The One Man Draft

[Spawn of Kane]

Quite Simply....If, right now, you could pick one Superstar to draft from SmackDown to Raw...Or Vise Versa...Who would you choose and Why???

Give reasons as to what feuds it may open up, what they could bring to a certain championship battle, maybe even just to help elevate other talent.

My Pick, personally, would be to Draft Kane from SmackDown to Raw. I think so much could be done with the Big Red Monster on Raw...From feuding with guys like Bryan, DiBiase etc in the Midcard, to helping elevate Guys like Morrison even further into the Main event and also making Guys like The Miz seem more credible in the Main Event.

So...what about you guys,,,who would you choose and why??

Have at it!!!!

I would bring Sheamus over to Smackdown. He's been on RAW for about a year and a half, and I think he's run his course throughout the roster. Once Triple H comes back and (most likely) finishes up their feud with a win, Sheamus' RAW storyline will be complete, and he can go onto Smackdown to begin more new feuds.

I think Sheamus could be very versatile on Smackdown. He could put over Kofi much like how he put over JoMo, he could put on a feud with Big Show, or he could feud with Edge over the title. I could also see him in programs with Rey, Christian, or even Taker.

Sheamus would be a fantastic addition to Smackdown and I think that would greatly benefit the WWE.

Zack Ryder to Smackdown. They are so badly mis-using him on RAW that it's not funny. Why this guy has been pushed as the next Jesus is beyond me. He's got the charisma, he's got the mannerisms, he's got the in-ring work.

This guy is money! He's wasting away and jobbing pointlessly on RAW. Moving him over to the Smackdown brand, getting him involved in a feud with Kofi Kingston or someone like that could really elevate him to that next level.

By moving him over to Smackdown, that's already a step in a positive direction. He gets no time on Raw to highlight his skills; getting on the Blue Brand will hopefully mean longer matches and less jobs for Zack Ryder.

Woo woo woo, you know it. Sorry, i had to do that

Edge to Raw. Quite simply he belongs in the main event on the number one show. Edge is to well established, and too over to foil around on Smackdown. Even as champion, he is still just kinda there. He needs the exposure of Raw's Main Event

 

[Cocky King of The World1]

Chris Jericho to SD!. This guy can fued with all the young and rising talent , can be world champ on Smackdown, and Jericho doesn't have a big problem with losing to talent to put them over. He'd be a valuable option on Smackdown.

This is actually a great idea. Of course he would have to tie up the loose ends with Triple H when he returns, but that will likely culminate at Wrestlemania which usually happens before the draft. Unlike all of these other ridiculous ideas(I'm pretty sure Jericho isn't even with the company anymore) this could actually happen.

JGlass has me convinced with Sheamus, but for my second choice, I would move John Cena to Smackdown. I hate even saying that because I don't want to come off all smarky like it will somehow make Raw better because it wont. The only reason I would move Cena is for ratings. If Triple H comes back prior to the draft, He and Orton could man the ship on Raw and keep the ratings up. While if Cena moves to Smackdown, he alone has the star power to boost the ratings up. That's just my thoughts.

Can it be a tag team? If it can, Edge and Christian to Raw, because they can bring prestige back to the titles. If not, Edge to Raw. He deserves to be on the #1 show, and feud with the greats.

 

[JBK2008]

Undertaker to Raw for sure. He's been on the blue brand since the split and it would just be great to see him on the premier show more often before he retires.

 

[mikeyado]

Does the Brand Extension/Seperation even exist any more? It seems to me that gradually they are merging the two shows back in to one and that men from both rosters are routinely popping up on both shows.

That said, if I had to 'draft' one person, I would go for Sheamus to Smackdown. It's the obvious choice. Without Triple H he really isn't doing much on Raw and he has feuded with pretty much everybody on there. On SD he could feud with Edge, Taker, or even an upper mid card guy like Rhodes or McIntyre.

 

[Wolfdemon]

Not now but sometime in the next 6 months i'd like to see Dolph Ziggler move to RAW. This kid is like the next Edge. He is so cocky so sadistic and he took the ball and ran with it. He is going to be too great for anything that Smackdown has to offer. I think right now he needs Smackdown till at least after Wrestlemania to get over but after the draft and we get a little more talent to back up the Smackdown Roster it would be a great choice to move Ziggles to RAW.

 

[Charlton Chester Chimp]

They could move brett or bryan major from one of the brands so that both would be on the same brand, thus reuniting the major brothers, and then they'd go on to win the tag titles before wm27 and compete against wwe champ miz and wh champ edge in a tag match with a winners take all stipulation, the team that wins would then have to battle each other so that only one man could hold all the titles. Would be some main event.

Undertaker to RAW for sure. He needs to be on the Number one show before he retires. I want to see him fued with The Miz, Morrison, and Cena before he leaves.

That makes the most sense.

What I want tho, is Alberto Del Rio to RAW. I want this guy to be a big star in the WWE. The World Heavyweight WCW Championship does not mean anything compared to the WWE Championship. No one remembers the guys who were just WHC like Swagger, and Kane. Edge has won it, but also has held the WWE Championship on RAW. I tell you I cannot remember anything Edge has done as the WHC, but I can remember all the times on RAW when he had the title as the Rated R superstar.

I just think if Del Rio wins the WHC, he will be stuck there in that group.

If anyone was to move at the moment, it would have to be a Raw Superstar to SmackDown. Compared to Raw, SmackDown's roster is very small and fairly thin in terms of big names.

Although it has already been said, I would move Sheamus to SmackDown. He is a heel, which is a plus as the brand is missing big heels (main event heels of Kane, Del Rio and to an extent, Swagger just don't cut it). At this early stage of his career, he is wonderfully versatile. He is able to be World Heavyweight Champion, but he can also drop down into the midcard (although with the strength of SmackDown's midcard, he wouldn't need to drop out of the main event scene).

I see no negatives to him moving. Raw is packed at the moment and midcarders are unable to move up through the ranks because of the strong and large main event scene that Sheamus is a part of.

This makes the most sense to me, there is a wide scope of potential for Sheamus to grow on Smackdown.

My other choice would moving Drew McIntyre to Raw as I think the guys there are more compatible with him than the guys on SD and he has faced the main face mid-carders there.

For the sake of staying on topic, I'll say Nexus to Smackdown. They need to be split up into real matches as opposed to this gang warfare of theirs every week on Raw. It's tiresome to see them come out, never wrestle, then beat down ONE superstar.

Although, i say let the brands intermingle as needed. Get rid of the two show concept where only these stars are on show 1 and these stars are on show 2. Let them develop inter-brand feuds and bring interest to both shows.

 

[CelticCorey]

Alberto Del Rio to RAW so he could feud with Cena and Orton. There is no way in hell I would let Del Rio get buried. Cena and Orton could one up Del Rio every now and then but if Del Rio beats those two and out does them, not to mention his outstanding mic skills, he could become the heel maybe that Muhammad Hassan was supposed to be.

 

[Jackiz Kirey]

I would move Primo to Smackdown. Not many people know this, but Primo is a very talented guy with lots of potential. If WWE lets him talk, he will be GOLD on the mic and he is AWESOME in the ring. Smackdown would give him time to get over with the fans and have WONDERFUL feuds. On Raw, nobody uses him correctly... WWE can even draft him back to Raw after he is over with the fans. WWE is lucky to have Primo, not the other way around.

Im surprised noone has mentioned Wade Barrett yet. To me, this is an easy one, and makes the most sense.

Wade has accomplished alot on Raw, but perhaps he's accomplished too much, too soon. He's essentially feuded with the entire Raw roster as a member of Nexus, so there's no fresh feud waiting for him. Have him attempt to gain revenge on CM Punk or Nexus? Please. He already lost his feud wth Cena in a decisive manner, so he doesn't need another one he'ld lose easily. And heel ve heel mathups have proven to work so well in the past, haven't they? Barrett is a natural heel, so him turning face and teaming with Cena especially is a terrible idea.

Wade could mo0ve to Smackdown and have some ready made feuds. He's already been responsible for beating down Kofi Kingston, so a nice mid-card feud with Kingston could work, perhaps over the IC title if Kingston winds up taking it from Ziggler eventually. If that's "beneath him" at this point, no problem. He's had a history with Edge as well in beating him down, and Smackdown is short on main eventers in general. If Undertaker can return by Wrestlemania, there's another program that's tailor made for him base upon him leading Nexus in burying Taker alive.

Barrett would be a perfect fit for Smackdown. He has nothing left to do or prove on Raw, and Smackdown would allow a fresh start and for him to remain heel, both which would be infinitely harder if he remains on Raw. There's also several ready-made feuds for Barrett in Kofi, Edge, and Undertaker. His move makes sense both from a storyline standpoint to keep him away from Nexus, and also to help him regain momentum as a heel. Smackdown needs more upper card talent, and Barrett needs a change. It's a perfect fit.
