Superstars is certainly a welcome addition for a stacked roster. I had something against it (and Main Event), which was the fact that wrestlers from RAW would clash with wrestlers from SmackDown, but you do you, bud.
Normal release and re-signing.

Hopefully Superstars sticks with the 2 RAW matches and 2 Smackdown matches so that there can be more time for wrestlers to get their reps in.

SD! RATING (80%, 2.86 MILLION VIEWERS)
-------------------
(OOC: A couple big matches added to the ONS card. Also ECW is kind of going to be a free-for-all in its final weeks. Kind of broke the rule of RAW wrestlers being on the show. Also to further answer your questions on Superstars, it will be a free-for-all as well. May even showcase some developmental superstars on the show.) |

Cena vs Orton and Edge vs Hardy are two great additions to ONS. Bradshaw as Lashley's first challenger is fine, I like that he kinda won in a fluky way and he can give Lashley some momentum.

RAW:A Cage match for One Night Stand seems like a good option to keep The Legacy out of the title match, but I don't know if that will fully work... Nice opener with Londrick retaining the gold. The Renegades aren't in the best form right now, but I can see them becoming a threat once again. Beth Phoenix is definitely welcome back in the RAW women's division, and she has a championship to get back. "Winter is coming"? Katie Lee Burchill? The segment got 80%, so my chips are not placed on her being the one behind the vignette, but I don't really know who can it be. By the 15-man Battle Royal we can see how stacked your RAW roster is. Awesome. JBL winning is not awesome, though  and I don't really know if you won't pull a Fatal 4-Way with Booker and Kennedy involved too. Sure, they didn't start the match, but that also means that they were not eliminated and I'm sure Kennedy will try to make it happen. --- ECW:Punk vs. McIntyre is a good ECW main event for the dying days of the brand. You got me wondering: Deuce and Domino would be a perfect fit for the original ECW. I can see them getting destroyed by The Gangstas, Sandman and The Dudleys on a weekly basis, specially if Cherry was ok with taking some bumps as well. Nevermind... it was just a wild take. Drew really needs some important wins in order to keep relevancy after losing the IC title and now losing to Punk. --- SmackDown:It's cool to treat Jericho vs. Burchill as a big match. Pretty nice opener. Super Crazy is now in the semis and he's one of my favorites to get a title shot. I hadn't thought about Burchill and McIntyre as a tag team, but it can be a thing as both definitely had some similarities. Good possibility. The ending to Maryse vs. Maria's match was a good one that can develop via some different branches. That's a plus. Oh, damn, I didn't expect Drew to interfere against Jericho. We can agree that Y2J is above the level of the Brits, but that's a great way of making a statement and they should be a threat, not for the World Title picture, but for the rest of the roster. The idea of McIntyre & Burchill vs. Jericho & Punk is nice. Edge vs. Hardy being announced so early may seem rushed, but the attack of last week surely was vicious. And a Falls Count Anywhere Match between both is surely going to sell tickets and generate PPV buys. Daivari advanced. Also cool. Good main event. MVP is being booked as a solid B player that holds the MITB briefcase which is ok by now. We have time to see his rise. --- I feel like SmackDown may have been the best show overall, as Burchill and McIntyre provided us some good moments and the divas' match was good for shock value.
