ECW is basically the OVW for WWE, it feeds other shows the likes of:
Mike Knox
Kofi Kingston
CM Punk
Jack Swagger
Evan Bourne
and had re-juvinated:
Miz and Morrison
Finlay
Matt Hardy
Mark Henry
Having Christian on ECW for a few months will increase his stock, if he came out on Smackdown as the one who took out Jeff, he'd effectivly be a bit part player in the story and instantly be de-pushing himself as Edge's puppet as they are not on the same level they once were
At least this way Christian can use ECW to get a buzz and get more over (remember he's never really been given a face run before for WWE) and then in the draft will probably move to Smackdown and feud with Edge, but with much more momentum
