On Tuesday afternoon, Shane McMahon announced via social media that he has selected the official General Manager for SmackDown, and that the person will be revealed on next Monday night’s edition of WWE RAW.
As noted during RAW this week, Shane McMahon was selected as the “commissioner” of SmackDown, focusing on the business end of the brand while the GM he picks will handle the week-to-week duties on television. Likewise, Stephanie McMahon is the commissioner of RAW and will have a GM to represent the brand on TV each week.
The WWE brand split takes place on the first live WWE Draft edition of WWE SmackDown on Tuesday, July 19th.
I'm very excited to announce that terms were agreed to today with the new SmackDown GM. The person will be revealed live this Monday on Raw.
