-WWE will try to work out any scheduling conflicts with TSN so that the network will still be able to carry RAW, however, if a deal is worked out, it will probably mean Raw airing at a different timeslot than it normally does.

-The format for this year’s WWE Draft Lottery will possibly be changing, making the event a two day Raw & Smackdown event. This would be an easy way for WWE to land two big rated shows for that week.

As of right now, HHH and Batista are scheduled to work the Judgment Day Main Event with a Hell In The Cell match in June. Also, JBL and John Cena are scheduled to face off on the European Tour in June as well. If that is true, then it looks as though WWE will not be switching any of those four men from their respective brands. WWE may also decide to change things up and move one or more of those men, but that remains to be seen. Eddie Guerrero, Undertaker, and Rey Mysterio are also being advertised for the June Smackdown tour in Europe.

I bolded an obvious error in this post I found on Rajah. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Judgment Day a SmackDown Brand PPV that is for May 22? If so, isn't the PPV they are talking about above actually Bad Blood? :wtf:

Painfully obvious, yet PWTorch (the credited source of the above Rajah piece) fucked that up royally. Anyway to inform them of this botch?

HHH Batista is meant to take place at vengeance,so that's the one they were on about. Bit dumb of them to make such an obvious error. lol@that being where olympic hitman got his stone cold rumour from.

Vengeance is in July, though I don't think we could rule out Vengeance being a possiblility.

But they showed the poster for it, i think it may of been moved forward this year? Could be wrong. I don't want to see two more hhh/batista matches.

Me either.

I wonder if that is true, where that will leave the Great American Bash (assuming they do that one this year).

According to that, Judgement Day is SmackDown!, followed by the ECW PPV, and then Vengeance (RAW) in June. The Great American Bash (SmackDown!) is at the end of July.

I think the ECW PPV is replacing it for one year only.

Vengeance seems to be replacing it. They seem to switch names for the summer PPVs often.

Vengeance was already around though.I think Cool King is probably right.
