This week, both Raw and SmackDown get extreme makeovers, following last week’s announcement by WWE’s Board of Directors that they would switch control of each show in an effort to help determine which General Manager should control both shows. While SmackDown GM Theodore Long took control of the March 5 edition of Raw SuperShow, GM John Laurinaitis prepared to take the reins of Friday’s SmackDown. (WATCH)

Now, with Laurinaitis in charge of this week’s SmackDown, the WWE Universe is left wondering what steps “Mr. Excitement” will take to prove himself the true power behind WWE’s current glory.
