2011 WWE Draft

April 30th 2011 21:17
WWE Draft
The WWE Draft gets a bit more pointless each year. However, they use it again and again as a way to explain why they have to shift certain talent from one show to another. This year they needed to fill a hole on Smackdown that is being left by Edge having to retire. They know Alberto Del Rio cannot carry the show as champion. They also still feel that Christian cannot carry the show either though.


The first draft pick went to Smackdown and was John Cena, of course he would then be drafted back to the Raw roster at the end of Raw.

Here is the full list of 30 draft picks followed by my comments.

To Smackdown John Cena
To Raw Rey Mysterio
To Smackdown Randy Orton
To Smackdown Mark Henry
To Smackdown Sin Cara
To Raw The Big Show
To Raw Alberto Del Rio
To Raw John Cena
To Smackdown Daniel Bryan
To Raw Jack Swagger
To Smackdown The Great Khali
To Smackdown Jimmy Uso
To Raw Kelly Kelly
To Raw JTG
To Smackdown Alicia Fox
To Smackdown William Regal
To Smackdown Yoshi Tatsu
To Raw Drew McIntyre
To Smackdown Natalya
To Raw Curt Hawkins
To Raw Chris Masters
To Smackdown Jay Uso
To Raw Kofi Kingston
To Smackdown Ted DiBiase
To Smackdown Tyson Kidd
To Smackdown Tamina
To Raw Tyler Reks
To Smackdown Alex Riley
To Raw Beth Phoenix
To Smackdown Sheamus



As I said there is a hole to fill on Smackdown, Del Rio can't fill it, and they don't think Christian can (I do). Enter Randy Orton. I am pretty certain Christian will be winning the title at Extreme Rules and then lose it soon after to Orton. The thing is with Cena staying on Raw and being joined by Mysterio, and Big Show who exactly will be challenging Orton? The pool pretty includes Christian, and perhaps throw Kane and Sheamus back into the title hunt. The other option is to force The Undertaker to actually come back on a regular basis. Good luck with that though.

The biggest surprise was Rey Mysterio being moved off of Smackdown. Of course they moved Sin Cara TO Smackdown in an attempt to make him the new Mysterio.

Most of the rest of the moves were inconsequential. Many of them haven't been on TV for either of the main shows in some time. I mean, umm The Usos were on Raw and not Smackdown before the draft? Who knew? Alicia Fox is still a WWE Diva? Hmm.

All in all it was another waste of time that leads to all the Superstars wearing red and blue shirts for a couple weeks to make sure everyone knows which show they are on now. On the brightside the Orton-Punk feud, the Mysterio-Rhodes feud, and Alex Riley and The Miz are now forced to break up.
