Desperate times, desperate measures. With tensions running increasingly high between SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long and Interim General Manager of Monday Night Raw John Laurinaitis, the WWE Board of Directors was forced to take a drastic step. The nine-member panel released a letter stating that sole control of both Raw and SmackDown would be decided in a 12-Man Tag Team Match – Team Teddy vs. Team Johnny – at WrestleMania.

Relations between the GMs began to deteriorate at Elimination Chamber when Laurinaitis announced his intention to govern both shows. Not surprisingly, Long took umbrage to the overt power grab and told Laurinaitis so in no uncertain terms, both in person and on Twitter, where @GMSmackDown and @WWERawGM have been strident in their criticism of each other.

In an attempt to determine who might perform better as dual GM, one week before the Board released the letter, it allowed Long to run Raw while Laurinaitis took control of SmackDown. The one-upmanship was fierce with Long and Laurinaitis even competing against one another in a match that saw Teddy roll up Laurinaitis, a ring veteran, for the win. The Board decided that both men had performed their duties above expectation and that, to determine control of both shows, Long and Laurinaitis must each choose a six-man squad to compete against one another.

At this point, neither man has chosen a single member of their respective team. However, with just three weeks until The Show of Shows in Miami, the struggle to land key Superstars is sure to be intense. And the competition among Superstars to be selected to those teams promises to be just as ferocious.

The Miz could have a big night tonight, in his hometown and if I remember right, Psych's James Roday is supposed to be on since the Miz is on that this week.

If not, he may want to pack his bags tommorow.

The fact that miz and zig whom have been in major storylines all year and don't have mania matches shows what a joke mania and the E have become in pushing the old attitude era paycheck stealing stars.

Thank you,and have a nice day !

Come on Kujoe. I'm a big Ziggler guy, but what sells tickets? Cena v Rock, or Cena v Ziggler. The Rock is making everyone more money. Do they need to do a better job elevating existing guys to new levels? Absolutely. But the guys pissed at Rock need to do a better job getting over.

The rock hype is what makes me mad could of been done so much better, and if it's a one and done what's really the point ? Zig and miz deserve at min a MITB match in order to stay current and steal the show. How much do u really expect out of the cena v rock match ? Neither one is up for any major spots or known for their in ring skill....

Thank you,and have a nice day !

Both of those guys are more than able to give a solid 25 minute match. It won't make Meltzer cream, but it will be a good match. I absolutely want a MITB match. Ziggler could have won that instead of this stupid brand fight.
