I hope Raw gets:
MVP
Maria
Maryse
Evan Bourne
Hurricane Helms
Carlito
Jeff Hardy

I hope SmackDown gets:
Rey Mysterio
Christian
C.M. Punk
John Cena

I hope ECW gets:
The Brian Kendrick (Maybe he could get an ECW Title push)
Mickey James
Kofi Kingston (Same as TBK)

Let's hear some of you guys hopes/predictions.

I think the one thing that is basically a stone cold lock is CM Punk going to Smackdown. Although he held the title for a few months on Raw he got lost in the shuffle a bit and with the Hardy feud looking like it'll continue there's definitely the spot for a top face on Smackdown.

I would've thought Rey Mysterio and MVP would also be prime candidates to move but with both holding titles I don't know if they'll do that. But if you move both, then I think that would be a good move. I'd also like to see guys like Kendrick, Kingston and I'd even throw in R-Truth in that group as guys who have been lost in the shuffle on Smackdown and Raw and could do well on ECW.

I think Christian not being eliminated in that four-way number one contenders match last night is an indication that he's probably going to stay on ECW. If he really was being moved, that's an easy way to get him out of the ECW title picture.

This is my speculation since there rumors of RAW once again being the big winner since they want to put the big names on one show and have Smackdown and ECW being and minor league level.

Raw:
Edge- With Vickie now being the GM of Raw i'll be surprised be if he isn't moved
John Morrison- I don't know why but I see this happening.
MVP- I could see this happening and the US title goes to Raw
HHH- Steph is Working on Raw and they continue the Orton storyline

Smackdown:
Rey Mysterio- Samething as MVP but IC title is now Smackdowns title. Also he helps with the hispanic ratings
CM Punk- Mr. Money In the Bank Cashes in again and takes title from Cena at Backlash.
Christian- I hope they do this they guy is to talented to be on ECW

ECW:
Kofi- Is getting buried on Raw and I think ECW once again gets one pick.

Cena's not going anywhere. He'll be a staple on RAW for years to come.

It's common knowledge, they say it all the time on RAW, it's the Flagship show of WWE and longest running.

I read on ewrestlingnews.com that on his twitter page Joey Styles is saying that Raw will be getting about 12 wrestlers live on Monday. Obvisiouly it doesn't say who is going but that is what is being reported.

That has to be counting the supplemental draft as well, where you get a few small pieces later (not shown on tv) or that would be the BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER in awhile.

Raw will get stronger, Smackdown and ECW will get hosed.

Someone said that the WWE is going to put an emphasis on making ECW stronger (and possibly give it a name change), but you can't tell it from this.

I had miss read the report. There will be 12 picks in total on raw, not 12 going to raw.

here is the latest on the draft tomorrow night from Ryan Clark of Ewrestlingnews.com

Regarding plans for this week's annual WWE Draft, it is pretty much a given that the Raw roster will be beefed up come tomorrow night. The feeling is that the Raw roster is weak at the moment as a result of last year's draft when SmackDown was beefed up. Last year they made big moves pushing Triple H, Jeff Hardy and Jim Ross over to the brand to help strengthen the show with the move to MyNetworkTV. However, that move has proven to be somewhat unsuccessful with Smackdown ratings down significantly and MyNetworkTV making changes constantly.

What with the uncertainty of the future of MyNetworkTV, they're looking to bulk up Raw again. WWE officials had Raw touring with ECW due to the feeling the roster is much too slim on its own.

Company officials are also looking to give fresh new starts to a few wrestlers and many feel John Morrison and The Miz will be split up and moved into singles competition. The feeling is that Raw won't lose anyone of significance as Raw is being bulked back up to the "A show" — as its always been looked at.

Also, expect a few more releases once everyone has been sorted. Those taken in the Supplemental Draft should definitely be on the lookout as last year, three wrestlers were released before they even got to debut on their new brand (Chuck Palumbo, Big Daddy V and Trevor Murdoch), one still has yet to debut (DH Smith), and three more were pretty much a wash (Matt Striker as a wrestler, plus Deuce & Super Crazy).

Things are going to be interesting tomorrow night, I can't wait, oh how I hope Rey Mysterio and MVP are basically traded but I don't know if they are willing to take the IC belt off of RAW even though it has lost prestige!

Possible Spoilers for Draft:

Raw likely getting:
Matt Hardy
Maryse
Maria (possible suppelmental)
Mark Henry (possible suppelmental)
Tony Atlas (possible suppelmental)

Smackdown likely getting:
Jeff Hardy likely stays
Melina
Candice Michelle (possible suppelmental)

Nothing has rumored for ECW. Also rumors saying that Miz and Morrison is likely to be split. Im assuming Morisson goes to Raw I see him being a future main eventer if given the right oppertunity.

If that is all RAW gets I may quit watching.

Celtsfan1980 · Post #16 » by **Celtsfan1980** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 5:04 pm

Is Jim Ross going to be moved as well? If they're going to make it the a-show again, it'd make sense if Ross was the announcer again.

I've heard rumors that he is, it is a big ? mark what they are going to do with the announcers since Tazz and JBL left the company.

New Spoiler:
I also read today that Rey Mysterio and MVP are changing shows.

Jackson 5ive · Post #18 » by **Jackson 5ive** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 7:57 pm

I'm pretty much pleased with what RAW got:

MVP
Maryse
The Big Show
Matt Hardy- The Wrong Hardy
HHH- The least happy about this unless he loses the title soon.
The Miz- Though I was thinking RAW would get J-Mo.

The only real downers that I wanted but didn't receive were Jeff Hardy, Good ol' J.R., and John Morrison.

I'm thinking they will beef up ECW with some nice mid card level stars in the supplemental draft tomorrow.
