WWE News And Rumors For Feb 17, 2011
By Reporter / WrestleSite.com
-If Alberto Del Rio wins the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 27, he will be only the second heel to have won the Royal Rumble and then followed it up with a title win at WrestleMania. Yokozuna was the first, winning the 1993 Royal Rumble and the WWE Title from Bret Hart, only to lose the belt to Hulk Hogan seconds later.
Del Rio is expected to win the belt at WrestleMania. The original plan called for him to win it at the Royal Rumble but it was pushed back.
- The Rock's new Twitter account was launched by the same group that launched UFC President Dana White's account. The new account already has over 112,000 followers. On Monday night after he plugged it on RAW, Rock's Facebook page was gaining hundreds of fans by the second for a few minutes. The Rock and Dwayne Johnson are still trending topics on Yahoo, Google and other sites.
This week's RAW with The Rock's return ranked #3 on cable TV for Monday night, behind The History Channel's American Pickers and Pawn Stars.
This week's show scored it's highest rating of the year and the highest in eight weeks for the Male 18-34 demographic, going back to the December 20th RAW after TLC. In the Male 18-49 demographic, RAW did it's highest rating of the year and highest in 12 weeks, going back to the November 22nd show after Survivor Series.
In the Male 12-34 demographic, RAW was about equal with last week's show but was down 15% in the Male 12-17 demo. From the January 31st RAW until this week's RAW, there has been a 25% drop in the Male 12-17 demographic.
If it seems like Sheamus has been de-pushed lately, it's because Kevin Dunn is not a fan of the former WWE Champion. When Sheamus ran away from Nexus a few months back, this led to Dunn having the idea that Sheamus would be wearing the attire that he currently wears.
- People were shocked backstage at the February 7th RAW when neither Kevin Dunn or Vince McMahon ordered wide shots on camera angles and zoomed in on CM Punk's bloody face after his nose was broken.
