Now Umaga is back on Smackdown, the simple question is, how would you book him over the next few months? Would you give him a big push or keep him in midcard? Would you draft him to another brand or keep him on Smackdown? Face or heel?
If it was up to me, I would keep him on Smackdown and give him a solid push. I think he is extremely talented and far better than other monsters in WWE who are currently flavour of the month, such as Kozlov and Knox. I was a bit disappointed by his return, as squashing jobbers week after week is the most uninspiring and lazy way they could have brought him back after his injury. I still don't see why they couldn't have had him make a shock return in the Rumble match, especially considering how weak a lot of the later entrants were.
I would push him towards main event slowly (not a Kozlov push when he beats a few jobbers and is suddenly challenging for the WWE title). He should be facing guys like MVP and Kennedy pretty soon, but I don't want to see him turn into a jobber to the stars again. I think he should be WWE Champion at some point, but the problem is his lack of mic skills and current lack of a manager. =/
What would you do with him?

I would move him to ECW Smackdown already has Koslov and The Big Show as monster heels. Give him a manager, and move him to ECW and have him win the ECW title, then move him to Raw.

ECW would be quite a good idea. I loved ECW when Show was the dominant heel Champion, and Umaga could be great in that roll. It would also give him more TV time to show what he can do in the ring.
Who could manage him though?

I believe that taking Armando Estrada away from him was a huge mistake, the guy can't talk in the mic because of his character, and he is supposed to be a wild samoan, he doesn't look wild to me, having someone trying to control him seems more likely.
I heard many people say team him up with Manu and join the Tag Division, my question is, what Tag Division!?!
Right now, I just want to see what Umaga could do in a ladder match, so I'd throw him in the MITB. Hell, he can have a damn good shot at winning, but he needs to wrestle actual top guys instead of jobbers so he's as credible as he was.
I think Umaga deserves more than a team with Manu, personally. I don't understand why they got rid of Estrada as he was one of the most entertaining managers I have seen, and was fantastic in the role as Umaga's handler. Shame.

My Same thoughts exactly, the guy had Main Event potential written all over him, now that he is back people barely notices it, they just dropped the ball on him, off topic but that's why i feared Christian Cage going to WWE, they usually do that, hype someone in their return and just use them very poorly.
ECW would be quite a good idea. I loved ECW when Show was the dominant heel Champion, and Umaga could be great in that roll. It would also give him more TV time to show what he can do in the ring.

I don't know why but I like the idea of Striker leaving the anounce table and bringing Umaga into ECW and manage him, but then somebody would have to replace Striker as the announcer.

I Agree with the above saying to put him int the MITB so he can wreck shop
Then i'd say the smackdown! after Mania have him in a match with Taker, get dqed and just absolutely obliterate Undertaker afterwards to set up some sort of feud for the next couple of ppvs leading to a possible payoff around the G.A.B.
