Creatively, it will be interesting to see how they get the ECW title back in ECW.

By having Mark Henry beat Kane and Big Show sunday. Not too much to it really. The draft almost made the card a little predictable. Even with HHH on Raw, I don't see the WWE title staying on Smackdown. Commin sense says Cena wins sunday.
The Us Championship as well, Matt's on ECW and they don't need two titles. He's facing Chavo, and it'd be good to have another title in La Famiglia on Chavito.
The World Title is staying on SD so Edge wins. But I guess they could switch titles by having Batista and HHH win and then take the belts with them to the new shows. WWE on SD, World back on Raw. That's always a possibility, I'm not sure how high Vince is with putting the WWE title on fridays, maybe he is since it's a big priority in the company to do well on MyNetwork. Either way though, the undercard seems a little more open and shut then the two main events.

I didn't even realize Henry was wrestling. I should look at the card more carefully. I thought it was a 1 on 1 match. They've switched up the WWE and World titles before. I prefer the WWE title on Raw, but there's no real reason to keep it either way.

Well seeing as they demoted Ross to Smackdown, I'd say the old guard isn't safe anymore on mondays, so who knows. But I'd prefer the WWE title on Raw too, at the very least, I say it's likely the days of the spinner belt are done if Cena can't win it, let them fuck with the World title, I like a traditional look on the WWE belt, not fucking rims, bling, spinners and hydrolics.

I agree with that 100 percent. The WWE belt should be designed to look classic and the title should be revered that way.

And now with Punk having the world on Raw, I see no reason they should make Hunter keep that horrible looking belt. Go back to the one Brock Lesnar, Angle, Big Show, the one they called the Undisputed belt, bring that one back asd the WWE Title. I hate the customized belts anyway. I never liked Austins, and this belt has a spinner? Should have never been allowed.
Fucking Brice Pritchard likes bitching about the Curtain Call, and how that's a slap in Vinces dad's face. How about the traditional look of a belt being shitted on just to try and connect with the rap community. Belts should have the traditional, classic look and no one wrestler should be above the championship. I'll go as far to say that's part of the reason the titles have less meaning and title changes very rarely mean anything anymore. With the exception of Punks win, has a title change really meant anything significant recently?

I agree about the belts. I would love to see the spinning shit stopped and a more traditional belt used.
I don't even know if I would call Punk's title win more or less meaningful than other recent ones. The big differences to me was that it elevated Punk, and it was done in a pretty cool fashion.

Wrestling is all glitz and glamour. While I prefer old school straight-up straps, I understand the marketing reasons for why they do things. And a spinning belt does not bother me, really. Speaking of gaudy belts, anyone catch a look at the Smackdown Diva Title up for grabs?
As to Punk, he looked weak cashing in like he did. The only reason that did not backfire on him is cause he did it to the most hated guy in the company. Punk jumping up and down, pointing at his wrist as if to signify time ticking away on a watch while begging the ref to ring the bell so he could swoop in for a cheap pin was one of the more groan-inducing moments I can remember in a while.
I was glad he got some heat back by actually winning a match later in the night, chicanery aside. But the cashing in like he did was anti-climactic as far as winning ones first World Title goes, for a babyface character.
