Over the past five years the WWE has held a Draft on Monday Night Raw. Superstars from Raw and Smackdown compete in a series of matches to determine which brand receives a Draft pick. It's a smart way to create matches and skits with WWE superstars that have rarely got the chance to work together. In my opinion whenever the Draft is held, the WWE universe becomes more interested in seeing new rivalries and alliances.
Another excellent start to another episode of Raw, the last several have been jammed full of excitement. No music, no firworks, just a 20-man battle royal consisting of 10 Raw superstars and 10 Smackdown superstars. The surviving WWE superstar earned a draft pick for his brand. The remaining three Smackdown superstars were Big Show, Kofi Kingston and Cody Rhodes, the remaining three Raw superstars were Mason Ryan, Evan Bourne, and Daniel Bryan. I was amazed by the display of competitive nature and athleticism between Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne. The two survivors were Smackdown superstars Kofi Kingston and Big Show. This gave Smackdown a draft pick, the WWE universe received an early night shocker when it was announced that 9 time WWE Champion John Cena has been drafted to Smackdown.
Cena has been signed to Monday Night Raw for 6 years, after he was drafted from Smackdown to Raw in the 2005 WWE Draft. This move immediately dropped the jaws of the WWE fans around the world. However, as Raw kept rolling... we later found out that Cena was drafted back to Raw after Smackdown lost the main event six-man tag team match. I think the WWE did this to get the world thinking what it would be like if Cena returned to where he started his WWE career. It certainly got the world talking. After seeing Rey Mysterio get drafted to Monday Night Raw I was anxious to see Sin Cara and Mysterio form a friendship or a rivalry, but later on Raw Sin Cara was drafted to Smackdown. It's going to be strange to see Randy Orton on a television program other than Raw, the viper has been drafted to Smackdown. The two best WWE superstars today are now on on different brands, John Cena and Randy Orton.

This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI agree that Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara coulda made a good story line for monday night Raw, I was kinda excited to see them fight, or maybe kick some ass together. And I must say I'm really gunna miss seeing Randy Orton on Monday Nights but this could be a turning point for his character.
I was disappointed to find out later on on Raw that Sin Cara had also been drafted, but from Raw to Smackdown. So that would decrease the chances of us seeing those two superstars in any kind of storyline, whether it was a rivalry or alliance. After the Draft I see more reason why fans want to tune in to Friday Night Smackdown. Smart by the WWE to send Randy Orton, Sin Cara, Sheamus, and Mark Henry to Smackdown. Keep watching both of WWE's weekly episonic shows because there is going to be some excitement as John Cena looks to hold on to the WWE Championship until WrestleMania 28. The WWE title is the only thing that can make the main event match John Cena vs The Rock even bigger. Things are about to get interesting.
