A decision has been made internally within WWE to to turn current WWE United States Champion Finlay into a babyface with so many people out of action on the SmackDown brand. This is just one of many changes scheduled to take place soon on the struggling brand.

Kristal Marshall was hospitalized after the Four Way Bra & Panties Match at The Great American Bash PPV last night. There is no word on what the nature of her injury was at this time.

According to reports, Mr. Kennedy did not blade at the PPV last night. Kennedy was drenched in blood by the end of his match with Batista and is believed to have caused the injury to his scalp after being thrown into the steel steps by Batista. It is also believed that Kennedy may have cut himself a second time on his head going into the ring post near the finish of the match.
