- Big Show vs. Braun Strowman was announced for next week's episode of Monday Night Raw from Los Angeles, CA.

- WWE Universal champion Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns is being advertised as the main event of the 3/20 Raw taping in Brooklyn, NY at the Barclays Center locally.

- WWE will be running a Raw taping in Louisville, Kentucky for the first time in many years on 4/18. WWE had pulled out of doing PPVs and TV tapings in the state for many years because of a State Athletic Commission rule that required the immediate stoppage of any wrestling bout with errant blood So, if John Cena got a bloody nose in the main event of a PPV, for example, the bout would have to be stopped - obviously WWE could not have that happen on a TV production. Now that the rule has been removed, they are beginning to film TV in the Bluegrass State again.

- Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals was in attendance at Raw last night. Harper is a Las Vegas native.

- Former WWE exec and ECW performer Lou "Sign Guy Dudley" was backstage at Raw last night with his daughter, so he had the chance to reunite with D-Von Dudley.

- Tony Nese returned to action last night during WWE Main Event taping. The word backstage was he was dealing with a bruised heel.

- On Monday, WWE issued a number of SEC filings noting that several WWE executives received performance bonus stock. The most were Kevin Dunn who acquired 239,233 shares, Michelle Wilson with 232,157 shares and George Barrios who acquired 231,780 shares.

- WWE will bring a live taping of SmackDown Live to KFC Yum Center in Louisville, KY on April 18th. Tickets goes on sale this Friday at 10AM.
