Latest Draft News

WWE has everyone who was drafted up on their site. Here they are:

RAW

1. Evan Bourne
2. Jack Swagger
3. Mark Henry
4. Alicia Fox
5. Gail Kim

ECW

1. Shelton Benjamin
2. William Regal
3. Goldust
4. The Bellas

SmackDown

1. Matt Hardy
2. Finlay
3. Hart Dynasty: Tyson Kidd, DH Smith, Natalya

I feel the WWE did a good job for the most part here.

The Hart Dynasty needed a better place than ECW, and SmackDown is that place. They can be a tag team there, on top of being singles champions too. So I am glad they finally got off ECW.

Matt Hardy is going to SmackDown mainly because they need an extra heel there. Now that Edge and Jericho are in the tag team division, they will be out of singles wrestling for the most part.

Meaning they need someone to take over Edge's role in the heel spot for singles. Ziggler could take over Jericho's role to me, so it works to have Edge and Jericho on other shows such as RAW competing.

Sure, they will be on SmackDown too. But, because the tag titles are able to be defended on all shows, they will be on RAW a lot. Because of that, they won't wrestle on SmackDown every week, nor will they be in a lot of singles storylines.

Therefore, the SmackDown roster needs two main event heels; Hardy and Punk can be the singles heels they need. And when you throw Ziggler into the fold, you have a lot of possibilities storyline wise.

Regal and Goldust going to ECW works to me, they need to have vets there to help out the younger talent that is sure to come to ECW soon.

Shelton Benjamin is dying on SmackDown, the only way I see his career being saved is by going to ECW. They can have him and Christian rival each other, along with having him in the ECW Title hunt.

He did well on ECW before going to SmackDown a few years back. The only problem to me is that he is just plain boring, like the adults on the Charlie Brown shows.

The Bellas are not going to be in any women's title hunt. Therefore, having them take two roster spots up instead of having two women on the RAW show who can compete for the Diva's Title in Fox and Kim would be better.

I am not sold on Fox yet, as I really don't think she is that great. But Kim is very good, so having her on RAW is a great idea.

Bourne, Swagger, and Henry are good for RAW. Swagger is needed because of the lack of heels on show, also he is dying on ECW. How many times can you have him in matches with Christian and/or Dreamer?

He needs RAW as much as it needs him.

Bourne deserves to move to a place where he can win titles such as the US Title. He has done everything he can on ECW and he would be great for RAW. Imagine some of the matches he can have there.

Henry is a wildcard here. It looks as if he is turning face from what we saw on RAW last night. Will he? We will have to wait until next week to see. Obviously, if he faces a heel, then he is now a face. If he faces, well, a face, then he will still be heel.
