Due to the low ratings, WWE and Sci-Fi have come to terms and ended the ECW Brand. While everyone was happy with the ECW brand, it just wasn't doing good enough to stay on the air. Thus the roster will be divided up equally between RAW and Smackdown and the ECW Championship will be retired. Also, seeing as how the WWE Tag Team Champions, were ECW Superstars, the Tag Team Titles will be vacated due to the future of the team being in question.
In other news, WWE came to terms on the release of a few superstars, those being The Great Khali, Big Daddy V, and Dave Taylor. WWE wishes them the best in all future endevors.
Be on the look out for the list of ECW Superstars who will be going to RAW or SmackDown.

RAW opened with tag team action featuring Carlito/Santino versus Cade/Murdoch versus London/Kendrick in a Triple Threat Elimination Tag Match. After a hard fought battle, Carlito and Santino were the first team eliminated after Paul London nailed a London Calling on Santino. Cade and Murdoch almost had the win after Cade nailed a devestating spinebuster on Brian Kendrick. London went for a hurricanrana on Murdoch but he countered it into a powerbomb and then Cade and Murdoch nailed Kendrick with a fierce High Low for the win and the Number One Contendership for WrestleMania. They will face the World Tag Team Champions, Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes.
After a brief commercial break we saw Super Crazy in the ring as Kevin Thorn made his way to the ring. Thorn made quick work of Crazy and finished him off with the Original Sin for the win.
Backstage Randy Orton was seen talking to General Manager Regal, wanting to know what his announcement about the Triple Threat Match was. He told Orton that he would find out when everyone else finds out. Regal then said that the next match will determine who will be Jeff Hardy's challenger for his Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.
After a quick commercial we see Paul Burchill, Elijah Burke, Val Venis, and Stevie Richards in the ring. Burchill and Venis are the only two in the ring in the final moments of the match. Venis almost hits a Money Shot on Burchill but he is able to roll out of the way and then he nails Venis with a standing shooting star press for the win. Katie Lea Burchill comes in the ring to congratulate her brother as Jeff Hardy is seen on the stage looking on.
General Manager Regal made his way to the ring as we went to a commercial. When RAW returned Regal was in the ring with a microphone. He said that he was trying to think of a way to make the triple threat at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship more interesting and he has come up with something. He says that the man who is not pinned in the match will get an instant Number One Contenders Match at Backlash. Orton comes out and says that's crazy and he shouldn't have to defend his title against one of the two men he is going to beat. Regal says it's final, and official.
King and JR go over the current WrestleMania XXIV Card
WWE Championship Triple Threat Match Randy Orton defends vs. John Cena and Triple H
World Heavyweight Championship Edge defends vs. The Undertaker
Ric Flair's Final Match Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
World Tag Team Championships Holly and Rhodes vs. Cade and Murdoch
WWE Tag Team Championships Tournament Finals
Intercontinental Championship Jeff Hardy defends vs. "The Ripper" Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea Burchill
The main event is announced as being Triple H, John Cena, and Randy Orton versus Umaga, JBL , and Mr. Kennedy. King and JR wonder if the team or Orton, Cena, and Triple H can get along.
Up next Shawn Michaels was in the ring and was putting over his match against Ric Flair at WrestleMania. He says he is honored that Flair's last match will be against Shawn Michaels.
Chris Jericho makes short work of Charlie Haas, beating him with a Walls of Jericho. Jericho then grabs a mic and cuts a heel like promo, wanting to know why he doesn't have a match yet at WrestleMania. Hes says it a travesty that WrestleMania doesn't feature Chris Jericho. He says he will have a match at WrestleMania...
After a short break, it's main event time. The team of Orton/Cena/Triple H exploded mid way through the match and all three brawled with each other. The show ended with Orton laying out Cena and Hunter with an RKO. Orton stands over the two with the WWE Title in hand.

Nice results, but its boring to read. The writing itself is good, but the format is boring. Add a logo and headings maybe? I dont know, just spice it up a bit. First match was good, but I wish Londrick had won. Loving Thorn getting pushed. Wrestlemania looks great.

The word going around the Smackdown locker room is that the United States Champion, Montel Vontavious Porter may be starting his own faction. He is currently looking for a few good men who he can count on.
Also, Chris Jericho was stopped as he left Smackdown, after costing CM Punk his match with Kenny Dykstra and told WWE.com that if Punk is man enough, he will see him at WrestleMania. Punk has not responded yet but it is very likely he will accept.
