— Dolph Ziggler is currently expected to get a World Title run at some point this year. Ziggler’s work rate and sell for his opponents have been winning people over and many of the company’s top babyface talent are eager to work with him because of his ability to make people look good.

— Despite expectations by many, Ric Flair was not present backstage at the 1,000th RAW on Monday. Many in the company believe that Flair will be back in WWE eventually, but the company is being cautious because of the TNA/WWE lawsuit as we’ve been reporting. The company said they were not actively pursuing Flair in a filing related to the suit and have no desire to give evidence to the contrary.
