The former is the master of thugonomics, the latter is the rabid wolverine. And though their personas are different, they are binded by one thing: the WWE draft lottery.

I can't forget Vincent Kennedy McMahon talking to Captain Charisma Christian and his Problem Solver Tyson Tomko in a Smackdown! episode about this draft lottery. And after that announcement, the whole WWE was just up on its feet. Christian became vocal about transferring to RAW and Ray Mysterio has talked about the same thing as well.

But its not Christian or Mysterio that were first affected by the draft for the current WWE Champion and the former World Heavyweight Champion switch homes with Cena going to RAW and Benoit going to Smackdown!

It wasn't a surprise that RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff picked Cena from the Smackdown! roster. If I were in his shoes, I would pick no other than the best. On the other hand, I was expecting that Smackdown! General Manager Theodore Long will just cancel the pick of his counterpart and pick the World Heavyweight Champion Batista instead.

Maybe its Batista's upcoming Hell in a Cell match against Triple H in Vengeance was the reason why Long did not choose The Animal. This leaves Smackdown! without a champion. But I feel that one the Batista-HHH match is done, The Animal is on his way to Smackdown!

The draft should not be taken for granted for a lot of WWE Superstars have benefited from it. One would be Shelton Benjamin who from a Tag Team winner became the Intercontinental Champion and named as one of the most athletic wrestlers as of the moment. There is Rob Van Dam who also held the Intercontinental Champion. And also, the Dudley Boyz became more dominating once they have transferred from Raw to Smackdown! The list goes on but these are the most notable to mention.

Expect Cena to forge rivalries with Christian for, sad to say, Christian is immitating Cena's style by rapping poorly. You can also say that Triple H's eyes are set on Cena's spinning title belt but Mr. You Can't See Me will have a say on that. Or if possible, Batista and Cena will battle it out for a unification match but I guess Smackdown! will have to say something about that.

As for Benoit, it is possible that he might rekindle his ties with co-Radical Eddie Guerrero and their focus might be on Ray Mysterio or on the WWE Tag Team Championship currently held by MNM.

As for other predictions, I think RAW will get Carlito Carribean Cool and Smackdown! will draft Chris Jericho. If that happens, both Carlito's Cabana and Jericho's Highlight Reel will have to switch channels. I also feel that RAW will get the deadman, the Undertaker in exchange for Edge. I do believe that Christian's antics will not go empty-handed for its possible tor him to cross the bay.

Things are continually being shaken up but we know what all this is for: the improvement of the leader in sports entertainment. Imagine someone no. 1 improving. It makes you think whether it is wise to battle them. And in this note, McMahon and everyone in the WWE will have to deal with more money flowing through their bank accounts.
