The consensus within WWE was that the company had a deal setup with the USA Network done a month or so ago. WWE wanted to save the announcement till today, thus announcing it on WrestleMania Monday. However, Spike trumped them to it when they made their announcement of pulling out because they knew the deal was nearly complete, and they had no chance of retaining WWE's programming.

There was a positive mood for last night's PPV, with people generally thinking it delivered strongly. That being said, there was slight concern that the crowd seemed a little dead after John Cena's title win. That apart, everything went the way the company wanted it to.
