Update On WWE Possibly Retiring The World Title Belt On RAW, NXT Speculation Before RAW

- Regarding speculation that WWE retired the World Heavyweight Title belt at last night's RAW, PWInsider couldn't confirm the belt is retired and as of this writing, WWE has made no mention of the belt's status. When Ric Flair returned backstage from the segment with John Cena, he gave the belt back to WWE and did not leave the building with it.

- There was some rumblings among WWE NXT talents on Monday that there was a NXT-related angle planned for RAW. This is likely due to the fact that several NXT talents were backstage. NXT trainer Bill DeMott even tweeted out a teaser before RAW:

"For some reason I feel like everyone should be getting ready to watch #Raw ........#NXTMeansbusiness"
