World Wrestling Enter tainment RAW will be a special three-hour show at 7 p.m. Monday on the USA Network due to the fourth-ever WWE Draft, which will affect the RAW, Smackdown and ECW rosters.
Whatever happens, RAW most likely will benefit from the roster changes and ECW could suffer the most.
Rumors already are floating that Smackdown’s Chris Benoit could be moved to ECW and Bobby Lashley could move to RAW. Lashley to RAW makes sense, considering the ECW star appears on RAW almost every week.
The most intriguing star is CM Punk. It’ll be interesting to see if the WWE feels that he’s ready to make the step up and move to RAW or Smackdown.
Also, a week after witnessing one of the greatest performances promo-wise on RAW in a while, WWE chairman Vince McMahon (who’s playing the crazy old man gimmick, after losing the ECW title to Lashley) will have “Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night, which could be fun to watch.

Steiner injured: Internet reports indicate TNA star Scott Steiner is residing in the intensive care unit at a hospital in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after undergoing throat surgery. Steiner took a kick to the throat during a tag team match at a TNA house show in Puerto Rico last Sunday.
Steiner had problems breathing the next morning and was rushed to the hospital where he underwent trachea surgery.
It’s not known how long “Big Poppa Pump” will be out, but he’s expected to miss some time.
Which means, it appears that the most anticipated match for next Sunday’s “Slammiversary” pay-per-view show between Team 3D and the Steiner Brothers won’t take place.
