Last night, the TNA Slammiversary PPV came up on the calendar delivering quality wrestling and some of the usual booking flaws, but not enough of the flaws to take away from a "thumbs up" PPV.

If you ordered the PPV, you were probably satisfied. (Unless you thought the "big surprise" was Tommy "nice surprise" Dreamer, which it wasn't since the "big surprise" will be rolled out over time on TV, according to Dixie Carter.)

If you didn't order the PPV, you didn't miss enough to bang your head against the wall today. There wasn't a Match of the Year candidate or a major angle or someone falling through a hole in the ring. It was the positive, safe, standard TNA PPV.

And now, TNA moves on to the next set of TV tapings building to the next TNA PPV that will come up on the calendar on July 11. The formula of TNA's unspectacular, good-but-not-great monthly PPVs repeats itself.

After a week of talk, hype, and buzz culminating with the announced release of Bryan Danielson on Friday, the NXT Invasion follow-up finally occurs tonight on Raw.

There are plenty of questions to be answered, so let's examine the Top 10 Questions on the NXT Invasion Angle Follow-up on tonight's Raw.

(1) Where will the majority of WWE's emphasis go toward? (a) NXT Invasion follow-up, (b) Fatal Four-Way PPV hype on the lead-in show, or (c) guest host from their TV partner, USA Network?

(2) Will WWE draw attention to Bryan Danielson's release or will the NXT Eight simply be the NXT Seven without mention of Danielson's sudden absence?

(3) Which will WWE emphasize more - WWE champion John Cena's involvement in the NXT Invasion angle last week or his WWE Title defense at the PPV on Sunday?

(4) Will the NXT invasion be turned into "just another angle" or will the follow-up capitalize on the week-long buzz surrounding the angle?

(5) Will Vince McMahon return to TV after being off TV last week, but returning the week before, to have a role in the angle?

(6) Will WWE reveal a mastermind behind the invasion or will the "mastermind speaking duties" reside with Wade Barrett?

(7) Will WWE announce new matches for the Fatal Four-Way PPV? There are currently two main event matches announced and an entire PPV undercard to fill out.

(8) Can tonight's Raw get any worse than the first two hours and 50 minutes of last week's disaster pre-Invasion angle?

(9) Will Chris Jericho win a match or be reduced to near-tears yet again? Or, will Jericho be revealed as the "NXT mastermind?"

(10) Will Michael Cole explain his absence from the beat down that "victimized" his broadcast partner, Jerry Lawler, and other assembled colleagues ringside?

(10b) In what universe does WWE exist where Michael Cole is a topic of discussion in one of the biggest potential angles of the year?
