– WWE officials are very high on United States Champion Antonio Cesaro. He is seen as having a ton of potential as a top heel and WWE plans to continue pushing him hard in the coming weeks.
WWE’s recent signing of Cesaro’s girlfriend, Sara Del Rey, as a developmental trainer is another sign that management is pleased with him.
– Jim Ross noted on Twitter that his segment with CM Punk was the highest rated quarter-hour segment on Monday’s RAW:
#WWE Champ @CMPunk and my 'discussion' was highest rated QT hour on #RAW. I'm not asking anyone to pay for my damaged hat. Line of duty.

JR Ross also revealed that the cowboy hat CM Punk took off his head and stomped on was worth $700:
The hat @CMPunk stomped on was a $700 custom made 100% beaver made at Shorty's Ka-Boy Hattery in OKC Stockyards, for those asking. #WWE
