Backstage WWE Draft News & A Major **SPOILER**

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer

**THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A MAJOR SMACKDOWN! SPOILER FOR TONIGHT**!!

A match between Michelle McCool and Layla that airs on tonight’s episode of SmackDown! ends in a no contest due to incessant brawling between the former tag team partners. They are eventually separated by officials.

Layla then grabs the microphone and tells McCool she’s sick of her. She challenges her to a match at Extreme Rules, with no disqualification and no count out. McCool says she will only accept the challenge if it’s a Loser Leaves SmackDown! Match since she no longer has any use for her.

Though McCool announced the bout as a Loser Leaves SmackDown! Match at Tuesday’s SmackDown! taping in Greensboro, North Carolina, “WWE” is overdubbed in placed of “SmackDown!” during the telecast, which has already aired in Australia.

Therefore, Michelle McCool vs. Layla at Extreme Rules will be a Loser Leaves WWE Match.

It should be noted that Michelle McCool has been in a real-life relationship with The Undertaker for the last several years. With ‘Taker headed to RAW upon his return to WWE (before SummerSlam), there were rumors that this could have been a spoiler as it would basically be a way to ‘draft’ McCool over to RAW to be with ‘Taker. This is NOT the case. We’ve got a major breaking story coming in the next few minutes.

Something similar happened during the draft with Beth Phoenix and CM Punk. The two are also involved in a real-life relationship and WWE sources indicate Phoenix was drafted to RAW to keep CM Punk “happy”. Of course, Punk has not signed a new contract with WWE and is said to be “frustrated” with his position in the company. The excuse he’s giving WWE management is that he’s “burnt out”.
