– You can add Wendi Richter to the list of former female performers who won't be appearing at WrestleMania XXV. The former WWE Women's Champion has declined the company's invitation to appear at the 25-Diva Battle Royal in Houston. It would have been her first appearance in a WWE ring since losing the belt via screwjob to The Fabulous Moolah on November 25, 1985.

– Here is an updated list of the former female performers who will definitely not be appearing in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV:

- Amy "Lita" Dumas (declined offer)

- Nora "Molly Holly" Greenwald (declined offer to wrestle, but will be on hand during WrestleMania weekend)

- Wendi Richter (declined offer)

- Terri Runnels (said she has no interest in wrestling)

- Ashley Massaro (unable to appear due to personal reasons)

- Debra (has denied reports of a possible appearance at WrestleMania)

- Rena "Sable" Lesnar (pregnant)

- Dawn Marie (pregnant)

– Last night's edition of Monday Night Raw drew a 3.6 cable rating, down from last week's 3.7 number. The show did hours of 3.56 and 3.67. This continues a declining trend as the show drew a 3.8 rating for the 3/2 show, and 4.1 ratings for the 2/16 & 2/23 shows.
