WrestlingObserver.com says that WWE is papering the final 5000 or so seats left in order to fill up the stadium (the first time they’ve had to in over 15 years). Also: WWE talent has not only been told not to go to competitors’ events, but not to be seen with their stars in photos, etc. Robbie McAllister was called or texted immediately after being seen on TV told to get out of there.

Finally, Brian Fritz reported to the Observer that Flair said if he loses he will not wrestle again, ever, but may manage; that everyone from all three rosters (except Robbie) were told to be at Raw; and that John Layfield will induct the Brisco Brothers.
