Two WWE Divas Almost Moved To SmackDown, Why Khali Was Drafted To Raw

Two WWE Divas Almost Moved To SmackDown, Why Khali Was Drafted To Raw

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

— WWE’s decision to cut Katie Lea cut was something not known well in advance as the creative team had earlier in the week decided to move her to SmackDown, before getting the word that she wasn’t going to be part of the draft due to her termination from the company.

There had also been talk of moving Gail Kim to SmackDown during the Draft to replace recently released babyface female performers Mickie James and Maria Kanellis, but internally, Kelly Kelly is seen as the bigger star and thus she got the nod.

— The Great Khali was drafted to Raw during Tuesday’s Supplemental Draft because company officials don’t want him on the same brand as Big Show. With Show’s gimmick being “The World’s Largest Athlete,” it wouldn’t make much sense to have someone bigger than him on the same show.

— The Raw house show on July 10th, 2010 will be held at the Metro Centre in Rockford, Illinois. Tickets go on sale May 15th, 2010. (Thanks to Devin Cutting)
