Jeff counters an Irish Whip into the Whisper in the Wind and manages to tag in Matt Hardy. Matt hits the clothesline/bulldog/elbow drop followed by the Side Effect. After Matt nails a leg drop, Morrison uses a distraction from Miz (plus some tights) to secure the draft pick for ECW. But I bet he wishes he didn't do that after finding out who ECW would be adding to their roster.

Fourth Pick: United States Champion Matt Hardy (SD!) drafted to ECW

Fifth Bout: Melina & Mickie (RAW) vs. Natalya & Victoria (SD!) (Announcers Draft Pick)

This bout was a special bout because it was about the ring announcers, the commentators, and the referees.

Natalya shows her strength against Melina to start the bout. As Victoria comes in, Melina fights back with a Lou Thesz Press. But the Black Widow sends Melina to the outside, and it looks as if the diva injured her ankle on the fall. As Mickie checks on her partner, the two girlfriends from SmackDown! try to attack. This leads to the referee calling a double DQ and awarding both brands a draft pick.

And the picks were extremely monumental!

Fifth Pick: Jim Ross (RAW) drafted to SmackDown!

Sixth Pick: Michael Cole (SmackDown!) drafted to RAW

Sixth Bout: John Cena (RAW) defeats Edge (SmackDown!) (Draft Pick)

As this epic bout begins, Edge lands a cheap shot to Cena and begins the assault on RAW's representative. Following a throwback, the two men engage in a slugfest until a double clothesline puts them on the mat. Cena regains control with the shoulder block, spin out bomb and 5-Knuckle Shuffle.

But Edge recovers and hits the Edgeucator until Cena counters into the STFU off of the Spear attempt. Edge grabs the ropes and slides out of the ring. As Edge walks up the ramp, Batista sprints down and pummels his opponent for Night of Champions. But thanks to Edge's cowardice, RAW gets the next pick in the draft...and it's a big one!

Seventh Pick: Batista (SmackDown!) drafted to RAW

Back on RAW, Edge and his fiancee are celebrating the departure of The Animal from the SmackDown! Kingdom. That is until Mr. McMahon pops in and reminds him that Batista will still face Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions. Vince goes on and makes an interesting ponder: What would happen if Edge was drafted to another show?

Seventh Bout: MVP (SD!) defeats Tommy Dreamer (ECW) (Draft Pick)

MVP grabs the early advantage and has it for the duration of the match. Tommy gains a brief advantage with a bulldog until MVP nails the 305 to secure the quick victory and next pick for SmackDown! And this pick adds to the shockers of the night. SmackDown!'s newest acquisition comes down and drops Dreamer and Colin Delaney.

Eighth Pick: Umaga (RAW) drafted to SmackDown!

Eighth Bout: JBL (RAW) defeats Kofi Kingston (ECW) (Draft Pick)
