Originally Posted by Observer There no longer appears to be a timetable for AJ's returning to WWE's squared circle. People within WWE are apparently in the dark concerning her future in the sports-entertainment organization as Dave Meltzer states in this week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that "nobody has said anything about her of late." 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.

Originally Posted by Observer 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.

Originally Posted by Observer 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

Originally Posted by PWTorch 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.

Recent WWE survey about the WWE Network had these as new possible features with it being likely they all get added at some point in the future:

-"Bookmarking" programs to pick up later where you left off -"Watch list" that allows you to select shows to watch in the future (similar to Netflix Instant Queue) -"Recommendations" for shows you may enjoy based on what you have already watched -"Editors Picks" list of shows to watch programmed by WWE's own staff -"What's Hot" listing of the most watched programs on WWE Network -"What am I watching?" feature telling you detailed information on the program you are watching with the click of a button -Multiple cameras choice feature which allows you to select different camera angles for viewing.
