*There are alot of questions surrounding how the WWE could possibly not re-sign The Dudely Boys and yet they decided to put the tag titles on Road Warrior Animal & Heidenreich. In the process of that, they have now downplayed the recent push of M & M.

 

*Vince McMahon was upset last night with the match that Batista had with JBL last night. It may have been the fact of Vince McMahon giving too much credit too Triple H who was able to carry Batista through a series of matches, but last night Batista was clearly having problems in the main event working a match with JBL.

 

*There are small rumors that when the WWE deal runs out with UPN for Smackdown! that the brand could possibly be cancelled all together. There is more and more uncertainity regarding Smackdown! and it?s timeslot on UPN and even the future of the brand.

 

*CM Punk is expected to be at RAW tonight backstage and is scheduled to debut with OVW this week.

As was previously reported a while back on that source: Smackdown! is moving its timeslot to Friday's at 8 p.m., which the WWE is very upset about...they are now looking for a new smackdown carrier but have not found one yet. UPN has one year left on its deal with the WWE

 

 

As for CM Punk, he wrestled last night in a Heat/Dark match and has two more appearences with ROH on 8/12 and 8/13 before he can commit full-time to his developmental deal...and with his skills and personality he won't be is OVW for long.

 

 

On Hassan, it sucks for him that he was just starting to get over and now he has no-where and I mean no-where to go...he will be sent back to OVW to be re-packaged but who knows what if anything WWE creative can come up with for him

Everything I've read from the Torch says Vince is 100% against ending the brand split, so they'll either re-up with Smackdown or find another network for it.

Don't end the brand extension just end the stupid idea of brand only ppv's and make them joint productions.

What they need to do is make the brands more distinctly seperate.

Ugh.

 

The last thing I want to see is Smackdown crap on my Raw pay-per-views.

 

I'm only going to watch half of Summerslam as it is.

 

They've saved me some coin by splitting them, since I stopped watching that Smackdown garbage in the winter.
