3/16/2012- Andy Pettitte returns to the New York Yankees, review of WWE Raw, MMA Friday Night Fights

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week this week! And yes, Andy Pettitte came out of retirement to return to the New York Yankees. More details will be shared as you read along. Here we go!

WWE
This past Monday on Raw was The Rock Concert vs John Cena Rap episode. Raw kicked off with John Cena with a 1-night return of "The Dr. of Thuganomics".


After the rap, Raw went onto the rest of the programming. Overall, it was an average Raw, with the only standouts were John Cena's rap, The Rock's "rock song", and notable appearances by Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Psych's James Roday makes a cameo. Here are the highlights from Raw.




Also, it was announced during Raw that there will be a tag team match called Team Long vs Team Laurinaitis with the stipulation of "Winner Takes All". David Otunga will captain Team Laurinaitis while Santino Marella will captain Team Long at WrestleMania. Additionally, as announced on Extra yesterday, there will be a Divas tag team match with Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres squaring off against Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos.

During the week, Zack Ryder made a plea on his YouTube channel to have him added to Team Long.


Tonight on SmackDown, Christian will make his return to host "The Peep Show" with Teddy Long, and John Laurinaitis as guests.

MMA
Tonight is the "Friday Night Fights" as Bellator 61 will be airing as well as The Ultimate Fighter. Bellator 61 will feature a Middleweight Tournament taking place throughout the main card. Also, former WWE Tough Enough contestant Jeremiah Riggs will fight on the preliminary card. The Bellator prelims will be streamed live on Spike.com.

MLB
Just a few weeks before the Yankees start the 2012 regular season, they made a big announcement that Andy Pettitte is returning to the New York Yankees. Pettitte, who retired after the 2010 season, decided to come out of retirement and "sign a 1-year, minor league contract with the Yankees that will pay him $2.5 million", according to YES Network's Jack Curry. This means that he won't be joining the roster come opening day, but he could be called up from developmental sometime later this season. In my opinion, this is very good news for the Yankees as it was obvious last season that the Yankees missed Pettitte and needed depth in pitching.

That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend!
