- As seen on Monday's Raw in Manchester, England, the show concluded with The Shield battling The Wyatt Family in a short-lived brawl before both parties turned their attention to the babyfaces. Despite Monday's event, don't expect the nefarious factions to feud quite yet.

During tonight's episode of SmackDown (which has already aired overseas), a video package airs highlighting the heated conclusion of Raw and the brawl is not shown. According to F4WOnline.com today, people within the organization feel it was a tease that will be touched again early next year. Meanwhile, Dave Meltzer stated in this week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that creative had suggested they duel at WrestleMania XXX.

- WWE officials are once again interested in having Rey Mysterio face Sin Cara at WrestleMania XXX, with hopes of breaking the world record for the most people wearing a mask in one area.

Though Sin Cara has not appeared on WWE programming since August, his merchandise is reporting selling very well.

- For those wondering, there has been no talk within WWE about having CM Punk and Daniel Bryan feud against each other, including a match between the two at WrestleMania XXX.

I had considered that..I think they could get away with face vs face simply because it's WM30.

I guess Cena is main eventing!

- More than one source has confirmed to PWInsider that WWE officials have discussed a Hulk Hogan and John Cena tag team for WrestleMania XXX. Cena vs. Randy Orton has also been discussed, believe it or not.

- WWE officials reportedly made a lot of changes to the early WrestleMania XXX plans last week. There is ongoing talk about how they have changed so many directions in so little time and how there is really not a lot of long term direction.

To be fair, you can tell by just watching the product as of late that they're booking on the fly dang near every night. Don't need Meltzer or Wade Keller to know that.

- As noted, there has been a lot of changes to WrestleMania XXX plans within the last week. Word now is that they are building to a Triple H vs. CM Punk match either leading up to WrestleMania or at the big event itself.

[Kieran King]

"WWE is constantly changing their Wrestlemania plans" really equates to "Dirtsheets have no clue what is going to happen, but feel like posting about it anyway". That's not to say WWE hasn't changed their plans, but more and more of what is coming out of the dirtsheets isn't even close to being news, it's just pure speculation posted by one site and then reported by all of them.

- Regarding WWE's recent Vintage Collection show featured on Bill Goldberg, it has to do with WWE still having interest in bringing him back for a WrestleMania XXX match.

Regarding Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement for one more match, it's said the ball is in his court. WWE wants him to return for a singles match at WrestleMania XXX.

There is no talk of doing HBK vs. CM Punk and no talk of a potential tag match with HBK and Triple H vs. Punk and Daniel Bryan. If Shawn agrees to come out of retirement, WWE wants it to be for only one match and that match would be against Bryan. The segment with HBK and Punk on Monday's RAW was done so they could save the Punk-HHH confrontation.

Whether or not Shawn decides to return to the ring, expect to see a lot more of him on WWE TV going into WrestleMania XXX.

Regarding WrestleMania XXX, Hulk Hogan is not signed as of today but people are talking confidently about the idea he would be with the company and involved with the biggest pay-per-view of the year in some form. However, it is openly believed and talked about internally that Hogan is not expected to wrestle.

There's a feeling that even if officials wanted him to wrestle, he could not pass medical tests. Hogan most likely will not be teaming with John Cena and will likely do something like an appearance, a quick knock down to a heel and a promo.

Batista is also being talked about coming back internally.

At this point, Rob Van Dam is not in the WrestleMania plans but that could change.
