The moves we do get will probably be designed to shock more than anything, but I do think we'll get about 15-20 supplementary draft moves (with the usual big five or six).
I definitely think it will be Orton. My guess is that Swagger cheats to retain the World Heavyweight Title at Extreme Rules...the next night he boasts about it during the draft episode. However, his celebration is cut short when it is revealed that Randy Orton has been drafted to SmackDown (I'm guessing they'll just operate with a set number of draft picks this year...no point in doing matches for picks when only two brands are involved). But Orton's been on Raw since 2006, so him moving will definitely seem like a refreshening to the rosters. Hopefully that's how it goes down...I'd rather not see Orton WIN the title and then switch, because it's happened several times already and I don't want Swagger's MITB title run to be over so quickly.

I agree with the notion of shock drafts moves, though. For that reason...I can see The Undertaker being drafted to Raw. He's been on SmackDown for nearly the entire duration of the brand split, and him moving can be seen as a huge pick despite the fact that he will take time off and probably appear once a month, if that. Still, Cena/Taker and HHH/Taker are two matches I can see in the cards for WM27 so having them all on the same show can help foreshadow that (and negate the need to completely ignore the split when WM time comes around).
