Mar 24, 2015 - by Staff

– Below are the top 10 moments from last night’s WWE RAW:

– Christian and Alex Riley will be Booker T’s guests on his Heated Conversations podcast this coming Saturday night. He’s taking questions for them on Twitter at @BookerT5x.

– It’s worth noting that Brock Lesnar was first referred to as “Brock Leslar” by anchor Lindsay Czarniak on ESPN SportsCenter this afternoon before they went to commercial and Lesnar made his big announcement about re-signing with WWE. Czarniak did get Lesnar’s name right before turning the show over to Michelle Beadle for the interview when they came back from commercial. This led to “Brock Leslar” trending on Twitter.

– WWE issued the following today on the WWE Network launching in the Middle East and North Africa:
