Spleens take on the lottery -
1) Its going to be fixed. I mean seriously, there is no way that VinnieMac is going to risk his product by having a purely random lottery to decide where each wrestler goes. The rosters are probably already finalized, and they are just using the lottery as a way to make it look interesting, while at the same time giving an answer as to why each wrestler was placed on which show.
2) Be only concerned with the major players (big shmo included), and about half of the mid-card talent. For the most part, people don't care what show Spike Dudley, or Test will be on. They just don't matter. They will both probably remain on RAW, because the writers don't have anything to do with them on either show.
The main-eventers will be split up, and regrouped, to even out the 'star' power on the brands. Mid-carders will be brought up, to fill in the holes.
3) I expect the major stables/storylines to remain TOGETHER, although they might end up on different shows. Evolution won't be split up, because VinnieMac and HHH has too much riding on its success. However, due to recent news (Flair major injury, HHH off to do some more movie work, leaving only Batista and Orton), there is a good chance that the Evolution tag will be reformed. Bring some new people in and make a new story.
Say good bye to the FBI.
Trish/Y2J/Christian, is arguably, the most entertaining storyline in the WWE at the moment. The company brass most likely realize this, and will not split up the three.
4) Don't expect to many changes in the womans division, and the cruiserweight division. There isn't enought to spread around.
5) I feel the biggest changes will occur in the Tag division. All the teams have feuded with their respective brands rivals, and are in dire need of new competition. I want to see The Worlds Greatest Tag Team take on some new teams, like Rene Dupree vs Shelton Benjamin (with Charlie Haas and Rob Conway/Sylvan Grenier doing whatever they do)
Thats about it... pretty much all I can think of for now. I kind of wish that the Womans division would be switched to Smackdown and the Cruiserweights to go onto RAW. SD! editing would make the womans matches more entertaining by removing some of the boring spots (although it would also edit out any chances of me seeing a Victoria boob slip). I'm sure by now the Cruiserweights can hold their own in a Live taping. Besides... if the women get switched to SD, then V1 Hardy will go there as well (Lita) and he'll have some more airtime and a storyline. Something he's been missing ever since he got put on RAW.
