Draft next week on RAW

[MrShawnMichaels]

Could just be a thank you gift? Not many people get the privilege of retiring with the title.

Edge has stayed loyal, given the WWE some of its best ever matches and been at the top of the roaster for quite a long time.

I doubt it. This is Vince.

What as in a return or a new signing?

What you heard about May mate? Raw was shonk last night. Some decent wrestling though, which is odd since they've now banned the term wrestling. Punk is by far the greatest asset they have in that company.

The R Truth turn was good and needed, but the mic work was awful from both.

Cena is clearly hated over here by anyone over the age of 5. The fact they didn't turn him at Mania still annoys me. The year long build to Rock/Cena was staring them in the face and they left it.

Sin Cara is impressive, not sure what they'll do with him like.

The draft should happen after the PPV though, strange they're doing it next week

Apparently the changes from the draft won't take place until after the PPV.

Could mean nothing but Cena is being advertised for Smackdown house shows after the drafts.

Rocky is on RAW after Extreme Rules isn't he? Probably why the draft is done before...

I wonder if Rock v Cena at WM will be for the title? That would be AWESOME

Sin Cara looked quality.

Why would Rocky celebrate his birthday on RAW if Cena has moved to Smackdown?

hmm interesting spoiler.

They still need to turn Cena at some point, there's money in it. They just need some new real stars, its a waning product

Full 2011 draft results
Drafted to Raw

* Alberto Del Rio
* Beth Phoenix
* Big Show
* Chris Masters
* Curt Hawkins
* Drew McIntyre
* Jack Swagger
* John Cena
* JTG
* Kelly Kelly
* Kofi Kingston
* Rey Mysterio
* Tyler Reks

Drafted to SmackDown

* Alex Riley
* Alicia Fox
* Daniel Bryan
* Jey Uso
* Jimmy Uso
* Mark Henry
* Natalya
* Randy Orton
* Ranjin Singh
* Sheamus
* Sin Cara
* Tamina
* Ted DiBiase
* The Great Khali
* Tyson Kidd
* Yoshi Tatsu
* William Regal

Seeing a few good moves there. Bryan, Regal, Sheamus to Smackdown all good. Bryan will thrive there and a feud with Regal would be top. Orton is the Edge replacement it seems. Sin Cara is there so they can edit him!

On Raw John Cena was drafted first to Smackdown then back to Raw. Why? Who cares. Del Rio will do well there.

Rumours flying that Punk won't sign a new contract and wants a break. If he goes it'll be a disaster. He's the best they have

[MrShawnMichaels]

The big name was The Rock. He's got his show next week.

Draft's nothing special. They all go on each other's show anyway. The Cena double switch made no sense in the grand scheme of things.

With regards to Punk, Mike Johnson from the Insider is pretty sound with this sort of info. However, a lot believe its a negotiation ploy to get more money and a bigger push.

Some fun:

lol @ Stone Cold

[johnly]

Austin is a legend. I saw him mention that on twitter, brilliant.

Hope Punk gets what he wants. There's nowhere else to go really. TNA is a mess, ROH will pay less, Japan could be good for him, but limited. He's the best heel they have and if they don't give him what he wants it'll be a big loss.
