[Mr. Nerfect]

With the loss of Intercontinental Champion, Santino Marella, Jonathan Coachman finds it important to secure a secondary Champion for the RAW roster. He drafts Montel Vontavious Porter to the RAW roster, who will of course bring with him the WWE United States Championship. MVP comes out and he hates to be a nuisance, because he likes the Executive Assistant, he really does, but MVP's agent arranged this as part of his deal when he became the highest paid athlete in sports entertainment history. If in the event of a draft, MVP will not be compulsory assigned, but rather relegates to free agent status, and therefore gets to go to the brand of his choice. Coachman throws a hissy fit as he makes another confuddlement in the draft. MVP said that he could very well come over to RAW...if the money is right. Jonathan Coachman says that MVP could get paid even more than he's on now, but Coach wants to see him prove he's worth the money. Coachman asks MVP if he would be willing to compete on RAW tonight. MVP says of course he will compete for The Coach. The Executive Assistant says that is good, because now that he has his word, MVP will be defending the United States Championship tonight. RAW just wants the United States Championship, it doesn't matter who comes with it. MVP will be defending the United States Championship against an opponent of Jonathan Coachman's choosing later tonight.

Coach realises he still has a real pick to go, and he reasons that if he can't get one Champion, he will just as happily go for another. He decides to draft Johnny Nitro, who still has Melina attached to him as a manager, hence securing the WWE Women's Championship for RAW. Theodore Long makes his next pick, and snatches up the last eligible Champion of the draft, Chavo Guerrero, who is none too happy about being the last Champion assigned to a brand. Vickie apologies to Chavo, and tells him that she was trying to get him picked ever since #2 (to which Chavo isn't too happy about hearing, either, believing he should have been #1). Vickie offers to make it better by making a Champion and Champion vs. Champion and Champion match later on tonight: Bobby Lashley and Chavo Guerrero will team up to face the ECW team of Edge and Santino Marella. Bobby Lashley and Chavo Guerrero pick up the win in this match, when Matt Hardy gets involved and takes out Edge, which allows the ECW World Champion to pin the World Heavyweight Champion, placing emphasis on Theodore Long making the right choice in Bobby Lashley. Mick Foley makes his next pick, an ECW Original, and a man rumoured to not be returning. He's not sure of that rumour, but he wants to ensure he has this man on his roster just for merchandising and security reasons. His next pick is former ECW World Champion and WWE Champion, Rob Van Dam. This could turn out to be a dud pick if RVD chooses to not re-sign with the WWE, but I think it would be nice to include him now, rather than writing him off, as storyline-wise, he is still involved with the WWE.

Jonathan Coachman's next pick makes sure that RAW has one of the fastest rising giants in the business, and a man who has been nigh unstoppable recently. That man is "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry. He books Mark Henry vs. Chris Masters in a Masterlock Challenge for that evening, and he points out that only one man, that being Bobby Lashley, has ever broken The Masterlock without assistance. He intends for Mark Henry to be the second. Theodore Long's next pick chooses to follow Mick Foley's last move, and to assure SmackDown! keeps one of its top talents. Long drafts Chris Benoit to the SmackDown! roster. Mick Foley continues to draft ECW talent, as to not alienate fans of the current ECW product. He says that his mind is going a mile-a-minute, but he has decided to keep Elijah Burke on ECW, as he is a young man with a lot of upside. CM Punk seems a little disappointed that he was not chosen by Foley, and goes as far as to challenge Elijah Burke to a match on RAW, to prove to Foley that he made the wrong choice. Foley informs Punk that he fully intends for him to be on ECW, and he will trade even if someone else drafts him. Punk then asks Mick Foley "What if I don't want to come back?"

So with six picks apiece, we now have the following rosters confirmed:

RAW:
1. John Cena (WWE Champion)
2. Batista
3. Shawn Michaels
4. Deuce, Domino (WWE Tag Team Champions) and Cherry
5. Johnny Nitro and Melina (WWE Women's Champion)
6. Mark Henry

ECW:
1. Edge (World Heavyweight Champion)
2. Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy (ECW Tag Team Champions)
3. The Undertaker
4. Santino Marella (Intercontinental Champion)
5. Rob Van Dam
6. Elijah Burke

SmackDown!:
1. Bobby Lashley (Universal Champion)
2. Randy Orton
3. Triple H
4. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch (World Tag Team Champions)
5. Chavo Guerrero (Cruiserweight Champion)
6. Chris Benoit

The next draft pick for RAW sees Coachman threatened by his draftee into selecting him. As Coachman brags about Foley making the mistake of bringing attention to CM Punk, Kane's theme hits, and he comes out and grabs Coach by the throat, and demands to be brought back to RAW so he can get revenge on Mark Henry. Coachman agrees without too much hesistation. Kane laughs and walks off. Theodore Long's next pick is to snatch up CM Punk, which Foley regrets badly. He says it's OK, though, because he is going to take one of SmackDown!'s up-and-coming stars, and a man who surely wants a piece of Edge...Mr. Kennedy! Coach's next pick is an odd one, but he reasons that he needs to make sure RAW has contenders in its divisions. He chooses to retain former three-time Women's Champion, Mickie James. He even goes as far as to give Mickie a guaranteed title shot on RAW next week. With SmackDown! losing Mr. Kennedy, Theodore Long's next pick is akin to Chris Benoit's drafting, with the theology of keeping the SmackDown! talent on SmackDown!. Teddy announces that Finlay will remain on Friday Nights. The next draft pick for ECW is to keep Marcus Cor Von on ECW. Matt Striker is a little upset that he is the lowest on the New Breed scale, and he tells Foley that if he ends up on ECW, he wants a chance to prove himself.

Jonathan Coachman makes his second-to-last pick the Samoan Bulldozer, and the man who John Cena owes his second pinfall victory over The Great Khali to, Umaga. He also announces that Umaga will be the one who will try to win the United States Championship over to RAW. Vickie Guerrero makes the revelation that she will offer MVP even more money than he is on now to remain on SmackDown!. MVP agrees, and if he retains the United States Title against Umaga, the United States Title will remain on SmackDown!. That is what happens, as Bobby Lashley helps MVP retain the title, giving his brand another much needed boost. As for SmackDown!'s actually #9 pick, they choose to pick up a contender for the cruiserweight division. Their pick is controversial, but with three singles victories over the Cruiserweight Champion, they decide it is the right thing to do. SmackDown!'s #9 pick is to keep their resident redneck, Jimmy Wang Yang. Mick Foley's #9 is to take a cruiserweight of his own. He has proven to be quite the successful singles competition, and although he does not agree with his treatment of women, he decides that Carito is too big a name to be not end up on ECW.

We are on to the last picks, and Jonathan Coachman is a little upset that he missed out on Carlito, as he reveals he was his intended #10 pick. He decides that with his last pick, he will snatch up the 2006 King of the Ring, and a former six-time World Champion, King Booker. Along with him comes his wife Queen Sharmell. Theodore Long's final pick is to secure Rey Mysterio to the SmackDown! roster. Mick Foley says that he might not personally like this man, and he may be past his prime, but that he has not been drafted yet is disgusting. Foley closes out the draft by confirming Ric Flair for the ECW roster.

So we close the deliberate portion of the draft with the following base rosters:

RAW:
1. John Cena (WWE Champion)
2. Batista
3. Shawn Michaels
4. Deuce, Domino (WWE Tag Team Champions) and Cherry
5. Johnny Nitro and Melina (WWE Women's Champion)
