    The draft is meaningless and stupid. They should get rid of the draft. Most of the wrestlers stay on the same brand.

    ​@@FGTEEV10 Well that's because there is no brand split. They ended it many years ago, and they never went back to it cause they never wanted to. Once we're aware of that, it's easier to understand why people appear on either show each week. WWE just pretend the brands are split, so they can have 2 shows with a " draft " theme to boost the ratings on a specific week, as well as being trending on Twitter and be the center of attention and discussions for a week or two due to the draft theme. But that's it. It's been a fake draft for many years now to generate more views, and therefore more money. Which they have no intentions to enforce considering there is no brand split. They ended the brand split around the time the ECW show stopped ( so, around 2009-2010 ) , and have never split the brands since. Even NXT isn't split from the main rosters, as we've seen Natalya and Chelsie recently down there. Carmelo appeared on Smackdown weeks before being traded, as well as Dragon Lee. Shows that anyone can appear anywhere at anytime. Which proves there is no brand split at all.

    @@williambrulip512fake draft? lol duhhhhhh. They all can’t be bangers. They’re setting us up for a draft in the future with big moves and what not. Lots of real drafts are as predictable as the scouting reports rankings. 1/10 drafts have crazy things happen.

    It should just be for NXT people being drafted to the main shows. Now only do people jump back and forth regardless, but when someone like Bianca gets drafted, you know where Street Profits are going, Seth/Becky, Andrade/Charlotte, Ricochet/Samantha Irvin, etc, etc.

    They need to get rid of the draft unless they make it something that matters. Maybe the rosters stay and then the "GMs" select 5-10 superstars to draft over to the other show or maybe whoever wins survivor series gets the #1 pick. Something meaningful or else just get rid of it.

    The draft is dumb. It's a cheap plot point to move a few wrestlers around to fix up their storylines or set up new ones. The more realistic approach would be to have barriers(e.g wrestlers get escorted out by security if they're on the other show, unless production states they're a guest), and use cross brand conflict storylines to cause wrestlers to demand trades. Or in general, just have the respective GMs work out trades throughout the year. Would make their storytelling much more cohesive and believable.
