Vince shakes things up on Raw

As Mr. McMahon promised, the RAW and SmackDown! rosters have been shaken.
WWE.COM

What a night for sports entertainment. The aftermath of the WWE brank lottery was some what impressive. Here is the run down as it stands now:

Raw:

1. Shelton Benjamin
2. Nidia
3. Rhyno
4. Tajiri
5. Edge
6. Paul Heyman

SmackDown!:

1. Rene Dupree
2. Mark Jindrak
3. Triple H
4. Rob Van Dam
5. Theodore Long
6. Spike Dudley

Both Raw and SmackDown still look very impressive. I was disappointed to see Rob Van Dam leave Raw. You might also noticed that there is no link for Paul Heyman. Why? Because after he was drafted by Raw he quite. Here is the statement from Mr. McMahon:

STATEMENT FROM MR. MCMAHON
Earlier tonight, Paul Heyman - the former General Manager of SmackDown! - was drafted by RAW and subsequently quit. Therefore, due to the absence of a GM on SmackDown!, I have extended the trading deadline to 9 p.m. ET Tuesday, at which time a new GM of SmackDown! will be announced, and that new GM of SmackDown! will in fact announce all trades.
Thank you.


Now the question is what will Paul Heyman do to retaliate? Who will be the new SmackDown! General Manager? And how will the new drafts be accepted by their new brands? There have been rumors of The ECW resurfacing. Could these rumors be true? I for one am hoping so. I guess we will just have to watch Thursday night for some of the answers to these questions.
