But whatever, good for a read.

The WWE Draft takes place tomorrow night on a special 3-hour edition of WWE RAW. WWE has promised to shake things up - here's the latest Draft news. Keep in mind that NONE of this stuff is confirmed:

-- The John Cena to SD! rumors continue to circulate among many backstage. This would be the 'big' shakeup. Keep in mind the Mickie James-John Cena storyline came to an abrupt end and they really want someone big as the main promotion when they move SD! to MyNetwork TV in the fall.

-- Much like previous years, WWE is keeping the draft very secretive, to the point that most all of the talent will find out if they're changing brands as soon as the audience does during the live show.

-- There has been some talk of moving the Women's Title to either ECW or Smackdown but no official decision has been made just yet. Vince feels that both of those brands need something to distinguish them from what RAW offers and the Women's Title just may be the answer to that.

-- JBL wanted to make his in-ring return on SD! several months back and he has Vince McMahon's ear. A move back to SD! for him would not shock me.

-- Brian Gewirtz is a huge fan of Santino with his comedy so don't expect him to leave.

-- Jamie Noble works as a backstage producer/agent on SD! so don't expect to see him move.

-- There could be something to Lance Cade appearing in the main event of RAW last week. There is talk that it could have been a setup to send him over to possibly ECW as a top heel.

-- There were rumblings that Randy Orton was a candidate to move to Smackdown before he broke his collarbone. And now there are rumblings that Batista could join him on RAW in a new Evolution faction that would likely feud with Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

-- Umaga is expected to be traded to SmackDown.

-- As stated on WWE RAW this week, The Undertaker will not be a part of the Draft.

-- Don't expect Triple H to go anywhere other than RAW.

-- Back in 2002, WWE did a live draft for television and a secondary draft with the results posted on the company website. A number of mid-level and lower-level wrestlers had to log on to the WWE site late at night after the draft to find out about their futures. It's expected that WWE will do something similar this year by announcing some of the trades on WWE.com after RAW as well as on ECW and SmackDown! later in the week.

I so can see people talking about failure if neither Cena or HHH go to Smackdown.

If JBL, Cena and Umaga go to SD, I expect to see Batista, MVP and Finlay going to Raw.

Why does it say moving the womens title to Smackdown? They are already making the SD divas title...
Anyways, I hope HBK, Jericho and Punk, and Cena go to SD... Batista, Edge, Morrison to Raw.
I really think it will be a good draft this year, because WWE feels the pressure. Last years sucked, the only big moves were Kennedy and Booker to Raw... So this year should have some awesome moves.

Ok so first of all I'd only really like either one of Cena or JBL on SD because the draft is supposed to open doors for new feuds and Cena and JBL feuded twice already (one of those feuds was a long one too) so that would make Sd even more repetitive and second of all I don't see wh everyone is getting happy about Umaga prolly going to SD. I mean you all moan about SD having loads of monsters (yes Umaga has talent unlike the others) but still, I'd prefer to see Umaga go to ECW than SD.

As for Lance Cade going to ECW as top heel then I'll give WWE a big thumbs up for that but he could do with Matt Striker as his manager because I don't have much confidence in his promos atm.

I would love to see John Cena head over to Smackdown! again, but I'm not sure that its going to happen. Honestly, I'm sick of predicting all this shit because half the time I am wrong so I'm just going to wait until 8 PM tonight and see what happens :)

I want JBL and Cena to go to SD! Umaga could join them, but I want MVP to go to Raw so bad, he is in a perfect position to elevate himself.

Wow, Batista, MVP, and Morrison to RAW plz. That would OWN like hell. Cena, Umaga and Punk to SD, and maybe Cade, and some other jobber to ECW.

I'm hoping Miz goes back to Smackdown and returns to his hardcore gimmick that he had a few weeks before the draft. I remember on the draft, not only did he not show any fear in the face of Snitsky despite being a lower card guy, but he gave Snitsky a hell of a fight. Then he moved to ECW and stopped being extreme, for some reason. So I want him on Smackdown and I want the badass Miz back.

I also want Miz and JBL to feud, what with all the mean things JBL said about him while on commentary. Lol.

^I want the Miz to die and stop ruining John Morrison for me lol. I agree with peep about moving Morrison to Raw, I'm all for that idea. I love Morrison, but rarely watch him recently because he's on ECW.
