This has been years in the making, still some what surprising since Smack Down is one of CW highest rated shows. Perhaps they could make Raw 3 hours and combine the Raw and Smack Down rosters & keep ECW for development purposes. Get some better writers who actual care about the fans.

WWE needs to just put SmackDown's! roster on RAW and cancel the program altogether. SD! has been in sever mediocrity since '05 and the show has plummeted in the ratings.
