AFTERMATH OF THE DRAFT

• 
  Coming into last night's RAW, I really wasn't looking forward to the draft. I think the draft has lost it's impact through the years. (I have a solution to this. Which I will hit later in the article.) I figured no big names will be moving this year. Most of the names are already on RAW and there is no point moving a big star on a big show to a smaller show.
  
  
• Boy was I wrong. Starting with the first pick, John Cena moved from RAW to SMACKDOWN. Cena the biggest superstar in the company on the move. What a surprise. But think about should any of us have been surprised. I am sure we all have seen the ending of RAW or have read about what happened. If you haven't Cena got drafted back to RAW. We should have known that something was going to happen. It just isn't a smart business move to move your biggest star from the biggest show.
  
  
• Probably the biggest surprise that happened last night was that Randy Orton got drafted and stayed on Smackdown. I think something backstage is going on with Randy Orton and the creative team. Ever since losing the title his career has been going down hill. He has one of the best feuds going on with CM Punk and at Wrestlemania they cut his match short and now he is moving to a smaller show.
  
  
• Other superstars to change shows were: Rey Mysterio, the Big Show, Alberto Del Rio, Mark Henry, Sin Cara, Daniel Bryan, Ted Dibiase, Drew Mcintyre, Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger. For a full list go to wwe.com.
  
  
• The interesting thing about all the moves to me is Alberto Del Rio going to RAW. To me this means that Christian will win the ladder match at extreme rules. For two reasons. One he deserves to be champion and two in the other title match all three superstars are on RAW so each show has to have a title. I think that Del Rio will lose that match and go on to start a feud with John Cena. It is something new. We have seen pretty much everything we are going to see out of Cena and Miz. Give them each a new person to work with.
  
  
• I see Cena winning the title in the cage match and Miz going on to feud with John Morrison. Miz will blame Morrison for costing him the title and the feud will just carry on from there. While some of the other names, I don't see them competing for any titles right now, it gives them a fresh start on a new show.
  


• In my opinion nobody needed a switch more than Dibiase and Mcintyre. These two were champions at one point and now have trouble getting tv time. Hopefully the switch will help.
  
  
• Now to my solution to get the draft more meaningful. It's quite simple. The WWE has to go back to when SMACKDOWN and RAW were there own separate shows and had their own separate pay per views. That was when SMACKDOWN was at its best. They developed the wrestlers into superstars. SMACKDOWN was were Cena and Edge got their first taste of stardom. Go back to that system and have the two shows meet at the big pay per views. They can meet at Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Bragging Rights.
  
  
• In the end I like the draft it shakes things up and only time will tell how the wrestlers who got drafted will do in their new roles and on their new show.
