Somebody's Gotta Die

I believe the best possible solution for the company is to make an ECW brand, however that's very unlikely and the draft seems to be balancing everything out nicely...
On Velocity, we will see that WWE has begun catering to its cruiserweight division with appearances from Juventud Guerrera, Super Crazy, Psicosis, Akio, Billy Kidman and Akio...
With guys like Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero and Paul London as well, the SD! brand might start showcasing a WCW-style cruiserweight division with constant matches and exciting title changes...
Two guys on RAW that should be in the division include Tajiri and Hurricane... They can contribute a lot...
I propose Tajiri being the next guy sent to SmackDown! and a swap/trade/draft sending Hurricane/Rosey to SmackDown! and MNM to RAW... That would be most satisying...
I also propose sending either Batista or HHH (preferably HHH) to SD! after the outcome of the title match... HHH needs to switch shows badly at this point, in my opinion... If he comes to SD! and forms a heel "Corporation"-type stable with the likes of JBL, it might actually be different and less repetitive...
With Chris Benoit added to SmackDown!, this gives him a new chance to shine and possibly hold the title in the near future...
The next switch involved sending Randy Orton to SmackDown!... This instantly set up the Taker-Orton rematch and brought two main event superstars back into the scene after long breaks from the ring...
Rob Van Dam will be coming back to SmackDown!, if he isn't released, and I have a feeling he will be very over... If WWE uses the momentum this time, they can propel him to the stardom he has been lacking for a long time...
Carlito is developing into a pretty big hit on SmackDown! and it looks like he'll be getting involved in something with Booker T... It's new, at least... And I don't mind Sharmell around with Booker, but the type of thing that happened with the Angle story can't happen again... It's really bad booking...
Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero are continuing their excellent feud and I think it will culminate in a huge match of some kind... This has been one of the best, if not the best, feud all year... It's good that they are capatalizing on these guys and their momentum... Hopefully a title run for Eddie in the near future...
I predict Big Show will be drafted to RAW in a swap for Kane... It seems like a good way to do things because Big Show is really stale on the brand and desperately needs something new... Kane can work a program with the UnderTaker... Something like Kane/Taker-HHH/JBL can actually get over really well as a feud... That would be really good if they had something like that aside to a World title fued involving the likes of Benoit, RVD, Orton and Eddie... SmackDown! has been a pretty satisying show and I definitely intend to tape Velocity this saturday, although I'm convinced they gave these matches an average of 4-5 minutes... :-\ When will they learn that you can't showcase cruiserweights this way...
This leaves RAW with feuds involving Batista, Cena, Angle, Christian, Jericho and Benjamin (hell, even Edge is fine) and it will be an extremely refreshing change for the show now that the title picture will change from what it has been for the last few years:
HHH-Benoit
HHH-Batista
HHH-Orton
HHH-HBK
HHH-Benjamin (on RAW)
HHH-Goldberg
HHH-Nash :nono:
HHH-Steiner :nono:
There could actually be something new and refreshing to work with for both shows...
With the swaps of Cena and Angle for Benoit and Orton thus far, I like where this thing is heading... Especially now that Taker is back to TV... He's always over and he is still in pretty good ring condition... He shouldn't be a World champion, but he still adds a mainstream feel to the show...
People tuning into wrestling who haven't watched for years don't want to see Cena and JBL or HHH and Batista focused on too much...
Things are definitely picking up on SmackDown!, that's for sure...
