JASON POWELL'S WWE RAW HITLIST

Triple H to Smackdown: I love it. I'm just not sure it will last. This is the move that needs to happen to truly shake things up. Hunter has done everything there is to do on Raw and he needs a change of scenery as much as anyone.

Jeff needed a change of pace and I have high hopes for a feud between him and Edge. I'm also looking forward to watching him and MVP improve upon their recent unadvertised pay-per-view outing.

Rey Mysterio to Raw: I'm cool with this move. It gives Rey a change of scenery and some fresh opponents to work with. That's kind of the goal with most of these moves, of course. It's not the most exciting move, but I'm cool with it.

Mr. Kennedy to Smackdown: This was a pleasant surprise. Kennedy bombed on Raw. Granted, they had some big plans for him until he was suspended, but the Raw writers didn't do anything to advance his character. He's still nothing more than the guy who...
