From WWE: BREAKING NEWS: Mr. McMahon will name the new General Manager of Smackdown at tonight's live event, and there is strong speculation it will be Booker T. This flies in the face of my Cageside colleague Geno's report during last night's Cageside Live podcast that the new Smackdown GM will be none other than Zack Ryder. For what it's worth, I still believe him since whatever WWE tells me has to be a lie.
