I'm fine with the NXT picks. I'd rather Bayley, Joe, etc. get made a big deal of when they come up instead of just getting drafted.
 
Heath Slater was the only wrestler listed on the draft preview that wasn't drafted. The Social Outcasts were listed as a team, but Raw for some reason picked Bo and Axel separately. Makes no god damn sense.

Pretty stupid when they literally turned around and picked Axel right after, meaning they used two picks when they could have just used one.

But this is all fake sooo whatever.

HEEEEEYY NO ONE WANTS BAYLAY.

Lol goddamn.

Only way I'd want Bayley on the main roster would be if she turned super heel and put Izzy through a table on her way out of Full Sail.

So the Wyatt Family is split up and the women's roster is thinner than ever. GEEZUS

Eh, Rowan went to Smackdown and I'm guessing that's where Harper will end up too. Seems more like Strowman is the odd man out to me. Maybe they have something planned for him.

Or more likely he's going to sit and rot.
 
Looking at it listed out like that, I have about the same amount of guys (seven or eight) I really want to watch on each show surprisingly. Thought Raw would have more.

Hype Bros coming back makes sense, SD needs more tag teams.

But damn, both rosters are looking paper-thin, especially RAW with its 3 hours.

I wonder if they'll step back and realize that maybe this wasn't the best idea.

To be honest I can see them adding more people throughout the year, like mick and bryan "scouting" and offering contracts to indie guys, I bet a few of the cruiserweight classic wrestlers will get picked up.

I mean, they pretty much have to. This has showed how bare bones the roster already was.

The saddest part is that we're going to be watching the exact same women's matches for the entire year, there are only so many different variations you can do with so few people.

Watching the WWE Network replay of the Draft Center's reactions to the first few picks. They all looked legit shocked at the Balor pick

They need to hire a lot of cruiserweights.

Raw is stupidly OP in terms of variety. We can only hope Joe and Nakamura go to SD.
 
At 2 hours, I think Smackdown will be a good show with that roster. That's the show you want to be on if you're looking to make a name. RAW will be overcrowded. #BlueFist
 
Smackdown as a tight and polished two hour show can still be great every week, just like Raw could be great if they make smarter use of the talent going forward. It's the execution I'm worried about, not the potential.

Blame the Live Audio Wrestling people.

And it SHOULD be FaBreeze.

Yeah, but copyright/trademarks won't allow it.

Except for Owens and Zayn be on the same brand I'm fine with most of the draft

I just don't get it WHY they keep Bayley on NXT

Eh, Rowan went to Smackdown and I'm guessing that's where Harper will end up too. Seems more like Strowman is the odd man out to me. Maybe they have something planned for him.

Or more likely he's going to sit and rot.
Yeah
Or he will finally get a big push or he will be put on some low card feud and leave in the near future

He is going to squash Balor and then be the champ after beating Rollins. Strowman the new face of Raw.

I don't think anyone on the roster is intended to be a Cruiserweight. Kalisto being on SD kind of confirms that for me. They are bringing in new guys after the CWC.
