Well, I'm not really sure the format this will follow, but I think the first pick for ECW should be Randy Orton. He's a big name, and this is for mid-carders, but Orton would at least give the appearances of a main eventer in ECW. Also, by the time he returns, ECW and RAW will have that probable talent exchange going, anyway. It will make it even more shocking when Orton hits an RKO out of nowhere on someone one Monday night.
ECW could really use one of the guys already drafted, too. I'm thinking Kane goes back, Umaga gets drafted to the other possible brand, or both. Umaga goes to SmackDown! was a sidestep, at best, and Kane goes to RAW seems done more for gasps than anything. Kane going back would be a "wow, that is an odd occurrence" moment, and set things right.
While it may be considered a mid-card move, Chavo Guerrero going to SmackDown! should happen. So that if Chavo wins the US Title, it will be back in the blue. If the idea is still to keep the belt on ECW, then do the move anyway, and make people expect the switch, only for Matt to retain. Chavo is better suited to SmackDown!, I think.
If Big Show or Mark Henry is going to win the ECW Title and go to ECW, just draft them there and get it out of the way. It may make it more of a foregone conclusion, but I'm sick of guys from SmackDown! winning the ECW Title, and then jumping.
