— Despite WrestleMania 28 being in The Rock’s hometown of Miami, WWE officials had been going with the idea of John Cena winning for months. The real discussions about The Rock winning reportedly began about a month ago. Still, most people within WWE thought that Cena would win.
— Former WWE star Tajiri is set to announce a new wrestling promotion in Japan. Puroresu Spirit wrote on Facebook: “TAJIRI is set to make an announcement on the establishment of a new promotion soon. Two dates have been dropped for shows 4/26 @ Shinjuku & 5/24 @ Korakuen Hall. “Keep Wrestling Classic” is being hinted at again for the base of TAJIRI’s new promotion.”
— WWE has been talking about reaching out to former announcers to work on the Network as it gets closer to launching, so they don’t put a much larger workload on the current crew of announcers.
— As noted before, the Twitter rants from Epico and Rosa Mendes for being left off WrestleMania 28 are part of a storyline. Look for similar comments from WWE talents over the next few weeks and months as officials want Twitter to be integrated into the storylines.
