Smackdown also has Hogan (still good for a cheap pop) and the Rock (on the show until he starts filming again).
However, they have a strong lack of heavyweight heels. Angle, Lesnar, Bautista, D'Von, Chuck, and Billy. That is the entire non-cruiser heel roster, which will probably mean a bit more emphasis on the cruiserweight roster.
I think Kane will stay on RAW long enough to help Taker fight The Brotherhood fo Evil Canadians. Hopefully, after that they defend the belts on both brands with the premise being that 'Taker will do whatever he damn well wants to, Bisch and Steph be damned.
I wish the Hardcore Title would just go away. It may be salvagable if they drop the 24/7 rule, but I doubt it.
I'm guessing some of the upper midcarders will come Smackdown's way. Maybe RVD, Benoit, Booker to name a few.
I don't think Smackdown is lacking in top heels...the whole WWE is! Now that Taker is a 'tweener leaning toward face, and Triple H is still lingering (he may yet reunite with Shawn as a fan favorite), we're left with Angle and Jericho as the top heels. Only Jericho is especially heelish these days...Angle just seems too nice sometimes (like needing to cool down and kindly explaining that he was talking to his brother).
WyldeWolf1 The Man of 1,007 holds, making him 3 holds better than Chris Jericho!
Considering Raw just picked up 4 top-notch heels(plus Triple Aids still may turn), I'd have to say that Benoit and Guerrero just moved way down the totem pole. Plus, they don't like the Bisch.
Raw stole the tag champs, so Smackdown will most likely get the IC champ(along with his pal Eddie)in return.
Also, look for Kane to jump. They finally separated Edge and Christian(should have been done draft night), so hopefully they will separate the other fake brothers.
Smackdown needs heels badly now(especially since Angle looks to be turning face), so I could see Orton or Cena turning heel.

It's not real. Bischoff is not really in charge.

Last time I checked Test, christian and Storm were not top notch heels but average midcarders.
Jericho is indeed a top notch heel, and Raw can use some of those, as they only have Benoit and Eddie.
HHH is a heel too but seems to be involved with this guy HBK guy and their whole storyline could be considered seperate from the other feuds..I mean, I dont see HHH going for a match with Book to tempt HBK to face him..
WyldeWolfe, imo Kurt isnt being face-ish but he was talking to Steph..yes the Steph he loved and cared about.. In fact, I expected him to say something like I would never turn my back on you Steph but heh...we cannot expect that sort of continuity just yet
Anyways, The SD fate is pretty good. They still have some great performers left and who knows what will happen in the upcoming weeks. I dont need to see ppl switch every show but a well placed transfer can do magic. Also..so what if it becomes the cruiser weight show. If instead of a 5-6 minute match i get 3 5-6 minute cruiser matches I will be delighted.

Maybe it's me, but that cage match, while very good, seemed a little out of the blue. Was that really a blow-off match? I suppose that Edge got his retribution so we should appreciate the writers actually tying off that loose end before shipping Jericho to RAW, but if felt a little too rushed to me.
Also add to the fact that Al Snow, Ivory, and Hugh Morrus are off working on TE3, the roster gets even smaller. I'm hoping Benoit and Guerrero jump to SD! (preferably after SS), so Benoit and RVD can have a rematch.
If he does jump,I'm hoping Benoit has a match with Cena. If Benoit can make Cena look good, then I rank him up right with Angle, as the wrestlers who can make any crappy (see Henry, Mark or Albert) or young (see Cena, John or Orton, Randy) to a decent match.

Was referring to the fact that in the storyline, Eddie and Benoit have both seemed to dislike The Bisch giving them advice the past 2 weeks in the back. On camera moronovich.

They were the top notch heels on Smackdown along with Jericho. Look at the roster, there are no other top heels(excluding the recently acquired Next Big Thing).
34 Days to WrestleMania! Wait, maybe it's 27. Ah hell, just roll the credits... Vince, Shane, & 10 Security Guards: the obligatory ten minute ego stroke.
