It seems very likely that Batista will end up on SmackDown! with Orton now, but I think they should avoid that (if Batista has the World Heavyweight Championship anyway).
On RAW right now you have two World Championships, with three singles Championship (not including the Women's Championship). That needs to change. A lot of people are expecting Chris Jericho or Christian to win the WWE Championship and take it to SmackDown! or for Batista, Edge or Triple H to take the World Heavyweight Championship over to the "blue show".
Maybe the WWE should try something different, though? I'd personally like to see Hardcore Holly get drafted over to RAW (have him team with Val Venis in the World Tag Team Division), and have Shelton Benjamin go over to SmackDown!, taking the IC Title with him, thus screwing over Muhammad Hassan who doesn't end up getting his title shot.
Around this time have Benoit win the US Title, and have Benjamin and Benoit have a unification match at The Great American Bash. It's nothing too amazing, but Benoit and Benjamin could bust out a MOTY candidate even if both men had an off-night.
Have Shawn Michaels (apart from his feud with Kurt Angle, and perhaps a fun match with John Cena, there isn't much for HBK on RAW), Rob Conway, Tajiri & The Hurricane join SD! as well. That goes over the draft limit, but you can have Conway lose a "Loser Leaves Town Match" to Sylvain Grenier via countout to send him SD! way.
So when all is said and done you get Triple H, Kurt Angle, John Cena, Batista, Edge, Christian, Chris Jericho, Kane, Muhammad Hassan, Chris Masters (give him Sergeant Slaughter as a manager to make his character slightly more interesting), Sylvain Grenier, Rosey & Viscera as the singles guys on RAW (I don't think I missed anyone) and The Undertaker, JBL, Randy Orton, Chris Benoit, Shelton Benjamin, Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Booker T, The Big Show, Carlito, Matt Morgan, Orlando Jordan, Rene Dupree, Mark Jindrak & Charlie Haas as the singles guys on SD!.
Next year The Big Show, Rey Mysterio and Kane are three people who I think the WWE should really consider trading. They could do it this year, and it seems they are preparing to with The Big Show and Rey Mysterio potentially finishing their programs, and Kane getting the better end of a deal with Sylvain Grenier in a big way on RAW.
