Well, who do you think it'll be?
WWE just sent a message saying: 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.

I'd like it to be Eve. Unlike her counterpart on Raw I actually buy her in the role.
I'm kind of sad they have to announce one at all. I liked last Friday's show. Christian coming down and getting his rematch without having to have a hokey backstage segment setting it up with some authority figure. Just assume everything is set up before the show, and when the main event is made during the opening segment just say it is being "run through the higher ups" and of course it inevitably gets approved. There is no need for GMs anymore.

So it's not Booker T?
As for who it is: 1. Eve 2. Zack Ryder 3. Booker T (I guess) 4. Teddy Long 5. "Us"

Why couldn't SmackDown be the show that doesn't have an authority figure complicating things?

The idea of Eve I guess can make sense, especially if this eventually leads to AJ vs. Eve in a winner take all match

Booker T is a fair and just GM for a week before losing his mind, declaring himself royalty again, and stating Smackdown is his kingdom.
Cesaro, Aksana, McIntyre, and Barrett as his new Court optional.

Hornswoggle
Not going to lie, I'd mark like hell for GM Cara, if for no other reason than he could sit at a desk like 60s Spider Man

I hope not Hornswoggle. But Eve will be a good choice, but I'd rather it be Teddy Long.

I get the feeling that the WWE is putting women in positions of power to make themselves look good for election season.

If they're going to have an AJ/Eve GM feud I would rather it be along the lines of a Stephanie McMahon/Eric Bischoff or Bischoff/Long variety.

The thing is, unlike all the other GM feuds, the two GMs would actually be trained wrestlers, therefore their matches could at least be somewhat interesting. But, if we do get Booker, at least we wouldn't have a GM feud as they would both be faces.

I hope it is Booker T. Anything to get him off commentary.
