- During a recent interview with CBS0-19 in Cleveland, WWE Superstar Alex Riley was asked why he stopped appearing on television:

“I don’t know, it’s a very competitive company. There’s a lot of people here and a lot of talent. So you have to constantly re-invent yourself and constantly be entertaining on a daily basis and find new ways to entertain and I’m trying to do that" ...

"I was shoved into a main event spot very early in my career, which I don’t think a lot of people quite get that opportunity, so I was very lucky to get that opportunity. I wanna earn it, a lot of that had to do with Miz, so when I come back this time it’s going to be all me and I want to earn it.”

- The rating for Mondays WWE RAW was a 3.45. The show did 4.61 million viewers.

Jim Ross gave props to Michael Cole on Twitter this week, noting how valuable Cole is to the WWE product:

“Most don’t realize how valuable @MichaelCole is to #wwe. Helps produce @JerryLawler & keeps Texan @JCLayfield in line. Full time #Raw trio?”

Alex Riley does Miz's gimmick better than him, that's why they took that dude off TV

- CM Punk was backstage at Monday's RAW, despite the fact that he wasn't used on television. WWE kept him off TV to sell the effects of his match against The Undertaker, but Punk really was very banged up during the match.

Another reason he was kept off the show was the fact that WWE didn't want him getting a huge babyface reaction from the rowdy IZOD Center crowd. There had been talk of him doing a promo on the show, but the decision was made to feature Paul Heyman instead.

Punk is getting his knees checked out this week and reportedly had trouble walking around at RAW.

- The Undertaker, on the other hand, was said to be doing fine after WrestleMania 29. The angle filmed on RAW involving The Undertaker, Kane & Daniel Bryan vs. The Shield is looking to lead to a 6-man Hell in the Cell match at No Way Out.

They're gonna keep running Team Hell No into the ground for another three months?
