Del Rio was drafted to RAW tonight. Makes the World Heavyweight championship match interesting since to me at least it seems clear that Christian will win otherwise Smackdown wouldn't have a major title.

Still Del Rio will be in the mainevent right away on RAW up there with Miz and Punk as the top heels. A feud with Cena would be interesting since they have never met before.

Who would you like to see Del Rio feud with on RAW?

Del Rio on Raw kind of makes me mad because he was going to be the top heel on Smackdown. Now he is on Raw and is clustered with the Miz. It is whatever I would like to see him with the WWE title this year, just to finish his push.

RAW is packed with top heels now whereas Smackdown don't really have any top heels. They have guys that could fill that role but are unproven, except for Henry, so far. Del Rio staying on Smackdown would have helped them out and given Del Rio that title. Like you said Miz is the top heel on RAW and Del Rio is going to take a back seat to him. Looking at the roster Cena seems like the only logical option for him.

It makes sense in a way because it will give Del Rio a higher profile being on the top show, then again he has only just started the feud with Christian, and having only debuted last summer surely has plenty of other guys to face on the blue brand, so it is a little rushed from that point of view.

It keeps pushing back that title win as well which has been expected since the Royal Rumble. He really only had three feuds on Smackdown; Rey Mysterio, Edge and Christian so like you said he had plenty of options and Smackdown could have used a top heel. Be interesting to see what WWE have in store for him on RAW with The Miz being the top heel.

Feud with Cena seems inevitable. A feud with Morrison could work as well. He may have done very well staying on SD but I don't think he gets too lost in the shuffle on Raw.

Cena v ADR at SummerSlam is pretty much a lock in my mind.

That being said, the reason they had the draft was to get a top babyface on Raw with Edge leaving. So in the process of the draft, Smackdown loses their one established heel and that doesn't get replaced? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to this guy.
