Hey guys, listen to this:
If you thought that most people were happy, well, you better think again:
Because according to one website, Rey Mysterio was not happy about being moved from the Smackdown brand over to the RAW side. He took pride in the fact that the Smackdown side was more concerned with attracting the Latino demographic. Like most wrestlers, he was also upset that he would be leaving some friends behind and felt snubbed because the company didn't warn him about the switch ahead of time.
- Although most people initially assumed that company officials tipped off Batista about moving to Raw, the buzz backstage was that he didn't know he was moving to the RAW side. The feeling is that he should be thrilled with the move since he will be featured as one of the main players on the RAW side as either one of the top babyfaces with Cena or as one of the top heels with Randy Orton.
- The word from WWE sources is that Triple H is the only person who was told in advance that he'd be switching brands. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that the move works out better or Hunter's schedule because he'll only be away from Stephanie McMahon-Levesque and their children two days per week (she plans to take both kids on the road once she comes back from maternity leave), whereas he was away for three days because of the RAW schedule.
