Chris Jericho

Shawn Michaels, who suffered a torn triceps during an angle with Chris Jericho on Sunday night at the Raw taping, joins John Cena (herniated disc) and Randy Orton (broken collarbone) on the list of Raw stars on the injured list. It would be a devastating blow for WWE if Michaels were to miss Sunday's show and be out for an extended period of time. Not only because it is another significant hit to the Raw roster, but also because the Michaels-Jericho program has had such an excellent buildup.

1 Ready to rumble: WWE's WrestleMania XXV (7 p.m., pay per view) has champ Triple H (left) vs. Randy Orton, and Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka and Ricky Steamboat vs. Chris Jericho. 2 Women's: Final Four: Louisville (33-4) meets Oklahoma (32-4) at 7 p.m., and Connecticut (37-0) faces Stanford (33-4) at 9:30. Both games are on ESPN. 3 Showtime: The real season begins with the Braves meeting the world champion Phillies in Philadelphia (8 p.m., ESPN2). 4 Motorin': It's the Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway (1:30 p.m., chs. 45, 5)

Two major developments unfolded on Monday's episode of WWE RAW. The first was a big one in many ways - Paul Heyman revealed a new client, Michael McGillicutty, now known as Curtis Axel (Curtis after his father "Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, Axel after his grandfather Larry "The Axe" Hennig). Though many fans complained about it not being a bigger name (RVD was speculated throughout the day), this is a great move and an even greater opportunity for a superstar to not only have instant credibility being aligned with Paul Heyman (arguably the greatest mouthpiece in pro wrestling history)

The past 27 hours have truly represented just how much of a "tale of two wrestling companies" fans are living in the United States right now. On Sunday night, TNA Wrestling presented its Destination X pay-per-view, a wrestling-centric outing with a clear focus on the in-ring product and an emotional conclusion to a world title match. Tonight on Raw, WWE continued the build to this Sunday's Money in the Bank pay-per-view with a large emphasis on the very soap opera-inspired issues between WWE Champion CM Punk, his challenger Daniel Bryan and the woman stuck in the middle of them both, AJ. The two shows could not have had a more different build, at least as it pertains to the main event contests.

Baltimore Sun Ring Posts columnist and theScore Television Network on-air personality Arda Ocal sat down recently with Diamond Dallas Page. Among the topics discussed were: * DDP Yoga. How Shawn Michaels was the first WWE superstar to use it after injury, how Chris Jericho caught wind and is now the unofficial ambassador for the product and how other WWE superstars have also started using it. * How Dave Grohl, front man for the Foo Fighters and former drummer for Nirvana, was very upset at DDP and WCW over his "Self High Five" theme music and how Grohl almost sued WCW. * Thoughts on Randy Orton using the RKO (essentially DDP's "Diamond Cutter")

Here are some excerpts from my interview with former WWE star Chris Jericho, who will make a guest appearance at the Maryland Championship Wrestling show tonight in Dundalk. On Chris Benoit: "It's hard to separate the man that did these terrible, horrible crimes from the guy that I knew who was like a big brother to me, who was a great friend, a great mentor and a great influence on me." On when he will return to wrestling full time and which company he will sign with: "I haven't really even come that close to getting into specifics of when or where.

Ever since the day after WrestleMania, when "Fandangoing" became a thing, we knew that when WWE returned to the United Kingdom just weeks later, that it would all resume. Sure, the Fandango theme singing craze took a dip in between, but it's genesis was truly fans in the United Kingdom who made the trip to WrestleMania. So it comes as no surprise that the singing and dancing was out in full force on WWE Raw. I think WWE did a great job with the trend and weaving it into the show -- from using the theme song as a distraction for Chris Jericho in his match against Dolph Ziggler to having Fandango match up against William Regal (perhaps one of the only guys on the roster who could shift the crowd's attention)

Here are my predictions for WWE Extreme Rules:  BROCK LESNAR VS. TRIPLE H: CAGE MATCH I think Brock Lesnar needs the win here, because I see him continuing on for another big match, while I see Triple H returning in the future only if absolutely necessary. Perhaps Paul Heyman's "newest" client (or clients) interferes in this match, helping Lesnar get the win. Because it's a cage match, neither superstar has to be pinned or submitted, one can simply exit through the cage, which means that the loser doesn't look as weak in a loss.
