With just 3 days before the draft, things continue to heat up between Edge and Batista, leading into the Night of Champions PPV.  It will be interesting to see how much changes come Monday Night, and which brand comes out the strongest.  I for one hope that Smackdown!’s main event gets injected with some much needed new blood, because if I see Batista in the main event one more time…I don’t know what I’m going to do.  Other news and notes:

• Great segment with MVP in the VIP Lounge, unfortunately I think he is on the move to RAW, much the same as Kennedy did last year.  Hopefully this time, they give MVP the rightful push he deserves, because I honestly believe him and Kennedy Kennedy are the future of the WWE.
• Not sure what the whole point of putting referee Charles Robinson in the spotlight on this week’s show.  Maybe…oh could it be…they’re going to start drafting referees too!  Wake me up when it’s over.  Khali squashing Robinson was a big waste of time..period.
• There seems to be a nice little feud heating up between Michelle McCool and Natalya, two of my favourite WWE Divas.  Expect them to be the first to challenge for the upcoming WWE Divas Title…might as well give them something to fight for.
• Jesse and Festus are a great tag team to watch, with Festus having so much potential, if only his body had more of a look to it, Vince McMahon would love him.  The destruction of Deuce n Domino continue..I guess all wasn’t Pleasantville in the 1950’s after all.
• Finlay & Hornswoggle vs. The Miz/John Morrisson was signed this week for Night of Champions…..my first question is why?  If the Irishmen win next Sunday, WWE will have reversed all the accomplishments the Miz and Morrisson have established up ’til now.  They can beat Kane/CM Punk…but not Finlay/Horny..come on.
• I really think WWE should change Vladimir Kozlov’s gimmick from silent Russian Communist destroyer to the School Yard Bully.  Honest it’s been almost 3 months of squash matches, when will WWE give this guy something to do…
• And in the main event, La Familia once again screws over Batista, having Edge be the special referee for Batista’s match against Chavo Guerrero.  Oh Undertaker, where art thou?

A decent show this week, with continued buildup of only the main storyline really, everything else has simply been put together for the NoC PPV, but has no substance beyond that.  I look forward to the draft this coming Monday…when it will be time to shake things up again!

Til next time,

Will
