FFS, it's a soap opera. They can hype the "random" royal rumble, but not the draft?

In real life they would totally care. If you're on RAW do you really want to go to the show that the company sees as the "B" show?
If you are a guy on SD, do you want to rsik a top spot by going to RAW and have to deal with Hunter?
Its not that they shouldn't hype it, but its a difficult thing to hype.
The whole deal with teasing a Cena-Christian program is that it makes the draft look fake. We all know its a work, but it should be presented as totally random. When Christian and Cena end up on the same show (assuming that happens) it will emphasis that the whole thing is a work. I know it sounds dumb to complain about something looking like a work, but part of good wrestling is making things seem real.
Like I said, I think its fine to do with just Christian, but if they were to tip off more guys switching, it would seem too phony.
I do agree that they could do a little more in terms of quick vignettes where tag teams, and factions talk about the possibility of changing shows. But at the same time, there is only so much TV time, and when you have a PPV in 2 weeks, and a major tournament on the other shows, those things need to take up most of the TV time.
I also agree they should announce the date, which I expect to be done tonight actually.
