Do you believe TRIPLE H & JR will stay in Smackdown! or will they come back to RAW? 
One reason Triple H was moved to SmackDown is due to a scheduling matter. The schedule on Smackdown is actually a lot more convenient for him, especially considering that wife Stephanie McMahon-Levesque is due to give birth in about a month and will be taking the babies on the road upon her return to work. The regular Raw show schedule runs from Friday to Monday, so he is always on his own on the road because Stephanie doesn't attend house shows. However, Stephanie always attends the weekly Tuesday SmackDown tapings, whereas Triple H is at home or on a plane going home. When he was on Raw, they pretty much only saw each other on Monday, the latter part of Wednesday, entire Thursdays, and the early part of Friday. Now that he's on SmackDown, he can see Stephanie and the kids Monday through at least Friday. The weekly SmackDown schedule doesn't start until Saturday night, so that gives them part of another day to be together some weeks. Instead of seeing his family for parts of three or four days a week, he should usually be able to see them as many as six days a week.
The scheduling issue wasn't the only reason for the move because the SmackDown brand was in dire need of a huge new star to say the least. Also, Triple H's move to SmackDown should give the show a ratings boost when it moves to MyNetworkTV this fall.

So thats the end of the draft then all in all definatly freshening the product up which can only be a good thing.
Finlay should be a good bet to hold the ECW Title and, I'm not sure my balls can stand Mickie and Layla being on the same show, sharing screen time together.
A strong case can be made that ECW have *no* headliners, but I concider Hardy (current US champ) and Henry (involved in ECW Title match on Sunday) as the main guys for now. It remains to be seen where everybody ends up in that brand.
While Raw seems to have gotten two new main eventers out of the deal (in the form of Batista and Rey) and is still the most star-power packed show, Smackdown look like they've come out with the fresher looking roster, with a new main eventer (HHH), a fresh upper midcard (Hardy, Kennedy, Umaga, V) and some interesting talent on the lower half of the card (another attempt to push Shelton?, Something finally for Smith? and Murdoch as a solo)
ECW have been gutted. With the exception of the addition of Finlay and Hardy, it's been a bad draft. With the exit of Kingston & Punk, they'd better finally do something with The Black Pope, Elijah Burke.

I am thinking CM Punk could be Dibiase's partner as well. There has been talk that they want Punk to be the leader of the new heel stable so his move to Raw could be the reason why

CHICKFIGHT - 3 AUG, IPSWICH -
BLACK VS JETTA: ONE LAST ROUND
On Sunday Aug 3 ChickFight returns to the Caribbean Centre in Ipswich and once again films content towards 4 episodes of ChickFight TV highlighted by a Career vs Humiliation match as Romfords Eden Black goes one on one with her long-time rival "Coventry's Loudest" Jetta!
At the previous ChickFight event in Ipswich Eden Black gave an emotional speech announcing her retirement from the world of professional wrestling (for more info including an exclusive interview with Eden Black check out this months FSM available in all good newsagents) however had what should have been her last night ruined by 20 year old Jetta
The ego of Jetta was in full swing! Furious that Black was announcing her retirement without crediting "Coventry's Loudest" as the reason behind it, the 20 year old spewed verbal poison demanding Black admit that the real reason she was retiring was because Black could not recover from the punishment Jetta had dished out to her in the previous battles the two have had in the past few years.
The verbal battle went back and forth until Jetta finally goaded Eden Black into one last match. If Jetta wins then she can take credit for retiring Eden Black but if Eden Black wins Jetta must get down on her hands and knees and kiss the feet of Eden Black admitting that Black is the better of the two!
Also confirmed to appear on 3 Aug in Ipswich are "The Female Terminator" Cheerleader Melissa and Jetta's new associate Wesna Busic. The two who are tied in their feud each with 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw are expected to do battle yet again in what will surely be another brutal classic. Rumour has it that ChickFight Management will be announcing a stipulation to this match so that there will be no more tied results or traded wins and losses. Management want a final conclusive winner. The fans want a final conclusive winner. And now more than ever both Wesna and Melissa want a final conclusive victory as the feud has now become personal. We await to hear from ChickFight Management for official confirmation.
Tickets are available to purchase now from http://www.chickfight.tv/buy-tickets/ priced at £15 Front Row, £10 Adult Standard, £5 Child Standard and £25 for a family of 4 standard pack (minimum 2 children). Doors open at 5pm with first bell at 5.30pm.
PLEASE BE AWARE OVER 50% OF RINGSIDE WAS SOLD ON THE FIRST DAY OF SALE FOR OUR PREVIOUS EVENT AND THAT THE FULL RINGSIDE ALLOCATION WAS SOLD OUT LONG BEFORE THE DAY OF THE EVENT. PLEASE BUY EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.
Stay tuned to www.ChickFight.tv and keep reading ChickFight Central in FSM every month for more news and further developments.

The two fighting females are currently tied in their feud with 2 wins each and a draw, the stipulations to this match will mean that somebody is leaving with more fall victories than the other!
Melissa recently took out her frustration from the fall out of the previous ChickFight event by destorying the former ChickFight tournament winner MsChif, several referees and venue security in a ChickFight guest match at a Pro Wrestling Revolution show in California (this match can be seen on www.ClickWrestle.com and will also be shown on a future episode of ChickFight TV) and is looking to continue her renewed path of destruction when she gets to Ipswich on Aug 3!

--WWE's thinking about letting Umaga cut his own promos on television. There have been discussions regarding the possibility. People are buzzing backstage that Umaga will reveal his ability to speak English soon.
--Reportedly, there was an argument between Jim Ross and Vince McMahon after Raw as Ross turned down an invitation to fly on the WWE corporate jet from San Antonio to Houston for SmackDown. As noted earlier in his blog, Ross contemplated quitting WWE with his wife until 6:00 a.m Tuesday morning. Anyway, McMahon told Ross that he (Vince) risked his life on Raw and ruined his son-in-law's life for the sake of the company. Word got out on what Vince said regarding Triple H and it gave some people a chuckle considering that his move to SmackDown is greatly beneficial to his personal life.
--Raw head writer Brian Gewirtz had an idea for Ted DiBiase, Jr. to play off his dad's legendary "Million Dollar Man" gimmick and "buy" a draft pick somehow, but the plan was shot down.
--Internally, WWE officials have a pecking order list regarding the top five stars in the company. In no particular order, Triple H, Undertaker and John Cena are regarded as the company's three biggest stars. Batista and Shawn Michaels fall in the second tier level right behind them.
--With the exception of Umaga to SmackDown, the closest thing to a surefire move was Rey Mysterio to Raw. Officials actually made the decision a few weeks ago while SmackDown writer Michael Hayes was away on suspension. Hayes wanted to keep Mysterio on SmackDown, but he had to give him up to Raw in order to land Jeff Hardy, and as most of you know, Hayes is close to the Hardys. Although, SmackDown later lost Matt Hardy to ECW. Matt was moved over to ECW because the feeling was that if the two brothers appeared on the same brand, they would have to be a tag team, and Vince doesn't want to push them as a tag team at the moment, even if they are incredibly over with the fans. Vince doesn't believe in pushing tag teams as he prefers focusing on singles competitors. Also, with ECW losing CM Punk and Kane to Raw, they obviously needed someone to soften the blow, and that person was Matt Hardy.
--Randy Orton is upset over a few websites claiming that he is off television due to a suspension. Of course that is not true. In a follow-up to the story on him being upset over a report from Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter saying that he was going to be out of action until October, here is what he had to say to be exact: "The pain is gone and I'm well on my way to a speedy recovery. I'm using a special machine that gives the break site a direct pulse from an electromagnet. It helps regenerate the strongest bone growth quickly. It should speed up my three month prognosis to two-and-a-half months at best. I also had only one break in my clavicle, which is the least amount of damage. Most moderate to severe collarbone breaks have two, three, four sometimes five breaks in the bone." Orton also said that he actually hasn't gotten an X-ray to see how well the bone is healing, but thinks he should back in the ring by early to mid August, just in time for SummerSlam. The creative team thought he was coming back in October, hence the original report.
-- Regarding Melina's injury on Raw this past week, there is still no official word on the matter, but it is believed that she either fractured her heel or tore ligaments in her ankle and will likely need surgery. No word yet on how long she'll be out, but it's definitely going to be at least a few weeks, if not months.
-- There are, or were, rumors going around saying that Ted DiBiase's mystery partner at Night of Champions was going to be DH Smith. However, the two haven't been training together, and what with Smith's move to the SmackDown brand in the Supplemental Draft earlier today, now it definitely doesn't look like it's happening. Additionally, there doesn't appear to be anyone else on the radar for the role from developmental nor the main roster. This is only speculation, but the best bet for the mystery partner looks to be Cody Rhodes after turning on Hardcore Holly.

Smackdown lost Rey Mysterio, but I think that their value went way up. Gaining Triple H and Jeff Hardy is a huge plus for them giving some more main eventers. Adding Maria to Smackdown is also huge so now they have more marketable people to use when moving to the new network.

Both Matt and Jeff Hardy weren't told about their respective brand moves beforehand. After their one match together on Raw, Matt was sent to ECW and the reaction you saw from them was their real reaction because both brothers had no idea it was going to happen. In Jeff's case, he was told about the move to SmackDown a few moments before the announcement on television. On another note regarding the brand changes, pretty much all of the draftees with the probable exception of Triple H have no idea what the moves mean or what their new roles will be as creative hasn't given them an explanation on anything.

- Mark Henry's move from SmackDown to ECW was done to make people think he might win the ECW Title at the Night of Champions show, which means he probably won't. WWE is under pressure to use Henry will to avoid having it look like he's being burried for coming forward with the complaint on Michael Hayes.
- Trevor Murdoch was drafted from RAW to SmackDown to put the space between him and Lance Cade and because Michael Hayes wanted him on the brand. It's likely that Murdoch will continue his singing gimmick.
- Part of why Big Daddy V was drafted to SmackDown from ECW was to create a new heel to feud with seeing as how Mark Henry is gone and it's almost a lock that The Great Khali will end up as a comedic babyface.
- Deuce is set to get a makeover after being drafted to RAW. He's used a gimmick of a card shark from Las Vegas before, under the name Deuce Shade as well as the Jimmy Snuka Jr. moniker.
- There is talk of using DH Smith in a heel tag team role on the SmackDown brand. DH is now back on the same brand as his cousin Natalya Neidhart, but it remains to be seen if WWE will pair them up in anyway.
- The move of Finlay and Hornswoggle to ECW could setup a long term feud with John Morrison and The Miz. ECW is the brand that most of the developmental stars will start out on, so Finlay being there and able to be a good teacher is a positive.
- The belief behind Kofi Kingston's move to RAW is that he had been a huge success on ECW and he now needs more exposure.
- RAW's current top faces are set to be Batista, John Cena and Shawn Michaels with help from Kane, CM Punk and Rey Mysterio. The top heels will be Chris Jericho and JBL, which means a heel turn for Batista could come sooner than later. Randy Orton also will take the place of a top heel once he returns. John Cena vs. Chris Jericho could be a long-term feud with WWE holding off on Cena vs. Batista until the first of next year.
As far as SmackDown goes, right now the top faces are set to be The Undertaker and Triple H, with Big Show, Jeff Hardy and Kennedy helping out. There's still a chance that The Great Khali will turn face to join that list. The heels look to be Edge, Umaga, MVP, Big Daddy V and possibly Shelton Benjamin. No word yet whether or not WWE will use Carlito in a heel or face role, even though he hates playing the babyface.

- Rey Mysterio was not happy about his move over to RAW. Rey really liked the fact that the SmackDown! brand had more of a Latino demographic. The company also didn't inform him of which brand he was headed to ahead of time and like many of the guys who were drafted, he leaves behind many friends.
Although he should be happy about his move to Raw, Batista may not have known about his move to Raw either, like many thought he might.
Triple H appears to be the only person who was told in advance about his move

Celebrity news site TMZ is reporting that police offers are currently searching for a man who claimed to be WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin and was selling autographs at an Indiana Wal*Mart for $10 a pop.
The incident took place at in Greensburg, Indiana. A man claiming to be Steve Austin's manager booked the appearance and dozens of Stone Cold fans paid to have pictures and merchandise signed.
