From what I understand (and I may be wrong), but it seems as if the WWE is consolidating the SD and ECW rosters, and either:

A) Doing what RRA said.

or

B) Phasing out the ECW brand completely.

I think the latter would be better. Nevermind the fact that the new ECW sucks. But 3 brands is far too much for the fans to keep up with. People don't watch ECW just because it sucks. People don't watch it because they forget. 3 WWE wrestling shows a week is asking a lot of the fans.

The original brand extension was enough, IMO.
