This is the first time I've ever stayed up to watch the Draft. I'm scared for Cody. Raw could completely halt his momentum. One of either Randy or Cena will go to Raw; logically it'd be Orton, but they mght choose Cena to shake things up. Beth will be the Diva pick tonight. And I hope JoMo and Melina get 'punished' by going to Smackers, although if that *does* happen I doubt Melina's move will be featured on Raw. 2009 seems like a lifetime ago.  |

I gave up on RAW after WM but I’ll stay up to watch this one. I love the draft…as pointless as it really is. Next week should be good also with Rock’s hometown “Birthday party.”
I think Orton to SD and Del Rio to RAW will be the two big ones tonight.
I bet there's a Diva Battle Royal™ for a draft pick. I wouldn't be surprised if Kong Kharma debuts tonight.

If Eve doesn't get drafted to Smackdown, they could do a complete 180 and trade Brie to Smackdown with the title, causing a rift between the Bella twins. Not likely that they'd break up the Bellas, but it's possible I guess. There isn't much competition on Raw for the title; I just hope they don't pursue that boring feud between Brie and Eve.
In the event that the title doesn't change brands though, I think there's a possibility that Kelly might be drafted back to Raw. She needs to be in the running for the title again. Also, there's a great chance that Maryse might go back to Smackdown. She's no longer tied to Ted, has no obligations on Raw, hosts NXT, etc.
If Kong is coming to Raw, then I hope Beth stays on Smackdown. Having two "monster" Divas on one brand makes the rosters seem kind of lopsided. Also, Kong's push could make Beth look weak in comparison.
Whatever happens, I suspect Laycool will play a part. I want Michelle to be drafted to Raw, but I suppose that depends on whether or not the Undertaker gets drafted.

The best Drafts were the first one and the 2005 one. The first 'cause it was so official and meaningful and new, and the 2005 one because they made it drag out and the roster split actually mattered back then.
Lol, remember the 2004 one? I got so pumped up for it, thinking it'd be a repeat of 2002, and yet people like Mark Jindrak and Spike Dudley ended up getting chosen and they tried to make them sound like big deals. And then when they did draft someone big (Triple H), they ended up trading him back to Raw a few weeks later. :S

Maryse is a cert, I think. She's the most likely of the three Raw heels (Melina, Maryse, Alicia). I don't think it'll happen tonight though, because they usually only have one female pick on the show itself, and I suspect it'll be Beth or Kelly.

If Maryse does go to SD then I hope Michelle moves to RAW. I don't think they can co-exist as heels on the same show. Michelle will always get the title feuds/PPV spots.
It was probably just a completely random decision but I'm holding out hope that her win over Natalya last week was them starting to build her back up for a post draft push since she's pretty much been a jobber for the past year.

– Melina stated today on her Twitter account that she’s worried about tonight’s WWE Draft on Monday Night Raw. She recalled past years of being torn away from people she’s close to due to the annual affair.
“Tonight is Raw. Very nerve racking,” she wrote. “Thinking of Drafts in the past & I always hated getting torn away from John & Jillian. I miss my Jillo!” Sorry, Tiarnan, but this sounds about right. One of them is going to SmackDown. That is totally how WWE would punish them, by splitting them up. |

No offence, but if I was Melina right now I'd probably be worried about being drafted to the unemployment line more than anything else.

She'll become TNA Knockouts Champion by August. (Especially with Mick Foley in TNA(Is he still there?)) Then Morrison will pull a Matt Hardy and get himself fired and end up in TNA before the end of the year.

... I miss Jillian. So gutted that she didn't get a proper title reign.

They could have done so much more with poor Jillian. The crowd was solidly behind her back when she turned face and feuded with Melina for a little bit, and if I remember correctly she was actually the second WWE woman after Trish to beat Melina in a singles match. Then there was Jillina, which had all the potential in the world. And even with the singing gimmick they could've done an awesome little mini-feud with Lilian Garcia, rather than a random segment every five months or so. I loved her, lol.

They're cute, but Jillina went through it all together. From MNM to makeup brawls to their reunion to the night when Jillian said Melina couldn't beat Beth to random matches to Twitter buddies.
We've talked about this before, I'm sure, but I remember when Melina and Beth were feuding and Melina would be wrestling Jillian of all people and Michael Cole would be like, "Hey King, Melina and Beth actually used to be the closest of friends!" and it was like, "Um, Cole, you idiot, look at who she's facing right now! Beth was the third wheel, idiot."
My second favourite Diva ship is Melina and Mickie of course. I loved how they went from being mortal enemies to staring lustfully at one another and patting each other on the butt playfully during their matches.
