James Caldwell of the Pro Wrestling Torch has reported that WWE wrestlers Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes and Kofi Kingston were involved in shooting a commercial for Smackdown's move to Syfy in the fall.  This suggests that in tonight's WWE Draft Rhodes and Kingston will be moved to Smackdown and given renewed singles pushes, while Mysterio and Swagger will stay where they are and remain highly featured on the brand.  However, nothing is guaranteed until Raw tonight, as WWE has a track record of chopping and changing who does and doesn't get drafted up to and including the day of the show, even after they have taped such commercials.

On a side note, Dave Meltzer has reported that tonight's Raw won't be Batista's last show as he's going to stay a few more weeks so they can properly blow off his character and his feud with John Cena.
