Sucks for Ryder, he probably needed to get out of Raw, since the writers evidently have no intent of pushing him.

Get at me. Got everyone on the SD>Raw side cept the diva.

 

[Mizard of Oz]

So its looking like WWE's plan is to have Alberto Del Rio win the WH and most likely Cena win the E championship.


and probably have both major titles on raw, while the IC/US (midcard) titles are on SD!

 

[fuzzy]

exactly what i was thinking the second cena got drafted back to raw. gonna suck that SD won't have a champion, but maybe now they'll put more focus on the IC and US titles?

I'll comment on what happened after Raw:
9. Daniel Bryan to SmackDown. Alright, will probably get him more ring time. He's good in-ring, just needs to get a gimmick so we can have some real promos out of him.
10. Jack Swagger to Raw. Wait, hasn't he been on Raw for the past 2 months?
11-17. Jobbers/Divas
18. Drew McIntyre to Raw. Might be giving him a push now. Been seeing a little bit more of him in the past few weeks, so we'll see how he does here.
19-22. Jobbers/Divas
23. Kofi Kingston to Raw. Not my favorite, still think he's midcard talent, not too sure of this move if SD is going to be holding both midcard titles.
24-27 Jobbers
28. Alex Riley to SmackDown. What does this mean for the Miz and their bromance? Actually, wasn't Riley supposed to be fired by the Miz since Cena won a cage match against him a few months ago? Eh, who knows. I guess the same question goes for Brodus Clay and ADR, although they hardly have the same relationship. The "what about me, sir?" promo makes me think that ADR is just leaving Brodus.
29. Divas don't matter for the draft, since the titles are unified anyway.
30. Sheamus to SmackDown. Moving the US belt. Again, I like him in the ring, but he really needs to develop as a character. Maybe this is the best utility for him here.

 

[PeepShow]

Thanks for the update BRO.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

All they basically did was trade midcards and it sucks. Swagger should have stayed on SD to feud with Bryan. Hopefully Sheamus gets repushed up the ladder since Smackdown is so devoid of top heels right now. And he does have a character, he's a big fuckin Irishman that likes to hurt peopl, and when he was rolling, he was looking pretty legit. Everyone buys into the brogue kick and his mic skills are above average. If Christian does win the title, hopefully its as a transitional champ to hand it over to Sheamus. Maybe we can get some Sheamus-Taker matches before Orton comes in to take it off him.

Glad Big Show is on Raw, please give this man a title feud, they don't necessarily have to give him a run, just a run up top for a month with Miz, just to freshen up the stale WWE title picture. Just please keep Cena away from it. There's plenty for him to work with in McIntyre, Del Rio, R Truth ( a simple feud that almost writes itself)and even Swagger. Him working with those guys would freshen him up a bit and help elevate those guys that desperately need elevating.

And they need a third top face BAD. They've already began the phasing out of Rey by putting him on Raw and Sin Cara as the top latino on the latino driven SD, and really there is not much behind Cena, Orton and Show. Taker and Trips don't count since they are novelty acts nowadays. Who's there to fill the void? Christian and Morrison are both lacking and only get decent pops with good crowds, I don't know when or if they are going to turn Miz and Show and Kane are Show and Kane. The problem they have with the face situation is alot more troubling then losing Punk since they have a plethora of heels they can plug in his place till he returns. If ever there were a time Jericho was needed, that time is now.

 

[Luke Flywalker]

^Vote for anyone but Jericho on DWTS then >_>

 

[seX-Power]

Mark Henry to feud with Christian over the WHC. Pls.

 

[The Showstopper]

I was looking forward to seeing Cena on Smackdown. Orton should have stayed on Raw

 

[Kaedon]

This is all well and good, but lets see (giving them this week as a grace period) how long they go without having Randy Orton show up on Raw, ADR on SD and the like. Why are we supposed to get excited about this when the BE hasn't really been in effect for the past few months?

 

[NinoBrown]

Is the Draft even important anymore since stars from both shows end up showing up on RAW and SD?

 

[1chiban]

One would imagine that either Orton or Christian are going to turn hell so they can feud for the title? Unless the World Title ends up on Raw until one of the Raw title are won via MITB cash-in (I think someone has already suggested that, can't remember who. But I can see it happening)

 

[Hometown Kid]

Hawkins and JTG to Raw, push 'em, don't fire.
