WRESTLING RECAP: Playtime Williams breaks down WWE Raw from 03/30/15 - A Day After Wrestlemania 31

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - I love blogging about wrestling, and the day after Wrestlemania was usually a highly anticipated day to see who won.  Keep in mind, I started watching wrestling before the days of the internet.  Everyone could not afford the pay per view option, so Monday after Wrestlemania was an exciting time.  The March 30, 2015 episode of RAW had that same buzz because you want to see brief snippets about each match and see what new direction the company is going.  Wrestlemania 31 (W31) is over and everyone has already scoured all over the internet to see clips of the show and knows what happened thanks to people like myself on the internet.

Even before RAW aired, buzz about watching the show was happening because the WWE announced that WWE Superstar Sheamus would be back from a long injury tonight.  The day after W31 show was way better than RAW and Smackdown from previous weeks .
