The WrestleMania payoffs should be coming in the next two weeks, which will be the first PPV show since the network launch. Most talent doesn’t know how the pay is going to be structured, whether they will be paid just on PPV buys, in which case pay will be way down from recent years, or if their pay takes network reenue into account, in which case pay would still be down, but not as much. There is already unhappiness since even though houses are slightly up from last year with higher ticket prices and pretty much the same attendance, house show pay is significantly down. The wrestlers are mostly talking about it being a function of network losses, and there may be something to it, but another factor is that the house show expenses are up so the profit end, which the wrestlers are really paid out of, is down about 20 percent.

Months ago, Jonathan Coachman hinted that he was going to come back and work in a limited role on the network. We’d heard about the deal shortly before the network launched and Coachman had teased that he would have an announcement coming soon regarding wrestling. Coachman was going to stay with ESPN, just do some network projects. Evidently it fell through since when Coachman was asked on Twitter by someone who said that everyone wanted to see him back, and he responded by writing, “Except WWE.”

He reported on May 21 that she was expected to return late that month or in June, or at least shortly after her wedding took place.

As seen on this week's WWE Main Event, Roman Reigns was being interviewed in the ring by Renee Young when Reigns suggested that she take off her high heels because if someone came out to attack him, she would need to run away in a hurry. This was done as another rib to Renee. It's known within WWE that Renee often doesn't wear shoes when she's working backstage. Renee was previously ribbed for this by Triple H last month on a post-show.

WWE is now billing Stephanie McMahon as "The principal owner of World Wrestling Entertainment" instead of "one of the principal owners." When it comes to Vince McMahon, there is some significance in that small change of wording. With plans falling through months ago for Vince McMahon to return to TV in time for the WrestleMania XXX storylines, the impression was given that while Vince will appear on TV when he has to, such as a tribute to a documentary, the Mr. McMahon character has been retired for the time being and Stephanie would be the McMahon owning the company on TV

WWE has released monthly business figures that include a preliminary figure of 107,000 PPV buys for Extreme Rules in May. Notable in the break down is that only 40,000 PPV buys were domestic and the remaining 67,000 buys came from international sources. Extreme Rules was the second PPV of the Network era, creating an intersection of people watching the PPV on the Network, major satellite and cable providers dropping WWE PPVs, and Extreme Rules being the first PPV after the expensive WM30 event. The result was a 54 percent decline in PPV-only buys from Extreme Rules 2013. Whether or not WWE made up for that drop through Network subscriptions is in question until WWE releases their next subscriber count and revenue totals when they report Third Quarter 2014 earnings later this summer.
