@wweajlee My deepest apologies, ‘lil sis. I’ll be in a prop plane skywriting my regret ASAP.
— Big E Langston (@BigELangston) April 9, 2013
@bigelangston I’m going to punch you in the same spot. For revenge, and also because I’m jealous of your rack.

@wweajlee Now, now. There’s no need for that “an eye for an eye” mentality. Or in this case…

Post WresteMania Raw Crowd One Of The Best In History Of Broadcast
The crowd was one of the hottest in RAW history. Some of the chants they were chanting tonight included “RVD,” “Jerry,” “Pretzels,” “We Are Awesome,” “Cotton Candy,” “Randy Savage,” “Mike Chioda…1.2..3!,” “Same old sh-t” and even “Michael Cole.”
* After The Undertaker – Shield segment, Kane, Undertaker and Daniel Bryan turned their back to the crowd to do the one arm up salute to a MASSIVE pop.
* The crowd was dead at the start of the Randy Orton – Sheamus match, but came to in a big way once the “Ole” chant started.
* After The Big Show – Orton – Sheamus segment, WWE apparently trolled the crowd and aired an old Steve Austin video with the glass shattering and the place went NUTS before they realized it was just a video package. Everybody was talking about how cruel that was.
* During Fandango’s match, people were loudly chanting his theme. They continued to break into his theme during a break.
* After the show outside of the arena, there was a big Fandango sing off with everyone still chanting his theme.

———————–
The Rock was scheduled to be confronted by Brock Lesnar on tonight’s RAW, however The Rock is no where to be found.
RAW’s original script was set to feature The Rock opening the show with a promo about losing the WWE Title to John Cena. This promo would have led to Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman confronting Rock and laying him out, planting the seeds for a future pay-per-view bout between the two, rumored to be WrestleMania 30.
With The Rock skipping out without notice, A WWE source described the environment as “chaos backstage.”
The word going around is he went home. Vince McMahon and WWE writers and producers are busy re-doing the show
WrestleMania 29 Diary – AJ Lee reflects after WrestleMania:
Editor’s Note: Don’t think she was talking about Ziggler & Big E’s match outcome. Think it was more personal regarding her involvement or lack there of. Of course she was smart to say it in such a way that it could be taken that way if you wish. Don’t think the emotion was a work. .

In a match mostly dominated by Y2J, Fandango pulled off the major upset when Jericho tweaked his knee on a Lionsault and couldn’t put Fandango in the Walls of Jericho. Fandango capitalized by rolling Jericho up in a small package for the victory.
World Heavyweight Championship Match

CM Punk vs. The Undertaker
The streak lives on! 21-0 for the Undertaker. In a fantastic match that CM Punk carried for most of the night, Taker pins Punk after a Tombstone Piledriver. Throughout the match, Punk taunted and disrespected Taker, even using some of Taker’s moves against The Phenom. Both competitors kicked out at the last second several times. At one point Punk did a flying elbow drop from the top of the turnbuckle to the announce table where Taker was laid out. Taker barely made it back to the ring before the 10 count. This match exceeded all expectations!
No Holds Barred Match with Triple H’s Career On The Line
Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H w/ Shawn Michaels will be in Triple H’s corner
Brutal match throughout. How either one walked out on their own power is amazing in itself. Triple H got the pin after nailing Lesnar in the head with the sledge hammer and then connecting with a pedigree on the steel steps for the 1-2-3. The Game’s career can continue.
