Updates On General Managers In WWE Brand Split
Those running the show are getting a corporate title makeover.
As we edge ever close to the WWE brand split and draft, more and more details are coming out regarding just how it is going to look. Much speculation surrounds the fate of the would-be General Managers of RAW and SmackDown, with their identities yet to be revealed. Both Shane and Stephanie McMahon have made claims on-screen recently, but nothing is official as of yet.
Last night on RAW however Michael Cole cleared the air regarding the titles of the position. Rather then returning to the General Manager job title, those in charge of the shows will be referred to as COO's, or Chief Operating Officers. Interestingly enough, this is Triple H's real-life position in the company.
Another interesting update to note is the change in term used for the top championship in the company. It was noticeable last night that Dean Ambrose was referred to only as the 'WWE Champion', as opposed to the 'WWE World Heavyweight Champion'. Initial speculation leans towards this meaning the creation of another top belt for the post-draft world, but this is just speculation for the time being.
With only 21 days until the draft itself, expect the picture to continue getting ever clearer.
