WWE followed up on the note from Monday’s RAW by announcing that John Laurinaitis and Theodore Long will switch shows next week.
Long will serve as the guest GM for RAW, while Laurinaitis heads over to SmackDown!. WWE’s storyline explanation is that the board of directors want to see how the leader handles the other’s show prior to making a decision about a unified GM.
The obvious plan is for that decision–who gets to run both shows–to be decided in a match at WrestleMania, likely with several wrestlers representing each potential GM.
