- Sources in WWE indicate that after ECW ends tonight, Christian will end up on SmackDown, William Regal & Ezekiel Jackson will go to RAW as will Zack Ryder & Rosa Mendez while the team of Caylen Croft & Trent Baretta will also end up on SmackDown. It's still anyone's guess what the future will hold for people like Shelton Benjamin, Goldust, Yoshi Tatsu, Vance Archer, Tiffany and Savananah, but they are all expected to stay on TV.

Christian on SD would be awesome. That actually the only one I fee really strongly about.

Yay, Christian on Smackdown! Please, please, book a Punk/Christian feud, hopefully for the World title, somewhere down the line. I'm hoping for the best for Zack Ryder on Raw, to me, he truly has potienal to be a big wrestler. I hope they don't have him change his tights, I actually think that's cool and a nice little selling point.

I'd love Christian to go to SD, as long as that is where Edge stays. I want E&C reunited!

Anyways, I'm sure everyone from ECW will have a place on one of the other shows, even if it's not for very long.

Hopefully Ryder does well. Love that bastard but I'm afraid on Raw he's going to be jobbed out pretty hard. It's a bummer too since I was looking forward to seeing him tour down here. Ezekiel should do fine on Raw but I think he'd be better off on Smackdown, would just stand out more there. Either way, good for a few of these guys to get their shots on the big stage.

Well, WWE has been pretty sporadic when it comes to who to push on Raw. They've done well with picking right guys to push like Miz but have also failed with many like Swagger and MVP. Sadly, more than less, they don't push they fail pushing the right guy. I personally feel Ryder will be pushed though.

I don't think Ezekiel will actually go to well on Raw. Most guys like Jackson (monsters) don't usually get pushed too well for long. At least recently. Khali, Umaga, and Kozlov are main examples, and well, the only ones I can think of it. Oh, and Henry.

Can hope Ryder will be pushed. Can never count it out, I mean, Sheamus is the WWE champion. Anything can happen. Do think Zack was doing great on ECW though, so fingers crossed that carries over to his Raw run. And yeah, I know what you mean about Jackson. But he's a big guy who can work, so I do think he'll get a shot eventually. Umaga is a good comparison, think Zeke could do well but will never really break that glass ceiling.

I think that Zack Ryder has more potential than Sheamus overall, as he's a better wrestler and was able to get over quite easily with the crowd with his "Model"-like gimmick. Sheamus' push is pretty much justified solely by his size and his obvious distinct look from the rest of the roster. I'm not betting that Ryder will someday be WWE champion, but I'm expecting down the line a lenghty run as United States Champion for Ryder.

For the rest, nothing bad to say about who's going where thus far. I think that the better workers like Shelton Benjamin and Yoshi Tatsu will end up on Smackdown while the "characters" and bigger workers wil end up on RAW. On that thesis, I'm expecting Vance Archer, Goldust and Vladimir Kozlov to end up on RAW
