose. Dude, someone who books can argue that point with me, but I stand by the fact that someone had to get beat and the right guy got beat and he got beat in the right way and it's going to make him stronger and that kid's got a great future. He did before this match. He really does now. He went out there on a big stage with a top guy and threw down.
