News on how the house show circuit will work since Orton's back

[Snowman1]

Since Randy Orton has returned, WWE Champion CM Punk will be moving back to the RAW live event tours. Following SummerSlam, top stars for each tour are John Cena, CM Punk, Big Show, Rey Mysterio and Daniel Bryan on the RAW shows and Sheamus, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Christian, Cody Rhodes and Sin Cara on the SmackDown shows. However, when it comes to TV, Mysterio will still be on the blue brand. Triple H will continue to be pushed with Sheamus and Orton as the top three stars for SmackDown TV tapings even though his role is just to do off-camera angles.

Kinda interesting... certainly would rather see the Smackdown show though, and hope the brand split comes back soon (fat chance)

So wait, Triple H is going to appear on Smackdown but only for off camera roles? Why? Surely you'd have him in storylines?

Still I wonder if this will mean he's getting control of Smackdown - which - going by how NXT is doing, should be good news; apart from his love for sheamful.

I had noticed on the cards for the upcoming house shows CM Punk was back to doing Raw instead of SmackDown, so I thought he must have been filling in as a way to draw in the crowds during Orton's absence. Seems almost odd that Raw is suppose to be their big show, yet SmackDown has more top stars lined up for its shows.

He's been doing his random untelevised burials for quite some time now, they don't want him to be a big part of the show and take much time on SD every week I believe, so he just goes there and Pedigrees a random heel off screen to sell tickets.

So this mean punk doesnt have to be overworked anymore?

Indeed, it avoids excessive fatigue and possibly injury for him, being a main eventer and champion that's the last thing we'd want.

Apparently no, seems like he cracked his skull in the indies some time ago and didn't take any painkillers.

Bryan doesn't take painkillers also I believe.

And he is the guy known for wrestling a 45 minute match blind on one side of his face.

 

[seabs]

Bryan is a legit tough nut.

 

[Asskicker]

Bryan wouldn't give two shits about wrasslin' Brock Lesnar.
