According to a source, the decision to implement the fifteen-Superstar WWE roster trade was reportedly made sometime in the past week. One of the trade's biggest implications concerned the ECW Championship–as was reported on Sunday, the original plan called for Jack Swagger to win the title at The Bash. Instead, WWE opted to move Swagger to RAW, where he will feud with fresh babyfaces.

Traffic to WWE.com being down 30% compared to this time last year probably had something to do with why WWE didn't reveal who was involved in the trade on RAW Monday night, as a way to drive people to WWE.com.
