Backstory: With TNA and ROH downsizing and combining their powers to try and compete with the WWE. The WWE's size in profits and marketability were to large for TNA and ROH to match forcing both companies to be bought over by Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Within the profits and popularity of all of the newfound talent within this massive company, Vince had decided to mend ties with ECW's former owner and principle General manager in Paul Heyman to assume the role of his old position to resume at length with the conditions of letting Paul Heyman control all of the executive decisions with all of ECW's day to day operations. On the SmackDown side of operations, with Teddy Long and Vicky Guerrero constantly argueing on who to use and who to move where, Vince got fed up with all of the arguing and the steady yet declining ratings that SmackDown was producing. SO, in just, Vince fired both executives and named Nick Malone as the General manager in charge of Friday Night SmackDown in helping to get SmackDown to become the #1 show in network television. Nick's background in Wrestling spans across the globe after working in Japan and all over North America and Europe and now he has finally surfaced as the SmackDown General Manager. On the Raw side of things, Raw needed a consistency at the General managers position and with Stephanie and Shane declining the position to tend with in-house operations and to deal with their own families, Vince's next best option was to turn Frankie aka F4L. His alias is mysterious but his knowledge in wrestling is Not.

With the Massive Influx in talent coming in from both TNA and ROH, some recognizable names get reunited with some rather new accomplices. Stars from the WWE, TNA, and ROH were compiled into one room and selected by the General Manager's choice. Those that were selected have already been assigned to their specific brands and those of whom were not were wished the best to come of what their future endeavors may bring. Nick Malone walked into Stamford, Connecticut with a Huge grin on his face as he shook Vince's hand and promised Vince that he would not regret this opportunity of putting his stake of a fortune and franchise into the hands of Nick Malone. Nick Malone then met with his other fellow General Managers as they met together and discussed their following selections. On the SmackDown side, Nick Malone felt he had the best Roster of all 3 brands as after he made the selections, Nick Malone made the individual phone calls to each individual that he selected and picked up as a result of several trades that were made to compliment his "Perfect Roster". As seen below, is the following roster and draft selections that Nick Malone personally made and then detailed to fit the exact proportion of the following divisions and Titles that SmackDown will be using each and every Friday Night from 8-10 PM EST.
