While discussing the RAW 25th Anniversary show on the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez revealed that this Monday’s event is supposed to be bigger than the RAW after WrestleMania.

“I’ve been told that at least in terms of production and individuals being brought in and ideas and pitches RAW 25 will be bigger than the traditional night after WrestleMania RAW,” Alvarez explained.

“Will you like it better? I don’t know, that’s up to you. But the way they’re putting it together it is a bigger event and higher priority than the post-Mania RAW.”

Dave Meltzer indicated in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that ultimately it was not John Layfield’s actions that caused Mauro Ranallo to leave WWE earlier this year but rather the culture that has been headed by Vince McMahon.

The belief is that JBL’s part was the final straw for Mauro. However, it’s worth mentioning that some of the remarks that made Mauro upset were actually fed to JBL during the broadcasts and not entirely his doing.

Regarding Mauro’s terms to return to the company, he will work with Michael Cole and Triple H instead of having to deal with Vince McMahon.
