It's happened before. In 2005, John Cena was plucked from SmackDown as a Raw draft pick. This created an uncomfortable locker room situation, as then-World Champion Batista, a Raw Superstar, was also on the brand. The problem was solved three weeks later, as Batista was picked by SmackDown, and became that brand's top titleholder.
But having the two top titleholders in the same locker room can be dicey to say the least. The World Champion and the WWE Champion are looked at as being the de facto "leader" of their brand's locker room. Having two leaders could cause a civil war of sorts, dividing loyalties and creating undue tension.
SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long and Assistant GM Vickie Guerrero would have their hands full trying to keep order and to keep both champions happy. But then again, SmackDown Superstars would have double the opportunities to compete for the top titles.
And Long's phone would likely be ringing off the hook from Superstars wanting to be traded or signed to SmackDown to get a crack at The Champ's or the Rated-R Superstar's gold.
3 champs on 1 brand?
So he might not be the most welcomed personality at the ECW announcer table with Joey Styles and Tazz. But with JBL's money, he could afford to have his own announce table built – perhaps in an arena skybox with bar service, catering, and stock market ticker built-in?
Or JBL might feel the hankering to influence in-ring action again, and choose to put his money behind some of ECW's young talent. Imagine if the New Breed had JBL's financial backing and support? That buys a lot of bling, and could buy the Breed an ECW World Title as well with the millionaire standing tall in their corner.
As we've seen with CM Punk's short-lived New Breed stint, Elijah Burke doesn't like challengers to his leadership. But everyone has their price.
Burke vs CM Punk continuing on RAW? instead of ECW with JBL as manager...
just think and read carefully.
