Backstage Update: The Rock's Return + Alex Riley-WWE

-- As noted earlier here on the website, the night after WrestleMania XXVII is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's next advertised appearance on Monday Night Raw. However, a company source is under the impression that he will appear live the week before the pay-per-view extravaganza.

-- Alex Riley is touring with the RAW brand for the second consecutive week since his on-screen dismissal. At last night's show in Springfield, Missouri, he beat Yoshi Tatsu in a singles match and also competed in a battle royal.
