Backstage WWE Creative Team News, HHH/Orton Update, More

- In looking at the comparisons between the RAW and Smackdown brands within WWE, many of the top wrestlers on SmackDown (Undertaker, Edge, Chris Jericho) tend to have more input when it comes to ideas, storylines, finishes and other things.

Another reason is also because RAW tends to be more of a character driven show with wrestling part of it, while SmackDown is more wrestling heavy with storylines revolving around the wrestling.
