The Boss believes the women of WWE are ready to take it to the next level
Sasha Banks, the current WWE Women’s Champion, opened up about the fact that she believes the female Superstars of this generation are getting more opportunities than before and combined with the considerable amount of talented women in WWE and the fact that women’s wrestling is being taken more seriously in the current era, we should expect to see women in the WrestleMania main event in the near future.
Sasha commented, “We are not Divas anymore. We are Superstars. We are equal. We are proving every single week that we can do it better than the guys and I prove it every time I go out there.”
Triple H reveals plans for Cruiserweight division on RAW and NXT
Triple H is running things from behind the scenes, it seems, as he has not been appearing on Raw or Smackdown Live! since WrestleMania. There has been word from Triple H however, that Raw is getting its share of cruiserweight wrestlers soon and that most of them will be working on Raw’s new cruiserweight division and also NXT live shows. Although Triple H won’t probably be appearing on television for a while, there are rumors that he will face Shane McMahon in the ring and the loser will have to leave WWE.
Pro Wrestling RESULTS of the week:

During the Lesnar-Slater segment, Lesnar’s usage of the line S*** about (Slater’s) kids was not mentioned in the script, according to the latest wrestling observer newsletter. It’s interesting to note that Lesnar’s contract has certain provisions detailing what he can and cannot be punished for, and he has not been punished for the line. Also, there has been an internal talk among the fans that WWE have been treating the superstars differently, with high stature Superstars getting more freedom than the lower ranked and mid-card stars.
Superstars like Lesnar and Cena, have a much longer leash when it comes to abiding by any kind of script. Although the line popped the crowd, there is no doubt that around 80 percent of the locker room would have been fired by the WWE after a comment like that on live TV.
The current betting odds for Sunday’s event are as follows
Due to some things that happened this Thursday on @IMPACTWRESTLING . It seems I can't talk about things yet due to some legal BS.

Is James Storm done with TNA? It seems like that, because at yesterday’s TV tapings for Impact Wrestling, Storm after his match with Bram, said that he had fulfilled his obligations for TNA due to some “bullsh*t contract stuff” that took place behind-the-scenes.
Storm said that he wanted his last match to be against Bram, and teased a possible NXT return by saying that he might be teaming up with an old friend real soon, which as we all know is Bobby Roode. Storm thanked the fans for supporting him.
Storm, the next day sent out a tweet saying that he can’t talk about things because of legal BS.

Brock Lesnar got flamed for going off-script. WWE management doesn’t seem to care
In a recent segment on RAW, Heath Slater came out to the ring saying that he wanted to fight Lesnar for a WWE RAW contract. Both Heyman and Lesnar laughed in his face and when slater persevered saying he needed to contract to support his kids to which Lesnar replies that he didn’t give a s**t about his kids, which was completely off-script, before subjecting slater to a barrae of suplexes and an F5.
Other members of the WWE roster have gotten fired for going off-script in smaller ways and this brings up the notion that top-level Superstars like John Cena and Brock Lesnar are treated differently than others and that they are even above the Wellness Policies for which stars like Paige, Alberto and Roman Reigns were suspended.
