– It was announced on RAW this week that Christian has joined WWE's flagship brand. The former ECW Champion battled Carlito in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match and won, earning an opportunity to compete in the Ladder Match at WrestleMania. Additionally, it was announced on the company website that Yoshi Tatsu has signed on with Raw as well. He took part in a Six-Man Tag Team Match last night.
– Last night on RAW, Maryse finally won the finals of the Divas Championship Tournament to become the new WWE Divas Champion. She beat Gail Kim in a three-minute bout to complete the tournament that started last month after Melina vacated the title due to injury. In a backstage exclusive note, that match was postponed several times as there were times creative had it set and then changed it at the last minute.
