Kane defeats Brian Kendrick in a squash that leads to Raw Drafting The Big Show. 0-2 Raw Roster, I've seen my share of Big Show matches I don't need a helping on a weekly basis.
Natalya/Michelle McCool/Maryse defeat Melina/Mickie James/Kelly Kelly. Resulting in Women's Champ Melina going to Smackdown. Now Smackdown has both Women titles. Yay.
John Cena defeated Jack Swagger. Better than I expected aside from a scary botched DDT by Swagger. this resulted in 2 draft picks coming to Raw. Matt Hardy and HHH. Well it was just a matter of time don't you think? Now Raw has Both World Titles.
Great Khali defeats Santino Murella in a squash leading to Smackdown drafting CM Punk. FUCK! What the fuck is this shit? Ok the MITB Winner now is on a brand with no World Title. I know he can challenge for any one of the 3 World titles but it would make sense storyline wise to have some sort of tease as to which title he's going to go for. I guess they want to do the whole shock factor of Cashing it in like they did last year and like when Edge did at the Elimination Chamber a couple years back. Still a huge disappointment.
Kofi Kingston defeats The Miz via DQ. Raw Drafts The Miz! This random draft is seemingly not so random. So much for the dirt sheet as Miz hits Morrison with lights out (kneelift neckbreaker)
Edge wins the 15 man battle royal and Smackdown gets Kane, positive, and in the worst move of the night they also get Chris Jericho. Worthless.
Christian Defeats Shelton Benjamin and ECW finally gets a draft pick, Vladamir Kozlov. Well I guess creative didn't have anything left for him on any other brand after the impressive unbeaten streak was put to an end by Michaels and Taker just before mania. So I see him going to ECW and becoming World Champ sometime in the next year.
Matt Hardy defeats CM Punk by DQ after Jeff interferes. Leading to Raw Getting the Divas Champion Maryse. So they swap women's championships probably because Gail Kim, the most overrated women's wrestler of all time, didn't think the diva's championship was worth a dime. In my opinion, Gail Kim is one of the worst female wrestlers of all time. I'd rather watch a Bull Nakano match.
Chris Jericho defeats Tommy Dreamer (holy shit he's still employed?) leading to Smackdown drafting Rey Mysterio. Not Bad if they are trying to push the IC Title to a new level by making it the Premiere title on Smackdown but I see something going down either during the supplemental draft on Wednesday, or more likely Cena dropping the title to Edge at Backlash.
So let's review and Grade each Brand:
Raw Draft Picks
MVP, Big Show, Matt Hardy,Triple H, The Miz, Maryse
Grade- C
Hardy, HHH, and Miz are all + but MVP, Show, and Maryse are - as well as Raw losing Rey, Punk, and Jericho
Smackdown Draft PicksMelina, CM Punk, Kane, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio.
Grade- B-
While Smackdown currently has no World Title, they did pick up the IC Title and Women's Championship which has more prestige that the joke that is the Divas Title. Punk, Jericho, and Mysterio are nice pickups (Jericho/Punk matches are usually solid) and Rey never really found his calling on Raw he was stuck in the horrible feud with Kane. Rey was always a bigger star on Smackdown anyways. Smackdown is only effected by the loss of HHH and Matt Hardy.
ECW Draft Picks
Vladamir Kozlov
Grade- F
One pick? Seriously? I'm guessing they get a bunch more on Wednesday but ECW got shafted tonight. What are we getting to look forward to on Tuesday nights, that is if you even get the Sci-Fi network. Kozlov vs. Mark Henry? I'll pass.
Spot of the night was Benjamin taking the best Unprettier I have ever seen.
