Eventhough I didn't vote for them,I hope that Haas & Benjamin get to be on the same show.I missed the World's Greatest Tag Team.I always believed that they could become tag team champs again

Chris Benoit has jumped shows more than anyone.

First he was drafted to Smackdown in 2002, but then showed up on Raw and never wrestled on Smackdown. Then Benoit and Eddie Gurrerro both jump to Smackdown; Chris Benoit wins the Royal Rumble 2004 and jumps to Raw, and now he is back on Smackdown.

I am thinking that if Smackdown gets a top main eventer at the tapings tomorrow night, it must be Randy Orton. All of the other Raw main event superstars are heavily booked into the the Vengence PPV in a couple of weeks. Plus it really would not be fair to get a mid-carder due to the fact Smackdown has lost two of its top stars in John Cena and Kurt Angle, whom were much higher on the ladder than Chris Benoit.

Ultimately, Triple H will be drafted to Smackdown. I guess it will happen after Vengeance when he wins back the title.

Well, earlier tonight at the Smackdown tapings, it was none other than Randy Orton who showed up and announced himself that he is the #2 draft pick of Smackdown. The Undertaker also made his return, his first since Wrestlemania 21, Orton attacked Undertaker during his match with John Bradshaw Leyfield. This obviously sets up a Undertaker/Orton rematch at the Great American Bash which is the next Smackdown PPV which takes place in mid-July, and obviously it looks like the Undertaker will not be going back to Raw. There are also rumors that a house show card is floating around on the net that a Raw House Show features John Cena and Kurt Angle and the BIG SHOW, obviously if Raw receives the Big Show they would have enough main event talent and would not need anyone else.

I bet Eugene is Smackdown's pick next week, since Heidenrich has been rumored to team with Eugene, this would make sense seeing he has started a feud with Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury.

As far as the title situation goes, Theres 3 different ways they could go.

1. Batista gets drafted to Smackdown with the World title.

2. Triple H Wins the World title at Vengeance and gets drafted to Smackdown.

3. Jericho or Christian win the WWE Title at Vengeance and get drafted to Smackdown.

I highly doubt Triple H will go to Smackdown considering he told Kurt Angle that it was about time he got out of the minor league. Since Randy Orton made challenges to Undertaker and Batista in his promo on Raw about a month ago, makes me think Batista will go to Smackdown with the World title.

I wonder if Christian will get traded tomorrow night at the Smackdown tapings. There was a rumor floating around having Carlito get traded to Raw and hook up with Tyson Tomko in the bodyguard role. While Christian acquired the services of Matt Morgan. With Carlito's jump to Raw earlier tonight, we might see a Christian trade in the works.

Well, last night at the Smackdown tapings it was Muhammad Hassan and Diavari drafted to Smackdown in a package deal. I still think that the trades this week should not have taken place seeing that both Hassan and Carlito are still new to WWE considering they have not been on the main roster a full year yet. Hassan had been prominently featured on Raw since his debut in December 2004. He had feuded with a lot of the top stars on Raw including: Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Batista, John Cena, and Chris Jericho. Now Hassan will most likely compete for the U.S. title which will be only fitting considering how much he hates the U.S., while Diavari can add to the cruiserweight division.

But he's gonna go for the WWE Title.Now he's gonna say that he's undefeated on Smackdown! now that he was defeated on RAW last monday

Hassan seems more like a Raw guy, I am beginning to hate this draft. They totally picked the wrong two this week, so the final 4 selections will take place next week, but on the wwe website it says the trading deadline is Thursday June 30 2005, so I take it there may be some trades that take place. Last year Triple H got drafted to Smackdown and was traded back to Raw in exchange for Booker T. and both of the Dudley Boys, also Rico and Miss Jackie Gayda got traded to Smackdown in exchange for the A-Train and Chuck Palumbo to Raw, ironically Miss Jackie Gayda is the only talent left from that trade still in the WWE. All of these trades occured on WWE.com.

Chris Jericho will probably be drafted soon

Chris Jericho will probably be drafted soon

It depends on how far the WWE is planning on feuding Jericho with John Cena, also Cena still could be traded back to Smackdown and if Jericho gets drafted it could continue at the Great American Bash the next Smackdown PPV in July.

I believe that somewhere down the line,John Cena will face off against the winner of the Hell In A Cell match to make one title.Or if he's traded back to Smackdown!,the winner of the match next week

i think chris jericho and randy orton should go to smackdown. both have been on there for a while.

Miss Golden

I am thinking Batista is likely to go to Smackdown. Since it looks like his feud with Triple H is over, I think Smackdown awaits him. Right after Batista won the Royal Rumble in January, he teased going to Smackdown for a few weeks, it really stirred up a lot of unfinished storylines. Teddy Long even came to Raw to convince Batista to jump to Smackdown, but Batista ended up staying on Raw and starting his feud with Triple H. We all remember Batista destroying JBL's limo and attacking him at the Smackdown No Way Out PPV in February, obviously they have unfinished business. Plus he had a staredown with the Big Show at No Way Out, plus there have been rumors about a possible feud with the Undertaker, plus Muhammad Hassan will most likely want to avenge the beatdown he received from Batista a few weeks ago on Raw.

I agree. Batista has built in feuds on Smackdown with both JBL and Randy Orton. I do think that Eugene will end up on Smackdown as well. Maybe a trade.

I expect Christian or Chris Jericho will be one of the two Smackdown picks at the tapings after Raw tonight.

The Smackdown tapings are underway in California as of this post, and it is now confirmed that Christian has been drafted to Smackdown and will replace the Big Show in the 6-way match to crown a new champion.

Miss Golden

The Smackdown tapings have now concluded and the final pick for Smackdown is none other than Raw World Champion BATISTA. John Bradshaw Leyfield ended up winning the six-way match for the new Smackdown Champion. Then as the tapings concluded Teddy Long came out and announced that Smackdown did not need a champion and it was revealed Batista is the new pick. So now it looks as if the World Title will be on Smackdown, with the WWE title on Raw. Obviously a program for the Great American Bash is now ready with Batista and JBL.

This is good for Batista. He needed to get away from HHH shadows. He needed a fresh start.

Miss Golden
