PWInsider.com is reporting that the reason The Undertaker is back on Raw this coming week, as well as an earlier return for Brock Lesnar, is dealt specifically with the loss of CM Punk.

The original plan for CM Punk was for him to come out after Wrestlemania 29 and complain about his loss to The Undertaker. This would follow up with him walking out on the company. The final decision to hold him off was because the post-Wrestlemania crowd would have most likely cheered him, which is something WWE did not want. Another reason is that CM Punk was very upset with the wording of his promo, which caused some frustration.

About three weeks ago, CM Punk had a massive argument with the top WWE creative officials and was considering quitting the company. Obviously, they worked out their differences and CM Punk was able to work TV show and Wrestlemania. This was also another reason why he was taken off of live events, along with his body being banged up.

There is no set timetable for his return, but it looks like WWE will hold him off until late Summer, potentially leading up to Summerslam in August.

At Monday's RAW from Greenville, South Carolina, a fan reportedly held up a "RAW Is Generico" sign and was moved by security, taken from his paid seat to the opposite side of the arena and a seat filler took his seat at ringside. The fan asked security why he was being moved and was told the people running the show didn't want him sitting there because of his sign.

The fan reportedly asked if they could just take the sign and let him sit at ringside but was told by a security guard that he was about to be kicked out because the people running the show, presumably WWE officials, didn't want him there. Another guard told the fan that wasn't correct, they just didn't want him in front of the camera. Apparently another man who was sitting with the fan also had his seats changed after he was seen holding up a sign related to Ring of Honor.

Standing alongside Florida Gov. Rick Scott, WWE COO Triple H announced the establishment of a state-of-the-art WWE Performance Center on Thursday. The 26,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open in Orlando this summer, will provide a new home for WWE?s developmental system, NXT, and further increases the company?s presence in the Sunshine State, while also creating more than 100 high-wage jobs.

The top-line facility will house seven wrestling rings, a world-class gym, and high-tech production and edit suites that will help evolve WWE?s partnership with Full Sail University, whose students exclusively edit and produce weekly, internationally-broadcast installments of WWE NXT at the university?s Full Sail Live facility. The center will also offer a best-in-class sports medicine program that effectively turns the performance center into a home base of sorts for both active and developmental WWE talent to receive care.

Cool, Botchamania content. Nice way to copy PRIDE, guys.

WCW, actually. They did it back in 1991 (it was known as the Refer-eye Cam). Back then, the refs wore helmets with cameras on them. I'm guessing this time around, it'll be tiny cameras placed on the refs' shirts. Well, we can only hope...

I hope its unedited going to be funny when you hear the wrestlers tell each other what move is coming next

Nah, there probably won't be any audio from the ref cam; just hear the normal action.

Oh, and speaking of calling spots, that's missing from that Cena picture. ;) Whenever Botchamania does the "Everybody Talks Too Much" segment, Cena shows up on most of them. :p

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
