It was revealed during Monday’s edition of WWE RAW, which was the “go-home” show for this Sunday’s WWE Money In The Bank pay-per-view that Daniel Bryan will appear on the “Kickoff Show” to address being stripped of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

In addition to that, it was recently announced that Bryan will be answering questions from fans during the pre-show as well. Fans interested in submitting questions for the leader of the “Yes! Movement” can do so on Twitter with the hashtag: #WWEKICKOFF.

Speaking of the “Kickoff Show” for this Sunday’s pay-per-view, the expert panel for the evening will include Renee Young, Booker T, Alex Riley and Christian. As noted earlier today, Josh Mathews, who generally hosts these panels, was released from the company.

There is still no definitive word as to when Christian will be making his return to the ring after suffering two concussions in the past year.

There are those within WWE that have suggested Christian be hired as a producer/agent for the company when his contract as an active performer expires.

As noted in the past, the talk within WWE was that Christian is expected to be phasing down his in-ring career this year even prior to suffering the second concussion.

– Today’s wrestling birthdays include WWE Diva Natalya (32) and Eric Bischoff (59).

– NXT stars Simon Gotch, Braun Stowan, Becky Lynch and producer Ryan Katz appeared on RAW as Adam Rose’s Rosebuds.

– Former WWE star Johnny Jeter of Spirit Squad fame announced on Facebook yesterday that he recently got engaged.

– Christian is ready to return to action, according to Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer radio show. In the past, WWE has been in no rush to bring Christian back to television when he’s recovered for an injury, but he could be back soon.

– WWE’s decision to hold a tournament to determine the #1 contender to Big E’s Intercontinental Championship was made the day of the show. The original plan was for Christian to be named the #1 contender, but he has not been medically cleared to wrestle.

– WWE held a press conference at the Smith and Wollensky steakhouse in New York City on Tuesday to promote Thursday’s premiere of Legends House on the WWE Network. They also screened the first episode. Newsday.com interviewed Rowdy Roddy Piper at the event, who said:

“First thing, I’m uncomfortable. There are some things I forgot – uncomfortable. I think it’s very authentic. Like nobody there is trying to pretend ‘I’m this,’ or ‘I gotta live up to this.’ Everybody in there has been around long enough, they’re just kind of being themselves, like we are here. Nobody’s putting up any airs.”

According to sources close to the show’s production, Legends House was barely scripted (in comparison to other reality tV shows) and the talent was not instructed how to act in each scene.

– The reason Christian was not involved in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX on Sunday night was du to the fact that he is still recovering from a concussion that he suffered during a match on WWE RAW several weeks ago.

Part one features JR’s look back at WrestleMania I through WrestleMania IX, with comments from past WWE Superstars and executives who were part of the events. You can check out the feature at FOXSports.com.

– As previously reported, WWE scrapped the planned Intercontinental Championship match between Big E. and Christian on Tuesday’s live edition of WWE Main Event. The reason given was that Christian had suffered a “slight concussion” at RAW, which resulted in a triple-threat match taking place between Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus. Ziggler would go on to win the bout, earning himself a shot at Big E., a match that he would go on to lose in the evening’s main event.

The following are results of this week’s WWE Main Event, which took place at the TD Garden in Boston and aired live on the WWE Network.

– Dolph Ziggler def. Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio in a triple-threat match to become the new number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship. Ziggler will get to challenge Big E. for the title later tonight.

– A Bad News Barrett segment takes place with Barrett talking about John Cena being freaked out by Bray Wyatt the same way the fans get freaked out when they look in the mirror. He suggests everyone should wear a sheep mask because of their bad looks.

– Big E. def. Dolph Ziggler to retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship in the main event of the evening.
