Who Might Be Leaving WWE Next?
There was talk at Monday’s RAW that Alberto Del Rio is making noise about leaving WWE once his contract expires.
Del Rio has been frustrated due to going from a top guy on the SmackDown brand to someone who is fed to Batista. There’s a feeling among that with Del Rio already having talked about retirement, his age and the fact that he had success in Mexico, maybe it’s time for him to leave and be happy rather than hang on.
There is no word yet if Del Rio has started working on a new contract but there is at least some concern over his future after the talk at RAW on Monday night.
We’re doing something different this month! Here’s the announcement!
What Did WWE Do To Try And Win Over The Crowd For Batista Last Night On Raw?
Randy Orton was told to hurry through his promo and deliver it faster than usual at the beginning of last night’s RAW, likely to combat the CM Punk chants or any hijacking by the crowd.
WWE tried to ensure Batista would be cheered at last night’s RAW in Omaha by having him cut a localized promo before he came out for the segment with Alberto Del Rio. The promo aired while RAW was on commercial. Batista talked about how he was a big fan of baseball and the College World Series, which is hosted in Omaha.

WWE announced that Mark Henry will be returning next week on RAW.
WWE Wants To Bring Stacy Keibler Back
ProWrestling.net is reporting that WWE officials are making a strong effort to bring back Stacy Keibler as an on-air performer. Stephanie McMahon met with Keibler last week while Keibler was in New York hosting the VH1 Blitz concert.n
Stephanie acknowledged on Twitter that she saw Keibler at the taping & that she looked better than ever. They met for 15-20 minutes. Keibler is said to have been reluctant in the past to return but the offer WWE made is lucrative enough that she has been giving it serious consideration.

Fans Claim They Were Kicked Out For Chanting “CM Punk” During Raw – Confirmed Reports Of Signs Being Confiscated
By Raj Giri WrestlingInc.com
There are a couple of people on Twitter claiming that they were kicked out of tonight’s RAW for chanting for CM Punk. One of the tweets claimed that WWE kicked nearly 40 people out of the arena tonight.We have received several reports from readers stating that they didn’t see anyone kicked out for chanting for Punk at tonight’s show. If there were that many people ejected, someone would have noticed. One reader noted that the most they saw were just a few signs being confiscated, but they couldn’t tell if they were signs for Punk. They noted that there were Punk signs in the crowd through the entire episode.Another reader noted that they were in a section with a lot of CM Punk chants, and nothing happened the entire night.WrestlingINC.com reader @nealobermeyer stated that the building was pretty full when the show ended, and if 40 people were kicked out, “there would have been a riot.” He also noted that the person with the “My Other CM Punk Sign Got Confiscated” on RAW, which you can check out below, had that sign confiscated as well.
S/o to the guy holding the "My Other CM Punk Sign Got Confiscated" sign! Very funny #Raw pic.twitter.com/4QgOvbBxnB

RAW Preview
The Shield seemed to be falling apart after the Royal Rumble, but a potential implosion was stopped, or at least delayed, when The Hounds of Justice set their sights The Wyatt Family after the freaky trio cost The Shield their trip into the Elimination Chamber. With one more faction in WWE left to topple, can the men in black pull themselves together?
The Prime Time Player’s are no more. Om SmackDown they loss to Ryback & Curtis Axel & Titus O’Neil blamed Darren Young. O’Neil said is tired of being a loser. O’Neil assaulted his former friend. What’s next for the former partners?
Cody Rhodes & Goldust get another shot at reclaiming the WWE Tag Team Championships from The New Age Outlaws after an enraged Brock Lesnar interrupted their last shot. WWE COO Triple H granted them a rematch tonight on RAW inside a steel cage.
Alberto Del Rio’s promise to embarrass Batista in the Royal Rumble didn’t quite work out. Del Rio has now vowed to ensure that The Animal doesn’t make it to WrestleMania. Will Del Rio find his mark & hit Batista where he lives? Or is The Animal truly ready for anything Del Rio can throw at him?
The Yes Movement has begun. Daniel Bryan has taken his first step toward the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by claiming one of the six spots in the Elimination Chamber Match & the WWE Universe have firmly placed themselves at his back. With John Cena, Sheamus, Antonio Cesaro, Christian & current champion Randy Orton opposing him, his path to WrestleMania’s main event against Batista is anything but guaranteed. Can Bryan keep his momentum going?
