There was talk of putting the WWE Divas Championship on AJ Lee. While it hasn’t been officially announced, the title match is expected to take place at next month’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view. One of the supporters of strapping AJ stated it would be of value for both her and Dolph Ziggler to hold singles titles.

It was Kevin Dunn’s idea to include footage from The Shield’s helicopter landing in London.

While Undertaker is known for not being very verbal backstage unless it directly involves him, he was vocal after his match with The Shield. He praised the trio “in front of everyone” and put over Daniel Bryan for his work. One observer said Undertaker thought they all did “great.”

William Regal was selected as the opponent of Fandango to do the best possible job at trying to keep Fandango heel with the European audience. WWE was expecting a pop, so they fought fire with fire.

- UFC fighter Chael Sonnen tells TMZ that he wants to buy WWE when he retires from MMA fighting. Chael's rep told TMZ that he's not joking and has already met with "bigwig friends in the investment world to enact his takeover."

A WWE rep told TMZ:

"We are a publicly traded company, so [Chael is] more than welcome to purchase shares of WWE stock and become one of our valued shareholders."

- The Wrestling Observer reports that a key official is under the impression WrestleMania 29 generated approximately 750,000 North American PPV buys. This is slightly above last year's event which ended up totaling over 1 million buys.

After WrestleMania 29, WWE noted the event drew a reported $72 million, an increase of about $5 million from last year. This makes WrestleMania an event that has gone from making $20-25 million to around $40 million in a few years. Of the $67 million WrestleMania generated last year, WWE itself took in approximately $36.2 million.
