So Vince made a pretty big announcement on Raw tonight. Next Monday, all the Raw and Smackdown talent will be entered into a lottery and the rosters will be re-drafted.
The rosters are in desperate need of a shakeup, and completely overhauling both brands provides a whole bunch of opportunities for fresh storylines. Although it could kill other ones, what do you think the chances are that Jericho, Christian and Trish will all end up on one show, or HBK, HHH, and Benoit? (pretty good I guess, given how 'random' this lottery'll be)
I'm wondering what this'll do to the titleholders on both brands. Would titles be brought over or vacated if a wrestler with a belt switches shows?
This could be a big opportunity for guys like Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas to develop a little individuality and pursue singles careers. It could also just be a way for Vince to force feed us HHH on a Thursday night.... how refreshing.
