Vince McMahon was apparently said to be very disappointed that Smackdown scored a higher rating than Raw recently. He's not trying to sabotage the show, but because he's in negotiations with Viacom regarding a new contract for the Monday night show, he would prefer to have Raw be his highest rated show right now.

McMahon�s concern is that Viacom officials will use Smackdown's higher rating to question whether they are being stuck with an inferior product due to the recently ratings score the show got over Raw.

"That's why some of the lineups for the Raw shows have been pay-per-view caliber," explained one source.

I guess Big Show will debut on Raw to help them out. To be serious, what more can Raw do? Invade Smackdown?
