Ratings for Monday Night Raw and Total Bellas should be released sometime today.  They were delayed due to the President's Day holiday on Monday.

Announced for the Wrestlemania Cruiserweight title match tournament on next week's episode of 205 Live is Kalisto vs. Tony Nese and Brian Kendrick vs. Drew Gulak.

Fighting with My Family will begin screenings tomorrow evening nationally.  The Rock and Director Stephen Merchant took part in a Q&A discussing the film:

Rey Mysterio was interviewed by Al Jazeera, discussing how he hopes to inspire Latin pride in today's America, at this link.  "Doing my part in the entertainment world to be able to be a distraction whether for a second or forever for my people, it's a blessing to be able to do that," Mysterio said. "It's very hard to have everybody tuned in in the same state of mind, where we all get equal opportunities and we all get equal love from each and every race that is out there. Unfortunately, some people do not think that way."  Mysterio did not appear on last night's episode of Smackdown Live but did work Monday's Smackdown live event.

Comedian Ken Jeong noted that "John Cena sucks" while doing a bit about hosting Monday Night Raw and getting hurt when he was tossed out of the ring and none of the wrestlers who were supposed to catch him actually did.

WKYC-TV featured a piece on Cleveland native Johnny Gargano debuting on Raw at this link.
