If you missed it last night, Seth Rollins appeared on "The Daily Show" to set up host Jon Stewart coming to Raw this Monday when it's taped at the Prudential Center. The episode will replay all day on Comedy Central.

WWE will return to Japan on 7/3 and 7/4 it was announced yesterday locally. Tickets will go on sale on 4/11. Both shows will take place at Sumo Hall. One would assume Hideo Itami will be on the tour.

Here is this week's WWE Smackdown Fallout:

WWE added Brian Kendrick to the NXT roster page, as they did with Rhyno last week. I have not heard either has been signed to a long-term deal with the company.

Announced for next week's WWE NXT is Sami Zayn's first comments since losing the NXT title.

Officially competing in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 31 are Adam Rose, Fandango, The Miz, Curtis Axel and Ryback.

Bret Hart: The Dungeon Collection, which was a hell of a DVD, will be airiing tonight on the WWE Network.

Sasha Banks noted online that she's been scanned for the new WWE 2K16 videogame. 2K Sports has been doing motion capture work for the game over the last week in California.

David Otunga was interviewed by The Chicago Tribune about his new role as one of the analysts on the Monday Night Raw Pre-Show on the WWE Network at this link. Otunga noted he had been away as he needed to spend more time with his wife and his son and the current role isn't much different from his appearances on Headline News where he offers legal commentary. Otunga noted he's wanting to get back into the ring down the line.
