I was right!
As I predicted in yesterday's post, Edge cashed in his contract and defeated The Undertaker in the closing moments of the Smackdown episode that will air on Friday night.
I had planned on avoiding the spoilers until the show but the WWE took the approach to announce the title change on their website.
It is peculiar for the WWE to break the news like this. They usually have stories up on their site on Fridays with breaking news informing the reader of certain people being seen backstage at the arena where 'tonight's Smackdown is taking place.'
Their mentality must be that the newsworthy moment will bring in more viewers who will want to witness the title change themselves.
I personally think it could have a contrasting effect as I am sure some people will not want to sit through a show knowing the end result.
But then again - Titanic did big business at the box office. Everyone knew what was going to happen in the end on that one!
