WWE Draft shakes things up…Again!!!
Last night was one of the better Raw’s in recent memory. Before I begin talking about who went where, I just want to say that there were some solid matches last night on Raw. You had Evan Bourne take on Rey Mysterio, CM Punk vs. Matt Hardy, Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz, Christian vs. Shelton Benjamen, and even Jack Swagger vs. John Cena was really decent. For once WWE made the ECW Title and it’s champion look somewhat credible for once. I thought the 3 on 2 handicap match was awesome. I loved how Shane, Triple and Batista weren’t getting along because they were all after the same thing. This 3 on 3 match reminds me a lot of a match back in 2000. It was the Rock/Kane/Undertaker vs. Triple H/Shane/Vince. It was for Triple H’s WWE Championship at King of the Ring. Whoever got the pin fall against HHH’s team would become champion. The Rock pinned Vince and became champion. It was an entertaining match, and I am sure this one at Backlash will be no different.
Now onto the WWE Draft. Here is went down last night
Drafted To Raw
U.S. Champion MVP
Big Show
Matt Hardy
WWE Champion Triple H
The Miz from ECW
Divas Champion Maryse
Drafted To Smackdown
WWE Women’s Champion Melina from Raw
CM Punk
Kane from Raw
Chris Jericho
Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio
Drafted To ECW on Sci-Fi
Vladamir Kozlov from Smackdown
Well obviously ECW got the shaft, Raw got an overhaul and Smackdown has a lot of great wrestlers on there now. I’ll be very curious to see who feuds with who. This definitely makes Backlash very interesting because only three matches have been announced and they have less then two weeks to build it up and put something together. The biggest question is, and I asked this last week. Where is Shawn Michaels? He has not been on TV in two weeks. I am really surprised they are not capitalizing on his performance at Wrestlemania. All I know is the landscape of WWE has changed and that 2009 looks pretty exciting. Stay tuned for more because the Supplemental Draft takes place Wednesday at 12pm. I will have more on that Wednesday afternoon.
