Backstory: This will start after SummerSlam 2008. ECW has been disbanded, and over the next three weeks, the General Managers of both Raw and Smackdown will chose two superstars from ECW to join their brand each week. The WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championships were disbanded as well, and instead, the World Tag Team Championships will be inter-branded, and will be defended on both brands.

As you can see, I tweaked with the SummerSlam results a little bit, but not too much, such as Edge never being 'sent to hell', Michaels Wife never getting punched, Hardy defeating MVP. Also, John Cena was never injured.
