It was clear he was hurt, but it also appeared that he was going to try to continue the match. They did one quick highspot, but as Neville was trying to hop to the ropes, he collapsed.

It's not a great sign going into WrestleMania, especially given it followed the Roadblock special. The only good news was that hour three, which featured Triple H wrestling, was the most watched of the night, doing 3,510,000 viewers. Hour 1: 3,471,000 viewers Hour 2: 3,392,000 viewers Hour 3: 3,510,000 viewers

Being implied in most reports that daylight savings time played a big role for the good 3rd hour. For some comparison, last week was 3.76 million, 3.61 million, and 3.27 million for hours.

In regards to the bad records this week's RAW set.

On if he holds back on his podcast: “A lot of the time, I hold back because I’m one of the boys and I’ve got to show up every damn month for a podcast. It’s not my goal to run anybody down [or] run anybody down that’s in control. I love the [professional wrestling] business, but it is what it is. I have my opinion. Sometimes, believe me, I’m holding back when I’m talking about my opinions because I don’t want to shoot a hole in anybody.” On WWE’s way of presenting their product: “I think the WWE, they live in their own world. Make your own world. Have your own set of rules. Present it in a serious light.” On certain topics being off limits: “Sometimes, in talking, quite frankly, with WWE talent, you can’t go certain directions. There’s a line that is drawn that you really can’t cross over because they can’t bury themselves [and] they can’t talk about certain things, so, sometimes, it just is what it is.”

From a recent Stone Cold podcast episode in regards to if Network related podcast episodes are treated differently than his regular ones.

Lawler, who had trouble remembering Byron Saxton's name, also talked about his heel turn on commentary and said it was his idea. Lawler knew Mauro wouldn't say anything bad about anyone because he was the new guy and Byron is too nice of a guy, so Lawler suggested to Vince that he go back to his heel persona. Lawler also said he's just scratching the surface and trying to ease into the turn. Lawler said Vince loved the idea and told him that he misses the way "The King" used to be.

Shane vs Taker, Hell in a Cell match Reigns vs HHH, WWE title match Lesnar vs Ambrose, Street Fight Kalisto vs Ryback, US title match New Day vs League of Nations, Tag Team title match Owens vs Zayn, IC title match Usos vs Dudley Boyz Charlotte vs Becky vs Sasha, Divas title match Lana/Naomi/Tamina vs Brie/Alicia/Paige Styles vs Jericho Andre Memorial Battle Royale

Rumored current card for Mania at the moment.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson has said he is "dead keen" for London to finally host a WrestleMania. Talk has been growing for years that England's capital will try and host WWE's flagship event, and Johnson has further stoked the fires today in a Twitter Q&A, in which he also revealed that his great grandfather was "briefly a fairground wrestler".

Some confusion around the net about the "threw a fit" part since some people thought he meant backstage when in reality he meant the part where Vince demanded his intro and reaction be redone on live tv.

Our sources say that despite not being used much on Impact Wrestling in 2015, TNA’s creative team were looking to give his character a new lease on life with a talk show segment. The segment — called “Huh?” with Mr. Anderson — aired on January 12th and we’re told producers planned to make it a reoccurring segment after they were happy with how it it turned out. Ken Anderson also won the main event filmed for Impact’s Jan. 19th episode — but as we previously reported, it was cut from the show after he was suspected of wrestling under the influence. The wrestler failed a subsequent drug test and was released shortly after.
