— As seen on RAW this week, WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix returned after being off TV for several weeks. She defended her title and squashed Eve Torres towards the end of RAW. For what it’s worth, there have been rumors of a Beth Phoenix vs. Kharma match at WrestleMania 28 so this may be a way to build up Phoenix going into that match.
— As we’ve been reporting in recent weeks, the plan is to do a Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk match at WrestleMania 28. They set the stages for that this week on RAW when Jericho attacked Punk during his match with Daniel Bryan. Jericho is in the Elimination Chamber match so there is no rush to do that match at the next PPV. They’ll hold it off until ‘Mania.
— The Undertaker vs. Triple H is also expected for WrestleMania 28 as we’ve been reporting. More on that shortly.
