Tajiri for Charlie Haas probably won't happen. Haas has just married someone on SD!, if he's going over to RAW, she is going as well. Here are the drafts I can very easily see taking place:
-The Hurricane, Rosey & Stacy Keibler for Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro & Melina
-Tajiri for Mark Jindrak
-Jerry Lawler for Tazz (or Jim Ross for Michael Cole, but that is less likely)
-Candice Michelle for Miss Jackie (so you can now trade Haas)
-Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly for Simon Dean & Maven
-Sylvain Grenier & Tyson Tomko for Heidenreich
Tyson Tomko and Matt Morgan can team together as Captain Charisma's Problem Solvers. Heidenreich can team with Snitsky as a babyface, or feud with Carlito for the IC Title. Sylvain Grenier can join up with Rene Dupree, or try to make it on his own in the (what would be) dying US Division.
Charlie Haas can do something with Shelton, Hardcore Holly can team with Val Venis, or be fodder for the IC Division. Simon Dean & Maven can continue teaming on SD!, or go their seperate ways in the CW/US Divisons.
Candice Michelle does nothing, Miss Jackie does nothing, but has wrestling training, it makes sense to trade these two.
The first thing you hear when you tune into a wrestling show is the commentators talking. If you swap a major commentator, you will know immediately. Someone who hasn't watched RAW in ages will have their interest spiked if it is JR & Tazz at ringside, or Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler or even Michael Cole & Tazz on RAW and JR & Jerry Lawler on SD!.
Tajiri can team-up with Funaki and Akio to battle The Mexicools. Worse things have happened. Mark Jindrak can do something with Chris Masters (he might actually get over if he breaks The Masterlock, or teams with him) or become a lackey for Triple H, Kurt Angle or even Carlito.
The Tag Team Champion swap makes the most sense, as it allows The Hurricane to be closer to the CW Division, allows Rosey to be on a show with fewer big men, gets Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson together, and if Stacy ever decided to do Playboy, it would probably boost SD!'s ratings. Melina on the other hand can be closer to the Women's Division (I'm pretty sure she can wrestle) and get more attention as a lead Diva on RAW. If the WWE wants to bring up the past, they can have Eric Bischoff continue in his tweener role, by constantly punishing MNM for Nitro's past with Bischoff, Mercury's past with ECW and the fact they carry belts spawned on SD!.
