The Draft - How It SHOULD Go Down!

The draft started off as a good way to bring talent from Smackdown to Raw to take that person to the next level. We saw it with John Cena, Carlito, Kennedy and a host of others, usually with the deadwood going the other way, ECW was also an escape route.

This years draft is very important however as WWE has been hit with so many injuries, suspensions and other bad luck that the rosters need a good shake up. The tag division on Raw was meant to get a boost with the arrival of London & Kendrick but just slipped further down the list of writers priorities. Smackdown and ECW have so little storyline action that i don't even bother watching them, as for Raw i don't really know why i watch it!

The first thing people need to realise is that RAW is WWE, Smackdown and ECW are clear after thoughts and can operate with virtually no star power, so this draft i predict ALL the big players coming over!

• Edge to Raw I think this is a good move as he is the no.1 heel at the moment, with rko rko'd and if he does come over, i can see him dropping his belt at Night of Champions. He can work a program with Triple H and Cena, and maybe even Jericho and Hardy, This would definately boost the ratings.
• Rey Mysterio to Raw As the biggest little man is still out with an injury i can see him coming to raw, also to boost the ratings, he wont be back for a few more weeks but i think putting him in a feud with Jericho would be money, we could also see a Hardy vs Mysterio match which would draw huge if booked right.
• Umaga to Smackdown Everyone seems to know that this IS gona happen, but it makes sense, he's lost so much momentum since his feud with Cena that he needs to be a monster some place else, he can possibly chase the US title.
• JBL to Smackdown This makes sense in a way, his failed comeback has done nothing on Raw and i think he could challenge for the World title, he's great on the mic and even though he cant carry a match he can make anyone a crowd favourite, even John Cena!
• CM Punk to Raw This is probably not the best move for him as the politics on Raw will probably screw him over in the long run, but short term i can see him cashing in his MITB shot and maybe headline a PPV in Autumn, only if he's a heel though. Maybe a IC vs MITB feud with Jericho could be in the offing.
• Snitsky back to ECW So he can stay there and never darken my screen again.
• Cody Rhodes to Smackdown after losing the tag belts to Dibiase and his mysterious partner (i think DH Smith) Cody and Hardcore are going there own ways, Cody has more chance on the blue brand anyway.
• Hardcore Holly to ECW Hardcore would be a good addition to ECW, he can suck there instead! But seriously he has a lot of experience which he can pass on to the younger guys, speaking of which...
• Elijah Burke to Raw Another talented worker that should be given the chance to break out on Raw.
• Kofi Kingston to Smackdown Already a firm favourite with the fans, a move to Smackdown would boost his career and maybe even set him up for a switch to Raw next year.
• Finlay to ECW This would be similar to Benoit's move to ECW last year (where he would be a mentor/trainer and overall best worker on the brand) Hornswoggle would go with him and probably fit in with the world of Sci Fi, with his brawling style he would be a good choice for ECW champion (better than Chavo anyway)
• Super Crazy to ECW Because he deserves much better.
• John Morrison to Raw I think he maybe ready for another shot on the big show (no pun intended) and a possible feud with Jericho for the IC belt is mouthwatering.
• Santino Marella to Smackdown I for one dont want this to happen, but the way his value has dropped since Maria has left his side i think he may go over to Smackdown to chase the US Title and another diva.
• Kelly Kelly to Raw Obviously because she is the most desired diva and no.1 choice for the next WWE Playboy shoot.
• William Regal to Smackdown Another move i dont want to happen, but i think after his aborted/f***ed up push due to his suspension i can see him being dumped over on Smackdown once again.
• Charlie Haas to Smackdown Vince may have had him help him during the Money give away, but its a well known fact that VKM is not a big fan, sending him to Smackdown is probably a nicer option than firing him completely

I can also see possibilities in Kennedy or Orton moving to Smackdown but i think the above choices are pretty solid moves, nobody cares if the divas swap brands and it would be foolish to break up any of the tag teams as there are only 3 anyway! Just have to wait and see if Vince and the writers see things the same way!

Should be a good Raw, maybe we'll get a match or two aswell.
