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.
we all know wwe draft´s are BS but atleast back in the day it had a different feel to it ngl

The different feel came from the GMs being the likes of Vince and Flair, or Bischoff and Steph/Heyman etc. These days GMs are just there to be there lol
I will never forget Woken Matt laughing at Bray Wyatt laughing. Still makes me laugh to this day.
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.
Wow. Had no idea they were in the dark about the drafts. I always thought it was part of the script. You mean to tell me the "Say Big E's Name" was a legit reaction?
I remember _ Cesaro said on tv - yeah, I'm not staying with my friends... Cesaro just being indy Claudio and not doing it the wwe way....
My daddy created the college tradition Borg and trashcan nachos my daddy, Peter Brown used to wrestle was Tinker Bell thinking and Japan and Mexico are used to wrestle has a guy in Tinker Bell costume love you Matt Hardy. Love you.

I’m glad jr got drafted to smackdown so he could call all of Jeff’s big moments at the time which made them hit so much harder

P.S. i love the hardyz

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.
I think it will be Tim Scott and Peter Brown as I knew liters of America the guy who is the wrestler sumo wrestlers dressed up as Tinker Bell in Japan peter brown
Raw and smackdown were created to simulate competition when wwe had no competition. 😅
The draft would feel more significant if they didnt "draft" the same stars who are already on the same show.

They should do it like the 04 draft where they draft stars from each others shows
The draft is a good way to give people time off and showcase lower card talent.

If the WWE wanted the draft t0 be fun, they should act like trades and deals are part of the game. Behaving upset because RAW picked somebody looks stupid.

Exposes that it's stupid and pointless???😂 Most of the people they "Draft" stay on their current brand except like 3 or 4 who actually move lol.

Who didn't know his already though? What do you expect a draft to be for a scripted show?
The draft is so stupid and corny, especially when they do that conference room bullshit. They want to be ESPN/NFL/NBA so bad it's cringe.
its all done for story ive known that for ages same as king of the ring , ret hart and mr machiszmo razor ramon had a feud so they met in king the ring , even mr erfect had a segment of wwe sujperstars talking about him tagging with the nacho man all leading to a flair vs perfect leave wwe to looser
"exposed" lmao, this is just getting sad, man. You're exposing the fake draft that we've all known is fake since it started? Cool Matt, cool. Lol. Good luck dude.

You didn't watch the video numb-nuts. He said multiple times how they hid the results from wrestlers so they could get their real reactions on camera.
