Backstage News On Daniel Bryan Leaving The Wyatts, WM XXX Ticket Sales Update, Chris Jericho

- The plan all along was to turn Daniel Bryan on The Wyatt Family but it was more of a longterm plan, until things changed and they did the big angle on RAW. The "Yes!" chants at the Michigan State game were said to be a big decision in WWE turning Bryan back babyface early. There wasn't any kind of great debate or big decision making regarding turning Bryan back this week.

- WWE has sold around 55,000 tickets for WrestleMania XXX, which is very good. The legitimate capacity for the set-up they have at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans is 70,000, although WWE will likely claim a figure of 82,000 or more. The building attendance record is 87,500 for a Rolling Stones concert in 1981.

- Regarding Chris Jericho's return possibly being leaked on elevator ads in Toronto and in The Winnipeg Sun newspaper, WWE officials say the newspaper advertisement was a mistake and they are denying the elevator ads exist. Within WWE, some people are under the impression Jericho is returning for WrestleMania XXX season while some say he is not.
