Let us know what you thought.

Tatsu will win Smackdown. All of it.

I predicted Rhodes and R-truth to swap brands. (Both midcard heels, with Rhodes being the much better of the two so deserves to be on Raw.)
I also predicted Sheamus and Barrett to swap with their respective titles.
I can see Dibiase going to SD! and Mcintyre coming to Raw in the draft later on.

In all seriousness, i think Tatsu will go SD! later on today.

There's going to be a Supplemental Tatsu Draft next week on RAW, it's going to take up all 3 hours of the show.

Yeah I thought the other day that Sheamus and Barrett would swap because it would avoid the hassle of getting the belt off either of them.

Haha!

I hope they don't take Cody from Smackdown. Raw seems like a burial ground for midcarders with a bit of momentum, and Cody has really kicked on this year.

I wonder how all those guys must feel about being in the Supplemental Draft though? The word is that only the top guys know/knew where they were going and the rest of the roster would find out when we did. So would all the drafts done last night have been those 'top guys' who knew where they were going? Arguably you'd say that only Cena, Orton and Mysterio are the only 'top' guys who moved.

WWE just can't seem to leave guys on Smackdown alone. "What's that? He's making a name for himself on Smackdown? Get him to RAW quick!" I mean Del Rio's the most obvious example but I think he should have been allowed to stay on Smackdown to establish himself even further as a main-eventer.

It's almost a bad move to do well on Smackdown because you'll end up on Raw where you have no chance of reaching the top...And you just know they'll be back on Smackdown next year to 'rebuild' their career after being beaten every time they appear...

I wonder if Zack Ryder might get a chance on SD in this draft?

So the main event scene for Raw is potetially -

Cena
Miz
ADR
Punk

Maybe with JoMo, Rey and Big Show in and out. Looks a bit heel heavy.

Rumour is that 'Taker may be moved to RAW.

I don't see the point in drafting Taker to a certain show, he probably won't be around much so why not leave him as a 'free agent' to work either show if and when he's needed?

I'd still take Sheamus off TV and turn him face and give him the Goldberg treatment, just do it on RAW instead of SD!

why did WWE put the brakes on with Sheamus in the first place? I mean he moves from ECW to Raw as this destroyer heel who ends Jamie Nobles' career and who broque kicks commentators and puts people through tables and yet as soon as he wins the WWE title is turned into a cowardly type of character who Black Adder would be proud of!

He ran into John Cena.
