Let us know what you thought.

Massive first pick! Cena to Smackdown. Will hopefully freshen up his character with new and no doubt boost ratings on the blue brand.

dang it i had Orton going to SD they both wont go

John Cena has been drafted too Smackdown.But...later on in the night Cena was drafted back to Raw.

Also heading the other way Rey Mysterio has been drafted to Raw!

Randy Orton was moved too Smackdown who does he feud with now?

In a big surprise there was actually blood on raw! not blading though...it accidentally came from the mouth of Michael Cole.So no the PG era sadly hasn't suddenly finished.

Mark Henry and the new exciting luchadore Sin Cara have been drafted to Smackdown.
Heading the other way Big Show and Alberto Del Riooooooo have been drafted to Raw.

All in all an exciting night of Raw with quite a few surprises.

Del Rio first up i would imagine, Wade Barrett again? Cody Rhodes maybe

Dude stick it in the thread and don't post spoilers cos mods will get angry.

as i was saying in the other thread

Cena to fued with Rhodes, Del Rio and maybe Barrett again

Yeah maybe Hodge and just changed the title John.

Meh works for me. They'll probably merge once someone sees em. Was a surprise move for sure.

Yeah didn't expect it thought Orton or Punk may have moved brands but theres still drafts too go anything could happen!

I take back the Orton comment,lmao

can they not keep them on seperate brands!!!

Orton forever in Cena's shadow

And it looks like Christians not going to get a major push! And if does win the title he's now unlikely to have a long reign.

unless Christian gets drafted to Raw, can there be a supprise draft or whatever at the end? usually WWE saves a big one till the end, who else could there be?

anyone else notice where Cole was whipping JR?

:spank:

The Miz maybe could go too Smackdown and Christian too raw.

or not lol

Then Cena gets moved back to Raw hodge lol

Very interesting show, wasn't at all suprised when Cena got drafted back to Raw. Looking forward to the Supplement Draft when all the midcarders move around; does anyone know when this is?
Also, whats everyones thoughts on Mark Henry turning heel?

Kind of expected a Mark Henry turn.

I guess this means he will feud with Christian for the WHC?

Just read the results and I was like "WOW! Cena to Smackdown!" but once Orton got shifted over as well I knew that Cena would be moving back to RAW.

No surprise that Del Rio's moving to RAW and swapping Mysterio and Sin Cara is a good move in my opinion, wonder if these 2 will ever end up feuding? Big Show switching with Mark Henry is a meh move.

Has Henry turned heel Dan?

Surely not? haha!

Yeah, Y2.

He slammed Christian on to the steel steps during the main event handing RAW the victory which set up the Cena move to RAW.

Yeah he has Y2D2, he clotheslined Cena for no reason out of nowhere in the middle of the 6 man tag match main event for the final draft pick.
Then when questioned by Christian, he threw Christian into the steel steps!

Ah right, cheers KB & Dan must have missed that bit.

So Christian's first feud as champion could be with Mark Henry?

That's assuming he wins it at Extreme Rules of course.

Well, with ADR moving and Cena and Miz staying it kind of points towards it. As of last week the plans were to give Christian the strap.

Yeah i think Christian will win at ER now Del Rio's been drafted.
Surely Mark Henry can't be in a world title fued?, the guy is a glorified jobber these days!

and christian wasnt before edge retired?

Having watched the WWE Draft I can't help but want to nail Vince McMahon with my TV!!

I leapt out of my chair when I though John Cena had been drafted to Smackdown, and then at the end of it he was back on RAW!! More and more my love for wrestling is slowly dying because John Cena seems to have a monopoly grip on the main event on RAW and clearly the new PG WWE is killing itself like a slow suicide. WWE is seriously lacking in mid-card talent. Do I see Kofi Kingston being a WWE champion? No. Do I see R-Truth holding the WH Championship? No. I was so excited back in 2005 when Edge, Orton and Cena made the main event bill and the mid-card was full with MVP, Kennedy, Bobby Lashley and Matt Hardy. The Matt Hardy and MVP feud was actually fantastic to watch as it was entertaining. Fast forward 2011 and where is that mid-card from 2005?

The WWE has some fantastic young talent in The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus and John Morrison (with a gimmick change) and my concern is that the WWE will run that talent into the ground and not allow it to develop. I would love to see a feud with The Miz and Dolph Ziggler. That for me can hold the main event on Raw. John Morrison could emulate Shawn Michaels. He has the charisma to do it and I wish the WWE would because I think if John Morrison could me a main event heel. I hate the whole wannabe rockstar gimmick and it doesn't work.

I don't want to keep seeing John Cena main events for the WWE Title. The WWE should use Cena like they use The Undertaker and Triple H. Use him with young talent and then keep him off the TV for a while because I would like to see him either go heel or go to Smackdown.

Bring back mic skills as John Morrison needs to sharpen up and the WWE also needs to let Christian have free reign on the mic. I am hoping that the draft might do more on the website than it did on Raw.

Can't have Christian feud with Orton though, unless you turn Orton heel. I'd say it will probably be a short; but hopefully 'inititial' first run for Christian.

Apparently Vince wants plans for Summerslam to start falling into place as of now so i'd imagine they will build a big heel up on SD ready for Orton to feud with.

No he wasn't.
He was just a solid midcarder.
Its not like he ever went weeks without being on SD! before he got injured, and he was never on Superstars; unlike Henry.

Could the initial short run be Del Rios and not Christians?

Del Rio wins the belt and takes it to Raw where Randy finds a way to bring it back to Smackers.

Christian feels bitter about Orton taking his and Edges limelight and turns heel to feud with a face Orton?

Del Rio gets a short initial run, Christian and Orton have a good feud for the title.

Do you know when the Supplement Draft starts?

Can't see it, they've scrapped NOC and MITB is months away. Plus, Orton is a much better heel than Christian!

I think they said 12 their time, so I would watch the WWE website from 17:00 onwards.

Unfortunately and bizzarely, Cena has been drafted twice. Once to Smackdown and then back to Raw later on in the night. Sin Cara on Smackdown will be better utilized than on Raw.

I can see Del Rio winning at Extreme Rules, if only because it seems too obvious he'll lose now that he's been drafted to RAW.

He might be a better Heel than face, but I think Christian would make a great heel in the way that the miz does.

Also who seels more merchandise:

A face Christian or a face Orton?

Not a bad idea Hobo, although idealy i'd like Del Rio's first reign to be at least 6 months.
Anyone notice Orton's beard?, i think it looks good

ORTON'S GOT A BEARD?!?

Jim Ross will be having a fit! He LOVES it when guys get beards!

"GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY! GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY! ORTON! ORTON! ORTON! FACIAL HAIR! FACIAL HAIR! FACIAL HAIR! BAH GAWD KING THAT RANDALL ORTON IS A STUD! A HOSS! BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP! LOOK AT THE BEARDAGE! LOOK AT THE BEARDAGE! ORTON IS FIXING TO WHOOP SOME ASS & TAKE SOME NAMES! BAH GAWD ORTON!"

Haha, it looks good IMO; makes him look less babyface.
Thoughts on Show coming back to Raw?, pointless IMO; he's the Unified Tag Champ which means he can come on either brand anyway!

He won't keep it. It's more likely because he had a 14 hour flight back from Qatar!

Yeah I can't see him keeping it either.

Randy Orton - The Most Pristine Man in Sports Entertainment.

Shifting Big Show right now is a very odd move, do him and Kane have a tag title match at Extreme Rules?

King Beer wrote:He won't keep it. It's more likely because he had a 14 hour flight back from Qatar!

So he has time to oil his body and fake tan, but not to shave?

Yeah..... priorities, Marky!!

Any predictions for the Supplement Draft guys?

Oh okay, cheers mate.
Any predictions?

Tatsu to Smackdown, he'll win MITB.

I thought Cody Rhodes and Sheamus were dead certs to swap shows, but I guess they'd have been in the main draft if that was going to happen. If he's staying on Smackdown then a Rhodes feud against Randy Orton would work this time round because Cody's more established now - he's ready to feud with one of the main men.
