- Matches for tonight's WWE Superstars include Tyler Reks vs. Trent Baretta, William Regal vs. Darren Young and David Hart Smith vs. Tyson Kidd.
- It's said that Jamie Keyes' appearance on Tuesday's NXT was a one-time thing and she is not being re-hired by the company.
- WWE may have nixed the Juan Cena character after some new promotional material for upcoming live events no longer lists him as appearing. At some events, Edge is replacing Juan in the main events. As noted before, Juan's debut at the WWE live event on Sunday was considered a trial run but they did have plans to use the character.

- WWE has not given up on the idea of bringing in Brock Lesnar for WrestleMania, even though his contract status with UFC would make this very unlikely.
The mention of Brock Lesnar on RAW multiple times isn't something that Vince McMahon would allow to happen by accident, according to Dave Meltzer. It is believed that Lesnar himself wants to make the appearance and his camp are hopeful that Dana White will change his mind.
Coincidently, Lesnar's autobiography is also scheduled for release around the time of WrestleMania on April 19th.
