Smark Out Moment

It's always funny when you've watched enough WWE that you can tell why they're doing certain things in a way that you're not really supposed to analyze.

On tonight's Raw, they made it a point to specify that "for the time being", Nikki Cross, EC3 and the others coming up to the main roster can go between shows and aren't signed to Raw or SmackDown.

Translation: "We jumped the gun in announcing them coming up, because we figured we'd try to get you talking about positive things and we'd just sort it out later. It was more important to us to just say that we have good things coming than to really have any plans. So now that we have waited a few weeks, we know we have to start using them, cause it's getting ridiculous we just keep using the same video package and promising that they're coming. But...to be honest...we don't know what we want to do with them. So how about they just get booked randomly for the time being until we can sort out what brands we want them on? Okay?"

It's better than nothing, but really, is it so hard to just have a game plan in mind before you throw ideas out there?

They could've given me $1 and 5 minutes of time and I'd have told them Cross needs to go to SmackDown, Heavy Machinery needs to go to Raw, Evans is better off on Raw if the plan is for Rousey to leave in the Superstar Shake-up, and EC3 depends entirely who they want him to feud with come WrestleMania and such.

It's not that hard when you can make up rules and get yourselves out of corners you've backed yourselves into. It just takes a few minutes of thinking.
