"I’m happy I stayed with RAW," he motioned to SLAM! Wrestling. "There’s no difference between the calibre of talent on the shows, but RAW is looked at as the flagship, Vince’s baby and things like that, so being there, and being chosen to be there, it’s a good indicator that they want me around, so I’m happy with that. I lost Carlito; I lost Maria, so we’ll be starting from scratch in terms of who we’re kind of running with on the show. It’s kind of a fresh start."
Carelli, out of character for most of the conversation, indicated that the writing team plans to make Santino a more active player on the RAW landscape...More?

Rumor Mill - Update on Hunter's Move to SmackDown
The decision to move Triple H to SmackDown was actually made back around the time the deal with MyNetworkTV was reached. The network knew from the start that they would be marketing the show around The Undertaker and Triple H as the two biggest stars.
Right after WWE's European tour after WrestleMania, The Undertaker, Edge, Vickie Guerrero and Triple H were brought in to the studio to tape promos for MyNetworkTV. Triple H's promo had him spitting water into the camera saying, "You're watching Friday Night SmackDown right here on MyNetwork TV." The fact that Batista wasn't there for the promos shows that the decision was made that far back.
Those promos will begin airing this fall. Only a few people knew of the promos and had to sign a non-disclosure agreement which expired on 6/24, because the info was released on 6/23. The actual filming was finished in April and the ads were completed in late May.
