WWE: ECW to stay connected to Smackdown as Raw/ECW merger called off

The Wrestling Observer newsletter is reporting that the scheduled plans to merge ECW with Raw have now been dropped. It appears the main reason is that Monday night’s are a much more hectic taping day in WWE and adding ECW to the schedule would become too stressful. It would also be difficult for ECW talent to secure house show positions as Raw’s roster is deeper than Smackdown’s.
