Rumor Mill - Plans for WWE Draft

Going into the WWE Draft on April 13, the idea is that Raw and SmackDown will no longer be treated as separate brands, but equal. Last year they moved Triple H, Jeff Hardy and Jim Ross to SmackDown to strengthen the shows transition to MyNetworkTV. The move is seen as unsuccessful considering the drop in ratings. The plan now is to move the top talent to Raw for maximum exposure, and keep two-three stars on SmackDown to keep house show business strong.
