No Mercy Main Event Changed

Was the WWE afraid Lashley wouldn't be a big enough draw?

Less than a week before No Mercy, General Manager Theodore Long has ordered Sunday’s World Heavyweight Championship Match to be changed to a Fatal Four-Way.

WWE.com had the accoucement.

Per the General Manager’s orders, King Booker will now be forced to defend his gold against not only No. 1 Contender Bobby Lashley, but also former World Heavyweight Champion Batista and Finlay.

It's never a good sign when plans are changed so close to the event. It's just another indiciation of Smackdown being treated a whole lot worse than WWE RAW ever is.
