Tommy Dreamer won the ECW title. Good for him. Batista won WWE title. Ugh.

Batista won't keep it very long In Fact he might only keep it for 24 hours Heres Why

According to sources, Batista is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday morning for a torn biceps muscle that he sustained in a match prior to his bout with Randy Orton at "Extreme Rules" last night. The injury was likely the reason the match only lasted just over seven minutes.

Why the company decided to go through with the title change despite the injury is still a question mark, although one would assume the reason will be revealed in the storyline going forward.

Expect an injury angle or something done on RAW tonight to get the title off of Batista, as he'll be undergoing surgery the next morning and be on the shelf as far as being an active in-ring competitor.

Lots of surprises tonight. I kind of expect another one on RAW tomorrow night. There's no way they just give it back to Orton...right?

So they fire KENNEDY for being so injury proned, but Batista gets spared for as often as he's in and out for surgery due to injuries?? WTF??

I kinda hope Vicky strips Batista of the Title and puts it up in a Tournament where the Next Champion will be decided at the Bash.

Holy championship changes, Batman!

Someone got a little excited on the title matches. Jeff might have the shortest combined world title reigns ever.

And really... a Batista injury news item isn't anything new. Don't we get those once a month now? Goodness.

It sucks that Batista got injured, but it's good for us. Unless Triple H returns earlier than expected... which would really suck. Hopefully Orton gets the title back somehow. A tournament might be a good way to go too.

Also ecstatic over Punk's win. I'd like to see a full-fledged heel turn now, although Smackdown is lacking on the face side. If Hardy leaves, the top faces would just be Morrison and Taker (Mysterio too, but he looks to be locked with Jericho for the time being). I'd definitely love to see a Punk/Taker program, though.

Umaga was released today, BTW. I imagine he'll be in TNA in 90 days.

Too bad about Umaga. It just didn't seem like he rebounded after last year's injury. Sort of like Kennedy. Sort of like Batist... oh.

Speaking of, Kennedy said that people want him to say something about injury-prone Batista, but he said Batista is apparently one of the nicer guys in the locker room. So, I guess I can only dislike Batista for his lack of in-ring abilities and overall stale image.

Edge will be out for eight months, thereabouts, with an achilles tendon injury. Eek. If and when Jeff Hardy leaves (and who knows with him?), it's going to be interesting to see who starts getting a push on Smackdown. John Morrison? Dolph Ziggler? Or will Moldy Oldy Undertaker reclaim the top spot?

I must say that while I love Taker, it's been refreshing to see new faces on Smackdown. Just as it is when Triple H and Cena aren't hogging screen time over on RAW.

Random thoughts on the state of WWE:

-Jeff Hardy (did you expect me to lead with anything else?) is being advertised for the UK shows later this year, while Edge has been removed this week (being replaced with Jeff on the ads), leading many to believe he has re-signed with WWE. No idea if it's true, since I've seen stories from both sides since before Wrestlemania, but it'd be nice if he didn't leave. Wonder what comes of his main-event status though. Hopefully he'll get a real World Title run if he does stay?

-This whole guest host deal is going to start taking away from RAW soon. It'll just be this thing where the hosts end up doing stuff the heels don't like, so the guest hosts look good.

-Glad to see Dolph Ziggler getting an IC title push. Hope he wins at NoC or SSlam.

-At some point, they're going to run out of ideas for Triple H and Orton. Then they'll re-do it all again.

-Could they have, you know... NOT made The Miz job to Cena twice? Seriously?

-Mark Henry has to be the luckiest WWE employee after Jeff Hardy. Now he's getting a babyface push? Goodness.

-I thought I had more to say, but guess I don't.

Shaq is hosting WWE Raw next Monday, I think I might tune in for that.

Who's defending TNA?

Say what you will about WWE, but they haven't had Mick Foley in the main-event for a long time. And no offense to the man, he's one of my all-time favorites, but he's not really meant to be in the World Title hunt. Even in his prime, it was a stretch. That's why I can't get into TNA. They keep giving the big spots to people who really shouldn't have it. And no matter what they do, they still have yet to convince me that they aren't just "The WWE Reject Show". I know it's ignorant, but when I read their PPV results, almost every match has a former WWE employee, if not two or more in each match.

Then you have Kurt Angle telling Dixie Carter "Me or him" in regards to Jeff Jarrett, and they've taken Jarrett off TV. Not that I'm complaining on that, I never got how Jarrett became such a big star in TNA.

It just doesn't interest me. I wish someone could convince me to watch it (whenever I did watch it, I liked it, but that's going back to January 07).

Anyway, Jericho posted on his Twitter that his match with Jeff this Friday is a must-see. Apparently, a number of fans have said the same. And no, I didn't read it in the Jeff Hardy Fanclub. Although if there was such a thing, I'd totally join.

OH OH OH and Jeremy Piven is hosting RAW in the next month. God-willing they keep the sushi away from him.

At least Triple H looks the part (and really, with backstage pull, Triple H and Jarrett are comparable). He looks like a star. I never get that vibe when I see Jarrett. And even though he's pissed off a lot of fans, I do think Triple H has what's best for the business in mind, not what's best at the moment. Jarrett always seemed to be about putting himself over and validating his otherwise tepid career.

Again, all speculation. I really don't know a ton about it.

HARDY HARDY HARDY!!!

Totally didn't expect that last night. I hope this is a sign that he re-signed with WWE? Hopefully? The wrestling sites keep reporting otherwise, even though he's on the rosters for November shows overseas. Anyway, hopefully this World Title run lasts longer than a month.

From this week's Smackdown spoilers:



I'm pretty sure a bunch of places have been saying he's sticking around, but I dunno. Is he leaving? Or are they just messing with all the people who think he is?
