Note for Elite subscribers: Paul Crockett and I will be recording a Raw Post-Game show in the morning.  I apologize for the late nature of the posting but I had an awful travel day coming off an extremely busy Wrestlemania weekend and really need to catch up on some sleep. 

Some notes from the post-Wrestlemania Raw:

WWE United States champion Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho is set for the 5/21 Backlash PPV in Chicago, IL.

As had been expected, Kurt Angle was named the new Raw General Manager was on Raw from Orlando.   

Angle will be heavily involved in what was announced as a "Superstar Shakeup" next week from Long Island. NY.  As PWInsider.com reported prior to Wrestlemania in the Elite section, this is not expected to be a full draft but something where talents will be traded back and forth between Raw and Smackdown. 

Finn Balor made his official return to the Raw roster tonight.

Former WWE NXT Tag Team champions The Revival, who are one of the best teams in the world, officially debuted on Raw as well, defeating and laying out The New Day.

Emma also returned to the Raw roster, back to her pre-injury heel persona.
