Floyd Mayweather, Jr. - © Erik Kabik / PR PhotosLast night’s WrestleMania “weigh-in” segment on Raw between Floyd Mayweather and Big Show almost became the main event on live television, according to Mike Johnson of the Professional Wrestling Insider. Apparently some of Mayweather’s posse's egos were over-inflated and wanted to prove how tough they were and began to stiff some wrestlers. The wrestlers addressed their hubris and gave it back to them in spades, a minute before order was restored. Reportedly, Shawn McMahon was legitimately knocked down on the ramp. After the segment ended real tension erupted between Mayweather’s posse and WWE superstars backstage.

Big Show flipping Floyd Mayweather out of the ring over the top rope on Raw was the #9 top play on ESPN’s SportsCenter. Exactly what WWE wanted to happen.
