Chris Jericho drafted to RAW

Kelly Kelly to SD, whatever. Big Show, whatever. I am happy that Edge is now on Raw, but I really wanted Orton to go to SD. The best pick for SD is Christian by far. Now that he is on SD, I expect him to get the push he has earned. I also expect to see some of the other young guys on SD like Ziggler to get a bigger push as well.

I think this was a little one sided... actually, a lot one sided. SD barely got anyone, yet Raw came out with all the huge stars. I hope what you said is right, and this means some of the younger guys are gonna get a good push now.

It was one sided, but there were only 2 big stars moving anyway. I am fine with Morrison and Truth moving to Raw, they are not a huge loss. This now sets up Christian to be the face of SD.

It's now crystal clear that Christian is becoming the top face on Smackdown (besides The Undertaker of course but since he's on a part-time schedule...) and I couldn't be happier about it.

In hindsight, when you look at these results before the Supplemental Draft, you tend to believe that RAW once again robbed Smackdown of its best talents but that's because both Edge and Chris Jericho moved to RAW, when we were expecting only one of them to be drafted. But with the Supplemental Draft, it sorts of balances itself.

RAW Main Event picture:

Triple H
Randy Orton
John Cena
Edge
Chris Jericho
(could add Sheamus and John Morrison as Upper Midcarder getting the rub once in a while)

Smackdown Main Event picture

The Undertaker
CM Punk
Rey Mysterio
Jack Swagger
Big Show
Christian

(could add Kofi Kingston and MVP getting the rub, once in a while)

So, because of the "experience factor" so-to-speak, RAW seems to have an overwhelming advantage but I think it evens itself out with Big Show and Christian going over to Smackdown.

The fact that Christian & Edge are not on the same brand sucks ass. Apart from that I am fine with the draft
