As of late I've noticed, it looks like things have been shaken up, and where does Edge/HHH wind up. Etc.....The draft is early this year, and I think this is just what WWE wanted. Everyone is all over the place, in the palm of their hands. I've not been interested in wrestling, since '05. Now, I've never been more interested in my entire LIFE. The draft is looking amazing, we might just get to see a 50 man shuffle again >.> AMAZING. Can't wait.

gut feeling is Cena to SD and HHH to RAW.after how the show tonight ended it makes sense.Cena needs to move to SD for new fueds and HHH if he fueds with Orton will probably need to be on RAW and he'll be with Stephanie.

Yeah, well.. the way I see it.. They're setting up for either a unification, I doubt it, but it would be great. With a WrestleMania 2000 spin off, a McMahon in each corner and Vince, because he lives for controversy, screws over his son in law, Triple H, and sides with Orton. That would be great, something like Triple H and Edge both defending against Orton and Cena in a fatal fourway. Unlikely to happen, but it would be a great... GREAT move, from a business standpoint, that is.

the draft should be great, i need the wwe to get cage out of ecw and on to smackdown or raw. i would put him in a program right away as he is one of the best i have seen in a while/ he has in ring ability and can work the stic. also send cena and the animal to smkdwn and h and taker to raw. so many monster possabilities. im very excited about wrestling right know. and also send raw shelton and smckdwn kofi..

i think triple h will be drafted back to raw and either cena will get drafted to smackdown or the feud with edge will be inter-promotional. maybe batista will get drafted back to smackdown because ever since he went back to raw he has done absolutely nothing. christian may get traded to smackdown. maybe draft kane to smackdown or big show to raw. maybe kofi kingston to smackdown but i would like to see him stay on raw. maybe draft shelton benjamin or mr. kennedy back to raw and chris jericho or santino to smackdown. or just finally draft miz and morrison to raw. its pathetic that the raw tag team championships appear more on smackdown than where the tag titles are suppose to appear. or give the straps to a team that needs it. put the straps on cryme tyme then let them drop the titles to rhodes and dibiase. at first i wanted mvp to get drafted but now i think he should stay on smackdown because he has a current feud with shelton benjamin for the u.s. title which looks like right now they are going to put the u.s. strap on mvp. or switch the mid-card belts. keep cm punk as i.c. champ nd trade mvp with cm punk.

I see it as, Edge/HHH will stick to SD while Orton/Cena (Cena being the most likely challenger towards edge) will still be on raw. They will both appear on both shows each week. Even other superstars can wrestle where ever during this period. But after WM25, since the Draft is a week later they will re-split the brands

Works perfectly and thats why the Draft was made to happen so early this year.

I can't wait for the draft.
After what happend on RAW it looks like it will be Orton vs HHH and Cena vs Edge. I think HHH will be drafted back to RAW not only cause of Steph but also to contiune feuding with Orton. If this does happen I would loved to see something like this happen as far as Orton and HHH are concered.
Orton Challanges HHH for the WWE title they feud a bit up to WM and at WM they have their title match. Now I would love to see HHH hang on to the title but I also would like to see this happen. Orton wins the title at WM from HHH. Then at the draft show with Orton as the champ he wrestles for a draft pick for RAW( now this could be a Championship rematch with HHH or some other match), ofcourse Orton would win the match and a draft pick for RAW and just when he thinks he doesn't have to worry about HHH no more cause he is on SD, the draft pick is made and it turns out to be none other than.......HHH.
I think it would be something if Orton won the pick that brought HHH back to RAW, also I think that if HHH came back to RAW they could also do a DX vs Legacy if HBK stays on RAW as well

Everyones forgetting, each year an upper mid-carder goes to ECW to win the ECW Championship. this year it could be MVP or Kennedy maybee Shelton Benjamin.
But before any of them get theyre shot, I'd like to see Paul Burchill with a nice ECW title run, or even if he gets drafted to Raw or Smackdown an I.C. or U.S. Championship run.

I don't see a major mid-carder going to ECW just yet with Christian on the scene. I think someone will go across, but no-one big until Christian's time to move happens. Plus Shelton went to ECW and all that happened was him going back to Smackdown

The only reason Christian is on ECW is because, in my opinion, it's Vince's form of 'punishment' for leaving the company back in 2005. He will win the ECW title at Wrestlemania, lose the title on the next ECW then get drafted. I reckon he'll get drafted to Smackdown and possibly get involved in a storyline with Edge and Cena. Christian is too big a talent to be on ECW, he should be main eventing most PPV's. He was seriously under-used during his first stint in the WWE and now they should rectifie that by making him a top star.

Hm but especially with Christian in ECW right now, and highly likely to win the ECW belt off Swagger at WM, it would make perfect sense to draft a midcard guy over - someone like MVP, or Kennedy if he ever comes back, or whoever - and put them in a feud with Christian over the belt. This would most likely be a good feud if they pair Christian with another wrestler of his size and with decent in-ring abilities, and after a few months, that guy can finally win the ECW belt from Christian, and after having this feud with an ECW champion who actually has some star power going for him, could go the Matt-Hardy-Way for a few months, being the top guy in ECW before moving on again, and Christian could be going on to feuds on RAW or Smackdown earlier, where there are enough guys he could have decent programs with.

I really see no point in having Christian as the sole top guy in ECW basically; he definitely should have someone he can be put into a decent feud with. It will do nothing for him if he fights Mark Henry week in and week out. But if they pair him with, say, Morrison, MVP or even Shelton around the ECW title, this could not only get people interested in watching ECW, but could help both Christian and whoever he feuds with a lot as well, before the two are considered ready to move on to bigger things.

I don't think Christian is going to win the belt off of Swagger, I have a feeling that he's just going to put Swagger over in Swagger's first Wrestlemania match and then he's going to get drafted over to Smackdown, hopefully to do something with Edge, either to help him out with whatever program they put him in at the time, or to fight against La Familia.

I think they're going to draft MVP over to ECW to feud with Swagger for the belt, and they'll probably send over one other mid-carder so there is somebody else beside Finlay and Mark Henry to fight for the title.

As for the rest of the draft, some of the main-event names are going to be pretty predictable. It looks pretty certain that Cena is going to go to Smackdown and HHH is going back to RAW. I feel like Big Show needs a change of scenery. He's had his bit with HHH, did a program with Taker (which sucked), and has basically had his moment in the sun on Smackdown. I think it's time for him to head over to RAW and feud with someone over there. I also think that CM Punk would do better on the Smackdown roster, not that he's not doing pretty well for himself over on RAW, but I feel like he and Edge put on a pretty good show together, plus you could use last year's MITB as grounds to start a feud between the two.

watch for steph to swerve hhh. legacy is all 2nd or 3rd gen stars and so i steph seeing as how she controls raw this would be a great feud with hhh coming to raw and a better way to end wrestlemania and set up a 3 hour blockbuster draft...thats just my opinion i could be wrong

I think, unless the WWE throws a major swerve, the draft have already been somewhat devalued. I understand that everybody wants to see the biggest WrestleMania ever, but having Edge and Cena feud, and Triple H and Orton feud takes away from the draft because they've practically already made the switch. If Triple H goes on with his match and faces Randy Orton, unless Orton wins, the draft is somewhat diminished. The same thing goes for Edge and Cena. Cena needs to lose and Orton needs to win, or vise-versa, to fix the whole brand issue. Even if they do that, however, getting drafted to teh other show defeats the purpose of those two matches going that way. I'm dissapointed at what they're doing, but it's interesting, even though it diminishes the whole draft itself.

in my opinion there should only be 2 brands, raw and smackdown, no ECW! the wwe was awesome with only 2 brands. it made better fueds and alot better matchs to watch that were actually for a point.Just put all the wrestlers that were on ECW to smackdown or raw. Now for the draft, i think and hope the undertaker moves to raw and shawn michaels goes to smackdown just for the fact of new rivalries that would be nice. Also shelton benjamin should bring the US title to raw and punk bring the IC title to smackdown. Lastly Christian should either go to raw or smackdown preferable raw.
