Roode made an on-screen debut during NXT TakeOver during Wrestlemania weekend and Thursday night at the latest set of NXT tapings, Young made his promotional debut by interrupting and confronting NXT Champion Samoa Joe during an interview segment.

They had a second question regarding adding Raw and Smackdown the day after they air on television, so clearly they are exploring that idea and creating a premium higher priced tier.

WWE issued a survey to former subscribers of the WWEs Network today asking them if they would reconsider subscribing again. One of the more interesting choices on the survey was the option to pay $12.99 a month and get the option of Raw and Smackdown replays 24 hours after they air on the USA Network. Currently, the episodes are added to the Network's VOD 30 days after they air. So, they are at least considering the change.

More details in regarding possible future changes for the WWE Network and possible new pricing tier.

PWInsider.com is reporting that there has been a lot of talk about Jannetty's behavior coming out of WrestleMania weekend in Dallas.
Jannetty has been silent on his Facebook page since late March. Several fans have posted comments expressing concern about Jannetty, however he has not replied to any of them.
Jannetty wrestled at the 4/11 Cauliflower Alley Club Casino Royale event, however he reportedly missed a booking on 4/16 at the Icons Of Wrestling & Comic Book Collectorfest at the former ECW Arena.
Former WWE Superstar Lance Storm spoke about Jannetty's behavior issues at WrestleMania weekend in Dallas during a recent edition of Figure Four Daily, noting that his daughter told him that Jannetty was the craziest wrestler she saw during WrestleMania weekend this year, by far.
At one point on Sunday during WrestleMania weekend at approximately 4am, Storm's daughter witnessed Jannetty climbing on and walking around in a fountain inside a hotel lobby. You can check out a photo of this incident via Storm's Twitter page below.
