- World Wrestling Entertainment results from the RAW broadcast at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO, on March 23: Ric Flair, on behalf of Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, and Roddy Piper, accepts the challenge of a 3-on-1 match featuring those three against Chris Jericho at WrestleMania – and then gets attacked by Jericho; Jeff Hardy over Dolph Ziggler in an extreme rules match; Kofi Kingston, Christian, CM Punk & MVP over Shelton Benjamin, Mark Henry, Finlay & Kane; Edge versus the Big Show ended in a no contest, with Chavo Guerrero, Jr., getting involved; Rey Mysterio, Jr., over William Regal; Mickie James over Santino Marella in an inter-gender match; Jerry Lawler calls out Jericho; and the three-on-one match featuring Triple H versus Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, Jr., never happened, as Legacy managed to handcuff HHH to the ropes, resulting in a brutal beatdown that also involved Stephanie McMahon, and included Orton kissing an unconscious Stephanie.


- Shawn Michaels says in the April edition of WWE Magazine that he is considering asking Bret Hart to induct him into the Hall of Fame when he retires. Michaels was quoted as saying: "My instincts say Triple H, or Ric Flair, but I'm always looking for something different. I've thought of my wife. I've thought of Kevin Nash, or my son, when he's older. I thought of Vince--he could talk about how it was to have me work for him. I'm sure I was difficult. It's funny; I've even thought of Bret Hart ... I sometimes think, 'Will he ever make peace with me?' I'm not in denial about what happened in Montreal. I'm OK that I was that way, but that doesn't make it right. It's still wrong, but it is what it is. There's nothing I can change about that, and I don't want to pretend it didn't happen. It's something that really bothered me. But in the end, I want to be inducted without all the fluff. I want the truth."
