With the way they book Smackdown, they're not going to be hurting for long. They lost one of their best hands in Benoit, the entertaining Booker T, and the guy they wanna push in Kennedy. MVP will easily go into Kennedy's spot, Flair gets Bookers... but it's hard to figure out who gets the Benoit role.
And they better turn Lashley after this. He should feel guilty over this and have the rest of the McMahons and Coach take advantage after that. All the time Lashley has spent against McMahon, you just have to go down that route.
