Weekend 3 Count: 3/30 - 4/5 #WWE #AJLee #TNA #GFW

By @B_Rock1978

The Weekend 3 Count is brought to you by Triple Threat CLE. This week I bring you all the news and rumors around the WWE, TNA, GFW and the Independent wrestling scene for March 30th - April 5th.

*** Weekend Flashback ***

- With WWE Extreme Rules coming up at the end of April, thought I'd go back to where it all started. WWE Extreme Rules, started out as ECW One Night Stand, then switched over to WWE One Night Stand, once ECW 2.0 ended. With WWE going PG, it changed the One Night Stand name to Extreme Rules, due to the One Night Stand name not being PG friendly. So here is John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at ECW One Night Stand.

*** WWE News and Rumors ***

- First off, if you missed Wrestlemania 31, be sure to check out my recap of the Super Bowl of Wrestling.

- A.J. Lee officially announced her retirement from WWE this past Friday. The reasoning behind this is unknown at this time. Rumors have stated that some think that she's pregnant, others think its because of WWE's current legal issues with her husband, CM Punk. Best of luck to you A.J.

- A.J. Lee also announced on Twitter that she's written a book and expects it published soon.

- After Wrestlemania 31, Undertaker, stated that he felt great before and after the match. Which means there is a possibility Taker wrestles at Wrestlemania 32, next year.
