- There are continuing talks about bring Extreme Championship Wrestling back following WrestleMania XX. The current idea is to get Paul Heyman fired from the Smackdown brand and work for ECW as a rebel brand. It is possible that most of the ex-ECW wrestlers will be on the ECW brand. WWE would promote ECW as competition and not one of their official brands. If this does indeed happen, Shane McMahon may get involved in the story and help Heyman start the ECW brand. WWE would keep the budget low for the brand, run one PPV per quarter, and possibly give it a one-hour slot on Saturday nights each week.
