-- As noted earlier here on the website, WWE wants to induct The Undertaker into the 2015 Hall of Fame if he decides not to wrestle at WrestleMania 31. Either way, they are planning on Undertaker making an appearance in some capacity. That’s why he was included in advertisements even though it’s unknown if he’ll wrestle.
WWE is still hoping he will compete and are preparing Bray Wyatt to be his opponent.

-- As noted earlier here on the website, some new details on Rey Mysterio’s current relationship with WWE have been released. As we posted on Monday, Mysterio was brought to Buffalo, New York for Monday’s episode of RAW. This is after the company contacted him just before the Mexican tour, asking him to come back for it as advance ticket sales were initially low. Mysterio made it clear at that time that he did not want to come back.
According to sources, Mysterio still does not want to come back but the creative team is still trying to come up with ideas for him. Part of why Mysterio wants to work outside of the company is due to the fact that he saw the former Sin Cara able to call his own shots and command a high price ($5,000 per match) for working in Mexico. Mysterio is also confident that he could make very good money as one of Lucha Underground’s flagship stars.
Back when Mysterio’s deal expired about six months ago, he actually shook hands with Triple H and the two thanked each other for their time together like it was over. However, Vince McMahon made the call to have Mysterio’s contract extended for another year due to the time he didn’t work due to his injuries. It's basically a case of WWE is going to use him while they have him under contract despite the fact that he doesn't want to be there. He has no plans to re-up with WWE when his current con tract expires. It'll be interesting to see how they use him and whether they "job" him out and have him "put over" younger talents.

-- When guys get tryouts in WWE nowadays, they are told to be careful what they say in social media, particularly anything that could potentially get them in trouble.
The most notable situation of this was with Mark and Jay Briscoe, where they wrote a gay slur on Twitter, despite apologizing for it after the fact, WWE wouldn't touch either of them. Their current employer - Ring of Honor - also forced them to apologize for the tweet. Jay Briscoe actually came out during a live event and cut a promo apologizing for the tweet. For those unaware, ROH President Cary Silkin is openly gay.
