Possible Draft Spoilers

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>
</td> </tr> </tbody></table> The web address of Alberto Del Rio's profile page on WWE.com denoted the WWE Superstar as a member of the Raw roster today.

Under the "All" bracket on the WWE Superstars page on WWE.com, his picture linked to the web address www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/albertodelrio. The error has since corrected as the URL now redirects to his original SmackDown based page.

It should be noted that if the page was not legitimate, an error page would be displayed (www.wwe.com/404-not-found). No error page is displayed for www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/albertodelrio.

Similarly, SmackDown Diva Beth Phoenix was denoted as a member of the Raw roster over the weekend. The miscue was corrected this morning.

WWE officials have discussed moving Del Rio to Raw during tonight's WWE Draft as he is currently scheduled to headline SummerSlam against John Cena. It has also been broached for Del Rio move to the brand as World Heavyweight Champion, with The Miz, as WWE Champion, heading to SmackDown.

Beth is whatever, she's seemingly been back and forth but is obvious they're bringing her back for an inevitable Kong feud.

Del Rio moving to RAW would be pretty good for him as it would give him new high profile feuds in Cena, Orton and possibly HHH but Miz i'm not so sure about other than maybe a Rey & Christian feud.

This reeks of WWE messing with the spoiler hounds, doesn't it?

^^^
That's the vibe I got since WWE couldn't be dumb enough to spoil their draft moves with errors. That said I do see Del Rio moving to Raw and wouldn't be surprised if Miz got put on Smackdown though I'm gonna say that doesn't happen.

 

[Dale]

If they are working us, then fair play to them but I still think some of these could end up being legit.

The official website of WWE apparently has John Cena, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio earmarked as changing brands during tonight's WWE Draft—in addition to Alberto Del Rio and Beth Phoenix. The website has created pages on the aforementioned WWE Superstars denoted as members of their opposite brand.

John Cena to SmackDown?
www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/johncena

Randy Orton to SmackDown?
www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/randyorton

Rey Mysterio to Raw?
www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/reymysterio

Alberto Del Rio to Raw?
www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/albertodelrio

Beth Phoenix to Raw?
www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/bethphoenix

The pages are legitimate because an error page would otherwise be displayed. For instance, an error page is displayed for Melina on SmackDown and JTG on Raw.

Regarding Cena possibly joining the SmackDown brand, it's worth noting that he is advertised to appear at tomorrow night's SmackDown taping at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Wow if they did that then they aren't fucking around with bulking up Smackdown. No way I see both Orton and Cena moving to Smackdown. Orton yes, but Cena can't see that at all let alone both.

 

[SAIYANS]

Cena link goes to - http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/johncena
Orton link goes to - http://www.wwe.com/404-not-found
Rey link goes to - http://www.wwe.com/404-not-found
Beth goes to - http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/bethphoenix
ADR goes to - http://www.wwe.com/404-not-found

They are just fucking around it seems. It might turn out to be true, but you can bet your ass that if Orton and Cena go to SD, HHH is returning to the ring and Taker is coming to Raw.

 

[SAIYANS]

But since we are talking spoilers, last I heard from Meltzer the midcard guys being looked at were Cody, Swagger, McIntyre, Kofi, Truth, and Barrett.

 

[PHX]

Barrett to Raw
Truth to Smackdown

Are two moves I predict happening.

 

[SAIYANS]

I'd like to see
- Taker, Kane, Big Show, Kofi, Cody, Rey, Wade, Swagger, and Gabriel to Raw. (HHH returns to in ring action as well)
- All the Raw Divas, Orton, Cena, Bryan, Sheamus, Ted, and Truth to SD.

Tag titles go to the Raw brand full time and SD gets the diva division full time.

 

[Baller]

Swagger has to be a home run to move to Raw. If Daniel Bryan doesn't move to Smackdown, I would be shocked as well

 

[Dale]

All the links revert back to their original pages, so see what happens I guess.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Taker's been on SD for god knows how many years now and I don't see that changing. Mysterio has from my knowledge been on Smackdown ever since he first came to WWE, so I don't see him being drafted to Raw either.

Just last night I was thinking that perhaps Punk & Orton could goto SD to continue their feud. Have Nexus disband and use them as singles wrestlers on Raw, SD or Superstars (before some eventually get released/sent back to developmental). But I don't see Punk moving. Orton I can see.

If there's a major shakeup instead of the usual main-event babyface goes to 1 show and the other show gets another main-eventer with the rest of the draft just being used for the mid-card guys, then i'd be all for it.

 

[Dale]

I think Rey was drafted 2 years ago. Not entirely sure when, but he's definitely been on Raw.

 

[SAIYANS]

Rey was IC champion, teamed with Bourne, and had feuds with Kane/Punk in his one year as a Raw superstar.
