Smackdown Preview 04.17.09
Tonight's episode of Smackdown comes just days after the 2009 WWE Draft completely changed the landscape of the WWE rosters, shaking things up. One of the biggest names drafted was Triple H being moved to Raw. With Triple H's move away from Smackdown, and John Cena staying put on Raw, the Smackdown show now has neither of the major titles. It gained champions Melina and Rey Mysterio while losing Divas champ Maryse and US Champion MVP to Raw. Smackdown has also added Chris Jericho, who was responsible for insulting plenty of talent on Raw including the WWE Hall of Famers. Smackdown also saw its unified tag team champions The Colons both drafted to Raw, as well as Nikki and Brie, The Bella Twins. Cryme Tyme will now bring their Brooklyn style to Smackdown, where they will be on a roster which also includes newcomers Alicia Fox, Mike Knox and Ricky Ortiz. How will all of this new talent fare on Smackdown?
Theodore Long is the new GM and calls the shots on Smackdown, while Edge is now separated from Vickie Guerrero. Edge and Vickie used to run things on Smackdown, making life miserable for many others on the roster. Meanwhile the Big Show will head back over to Raw where quite possibly he and Vickie Guerrero will rekindle their love affair. How will Edge gain some sort of advantage now that his wife is no longer in charge of the Smackdown show? Another name not mentioned above is CM Punk, the 2009 Money in the Bank winner. At the 2009 draft, Punk was selected by the Smackdown brand, his third roster in three years. There's always speculation going on as to who Punk will cash in his briefcase against to try to win a title. Punk may be the key to bringing a major title back to Smackdown, but the question becomes which superstar and title will Punk go after?
Let's not forget The Undertaker either, who recently extended his Wrestlemania undefeated streak to 17-0, after defeating Shawn Michaels. Undertaker haven't been heard from since the grueling match. Taker's brother Kane was drafted to Smackdown this past Monday night, which could possibly lead to a reunion of the "Brothers of Destruction", a powerful force in the tag team division. At the same time, it could lead to more matches between the Big Red Machine and The Phenom. First, Undertaker has to make an appearance. Will Undertaker show up on Smackdown and if so, what will his latest plans be?
