RAW

Elijah Burke
He really seems to fit RAW, in my opinion. He'd also be someone drafted with the purpose of going after the Intercontinental Title. This would be a good move for RAW, as they need mid-carders.

Deuce
He may or may not join the second generation stable, but I just can't see him doing anything more with Domino, and RAW needs mid-carders.

Chuck Palumbo
I don't know, he doesn't seem to fit SmackDown! anymore. His stuff with Jamie Noble was cool, and his mini-feud with Finlay wasn't half-bad, but I just don't think there are plans to use him effectively.

Tazz
Michael Cole and Tazz would work better together than Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.

Kelly Kelly
Now that Torrie Wilson is gone, Kelly Kelly is the untalented blonde bimbo of the WWE. I'm sure she'll get her stint on RAW eventually. Why not now, and have the other talentless whores move to ECW to balance things out?

SmackDown!

Chavo Guerrero
This move should happen to make the United States Title appear like it has a chance of going back to SmackDown!. I don't think the plan is to have Chavo float over to RAW/ECW, so why keep him around there? To be honest, though, Chavo would make a pretty neat mid-carder on RAW. But nah, keep him in the blue.

Melina
I thought this was going to happen before her ankle injury, but now I am sure. What is left for Melina working on RAW? Being second-fiddle face to Mickie James? Melina is still probably more talented than Michelle McCool, so moving to SmackDown! could allow her a nice face run with the Divas Championship. Plus, a feud with Victoria and Natalya as a result of her injury could be great fun.

Stevie Richards
He hasn't been used for a while, has he? Richards is a solid wrestler, and he recently got some very nice pushes. It'd be great to see him make a run for the mid-card on SmackDown!. He's an ECW Original, but he's one of those guys that doesn't seem as called to the brand as others. Maybe it's because he's had so many gimmicks and character changes outside of it?

Val Venis
I think he will be moving because his worth as a mid-carder has been watered down on RAW. I don't think he will amount to anything really special, but I think a mere change of scenery could make people take him at face value again.

Matt Striker
I don't think the WWE will keep him as Big Daddy V's manager. They don't really have a memory for that sort of thing. Moving him to SmackDown! gives them mid-carders, which they do need, and someone to take as many Pedigrees as Triple H feels inclined to give out.

The Highlanders
Big Vito 22 inspired me with this. I considered the possibility of Rory and Robbie McAllister/McCallister moving, but I decided it would be too meaningless. There is stuff happening in the RAW tag team scene, though, and nothing happening on SmackDown!'s. This move would remind people that these guys exist, and the WWE were trying them out on different brands before.

ECW

Kane
It was fun while it lasted, but the joke is now over. You've got a RAW guy with the ECW Title, lined up to defend it against SmackDown! wrestlers. Moving Kane back would be a "whoa, anything can happen moment," and make it more crucial for either John Cena or Batista to win their match at Night of Champions. It also sort of unscrews ECW a little bit.

Randy Orton
By the time Orton is ready to return, RAW and ECW would have some kind of talent exchange, anyway (another reason Kane can go back to ECW, and still end up working on RAW). This would actually be a great move for ECW, by giving them a guy who has held a "real" World Championship.

Mark Henry
Yeah, I think he will go. SmackDown! doesn't need him, and to be honest, I don't think they really want him. On ECW, he at least wouldn't be too offensive, jobbing to Kane.

Paul London
To be honest, I wasn't sure whether or not to do this, but I think it's worth a shot. The WWE has thought about splitting up London & Kendrick before, but got cold feet. They might as well pull the trigger. Brian Kendrick can help Shawn Michaels against Chris Jericho and Lance Cade, and they can try and push him as something of a serious little man worker with heart, and London can go to ECW, do the London Calling, and develop some high-flying rivalries with Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne. If that doesn't work, well when RAW and ECW get that talent exchange, you have London & Kendrick again.

Jerry Lawler
He wouldn't like this, but screw him. There's comedy in him being demoted to try and destroy Mike Adamle some more. Eventually he'd have the same RAW schedule anyway.

Super Crazy
He's an ECW Original, and he fits in with what they've got going with Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston. There may have been plans to use him on RAW once upon a time, but I think those plans have long been scrapped.

Jamie Noble
A lot of people seem to think this is coming, and I can very easily see it. A move for Jamie Noble would give him something to do, as he's been free for a while. Since that awesome program with Chuck Palumbo, really. On ECW, he'd have lots of smaller guys to work with, and he was actually promoted to a producer role to work with smaller guys. Although I'd love to see him going after the IC Title on RAW, he could very easily do that when the RAW/ECW talent exchange thing happens.

Ashley
She's over with the fans, but she's not crucial to either of the two-hour brands. There is no harm in moving her, and she might make a few heads turn with the move. Attach her to someone like Evan Bourne, or something.

Maria
I originally saw her going to SmackDown!, but I think they are shaken up enough after the draft. They don't really need much more going on their way. ECW could use the slight publicity she'd bring hanging over from her Playboy deal.
