Zeb Colter slapping Jack Swagger is an idea based on a coaches going too far to motivate their athletes.

We've been asked a few times why WWE is continuing with the Sin Cara character after releasing the original performer. We are told part of the reason is that WWE has invested in the character, but a bigger part is that Cara is scheduled for the Scooby Doo animated film and with toys related to that film that are being released, so by not having the character around, they would be dating the material before it's released.

William Regal praised Antonio Cesaro's work on Twitter today, writing, "I've said it before and know(because he made mincemeat out of me)@AntonioCesaro is 10 times the man and wrestler I've ever been." Cesaro really tore it up the last few days in the Royal Rumble and on Raw.

Here's this week's Raw Backstage Fallout:

 

Mick Foley and Steve Austin each praised the WWE Hall of Fame induction of Jake Roberts, which was announced last night on Raw.

Austin wrote, "Congrats to @JakeSnakeDDT. #WWE HOF. It's about damn time. One of my all time favorites."

Foley wrote, "He did it! Good for you @JakeSnakeDDT - well deserved, and long overdue. Can't wait to hear that speech at #WWEHOF. #RAW"

For those who asked, JoJo is still at the WWE Performance Center training.

WWE will be ramping up WWE NXT merchandise in conjunction with the show being available on the WWE Network.
