WWE News: Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Scott Hall and Tuesday's Top WWE News

The good news for WWE fans is, when Brock Lesnar takes a day off, John Laurinaitis will be there to replace him. That was the case last night on RAW, and the results, unsurprisingly, were not very good. 

Cena is still in that territory where it seems like he has no idea what to do in order to build a match that people care about, and Laurinaitis has been a dork for so long that it's impossible to take him seriously. 

At least next week Lesnar will be back because his promo was awesome and he is doing his best to sell a match and feud. 

That tangent aside, we will have all the latest news, notes and information from the wacky world of professional wrestling to get you set for the SmackDown tapings tonight. 

JOHNNY ACE BURIES JOHN CENA IN FAVOR OF BROCK LESNAR

In keeping with the time-honored tradition of building feuds on the Internet, WWE had a John Laurinaitis interview up on the Web site where he said Lesnar is the "new face" of the company and that Cena is not the athlete Lesnar is. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Why is WWE into burying Cena right now?

Our Take: It is an interesting angle to take, though you could also surmise it as the company trying to make him more human. After all those years of making him Superman, WWE wants him to be Clark Kent.

Whatever the purpose of billing Lesnar as a superior athlete, as long as the match at Extreme Rules is good, which it should be thanks to the hot crowd in Chicago, everything should be OK.

SCOTT HALL'S EX-WIFE COMMENTS ON HIS SITUATION

The unfortunate tale of Scott Hall just seems to keep spiraling out of control, with his ex-wife Dana making comments about how she doesn't believe the former WWE star and his girlfriend have a peaceful and amicable relationship. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Does this make Hall look worse?

Our Take: Not exactly. She does say that Hall's current relationship is not healthy, but there is not a lot in her statement that we didn't already know or couldn't figure out based on his past history.

Hall is not the only wrestler to have problems in his personal life, but it is amazing to see him constantly slipping on the banana peel. He takes two steps up the mountain, then falls back down five steps.

WWE SAYS WRESTLEMANIA 28 WAS HUGE

One of the biggest questions coming out of WrestleMania 28 was, how successful was the show going to be? It turns out quite successful, as the company stated on Monday that the show set a new WWE record with 1.3 million buys. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Will WrestleMania keep growing?

Our Take: This was a special year because you had the return of The Rock. (No one actually cared about Survivor Series because Miz and R-Truth don't matter.) If WWE can have Rock, or a star as big as him, headlining WrestleMania 29, it should at least approach that territory again. 

Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Legitimate Records

Unlike the attendance records that WWE throws around, which are bogus, this is a huge accomplishment for the company. The business as a whole is down, but when you have the right main event and at least a good build for WrestleMania, it will still be huge.

MICK FOLEY AND DEAN AMBROSE INTERNET FEUD HEATS UP

One of the more interesting feuds right now is the one building between Mick Foley and Dean Ambrose. They have gone back and forth on television and the Internet, with Foley taking the latest shots in his blog, saying he doesn't trust the new star because he didn't honor a request to keep his children out of their feud. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Will this be Foley's retirement feud?

Our Take: There is no doubt Foley is on his last wrestling legs. By putting him in a match with a new star who can use the rub to get over, at least to some degree, Foley would be doing a great thing for the business. 

Hype Meter: 4 out of 5 Sock Puppets

Foley has been used as strictly a comedy figure since returning to WWE last year, but at least he can get serious when he has to. Ambrose has been doing solid work so far with Foley, and for him to get a rub against someone like that could work wonders for his career.
