WWE Draft Preview & Predictions

The annual WWE Draft is upon us once again. We are only hours removed from the Extreme Rules pay per view and tonight's Raw will be a special 3 hour show. I am assuming the Draft will be the same process as it has been for the past few years; a superstar from each show will compete and whomever the winner is, that brand gets a random pick from the roster. I don't particularly like this concept but without having a General Manager on Raw, there is no reason for a traditional type of draft.

Many superstars need to be moved due to lack of people to feud with and others need to be moved just to give their characters a fresh look. There is always one major problem with moving wrestlers from one show to another and that is the championships. I can't imagine them having the Intercontinental or United States championships on one brand so you must take that into consideration. This is the current roster and which categories I place the superstars:

Raw Roster
Main Event
Faces – John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H
Heels – Sheamus

Mid-Card
Faces - Evan Bourne, Christian, Kofi Kingston, MVP
Heels – Ted DiBiase, The Big Show, The Miz, Cody Rhodes
 
Low-Card
Faces – Primo Colon, Santino Marella, Mark Henry, Yoshi Tatsu
Heels – Carlito, Chavo Guerrero, Vladimir Kozlov, Chris Masters, William Regal, Zack Ryder

Diva's
Faces – Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, Melina, Eve Torres, Bella Twins
Heels – Rosa Mendes, Alicia Fox, Jillian Hall, Maryse

SmackDown Roster
Main Event
Faces – Edge, The Undertaker
Heels – Batista, Chris Jericho, Jack Swagger
 
Mid-Card
Faces – John Morrison, Rey Mysterio, R-Truth, JTG, Kane, Matt Hardy, Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith
Heels – Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, Luke Gallows, Shad Gaspard, Ezekiel Jackson, Dolph Ziggler 

Low-Card
Faces– Finlay, Goldust, 
Heels – Trent Baretta, Caylen Croft

Diva's
Faces – Natalya, Beth Phoenix, Tiffany
Heels – Layla El, Michelle McCool, Serena

I'm going with each brand getting six picks on the Monday night Raw show.

Raw to SmackDown
Randy Orton
Kofi Kingston
Big Show
Ted DiBiase
Christian
Gail Kim


SmackDown to Raw
Batista
Edge
Drew McIntyre
John Morrison
Shad
Michelle McCool

Now the supplemental draft will take place on Wednesday and I think the superstars should be moved as follows:

Raw to SmackDown
William Regal
Carlito
Zack Ryder
Rosa Mendes


SmackDown to Raw
Goldust
R-Truth
Layla El
Tiffany

This is a total of 10 superstars/divas moved from each show to the other. Without having ECW anymore, I think this is the maximum number of moves the company will make to shake things up a little bit. My biggest concern here is the rumors of Batista leaving the company shortly. In this case, they need another top heel on Raw which could be perfect for the Miz, Drew McIntyre or even Edge to return to his natural roots.

Until Next Time... I'm Just Sayin!
