    Then you unify them, have an undisputed champion and voila! ;)

    It happened one other time, but it was real briefly (a couple of weeks).

    I seem to recall Batista being one of the champions, although I could be wrong.

    Maybe there was something personal behind his weight loss, like (just speculating here) maybe a friend or relative was overweight and had health issues, or something like that? Who knows?

    Batista's MMA deal has fallen through. Does he come back, and as a face or a heel?

    Jericho's likely back on Raw instead of SD to cash in on his DWTS push, right?

    Not sure if Batista will come back to wrestling, though if he's smart, he'd do so while his name still means something. He's 42 and his days as a credible performer, be it wrestling or MMA, are limited.

    If Jericho returns as a face, Raw would be the logical place for him since the gap between No. 1 face (Cena) and No. 2 face (Morrison? Mysterio? Big Show?) is pretty wide. If he's back as a heel, Smackdown needs helps on that side (is Cody Rhodes their top heel now?)
     
  6. I thought Batista left as a really good and somewhat believable heel performer (I was actually suprised because I never really thought of him as doing anything well), so I think it's possible for him to return and rely on somethign other than his in-ring capabilities.

    The 'draft' continues:

    Swagger to Raw, so this awful Michael Cole/Lawler storyline continues.
    Daniel Bryan to SD. Hope he gets a better push there.

    Glad to see Bryan get a chance. Maybe he can become the No. 3 babyface behind Orton and Christian, or maybe a top heel

    Swagger to Raw? Whoop de damn do. Didn't he get drafted to Raw, like, last year, or something?

    What's funny is that a lot of the names moving in the supplimental draft didn't really have much of a connection to the other brand anyway. JTG to Raw? Yoshi Tatsu to Smackdown? When was the last time either was on that show? They'll still be relegated to Superstars (assuming the Sword of Future Endeavors doesn't drop on them), except they'll be taping matches on Monday instead of Tuesday, or vice versa.

    Damn, the only reason I watched Raw was to catch a glimpse of Yoshi Tatsu. My Monday nights just opened up.

    Kofi, McIntyre and Kelly Kelly also to Raw. Mmmm...Kelly Kelly.

    Also, DiBiase and Regal to SD. Anyone else hope this actually results in either of them getting decent work?
