then why not use a single pick for the social outcasts instead of picking bo and axel separately

So wait...why the hell did they draft Bo and Axel separately to the same show when they could have drafted them as a tag team

(edit) ahahah Heath agrees

Breaking Braun Strowman away from the Wyatts is a very strange move. Having him on the show with the cruiserweights already has me dreading the him killing the division segment.

I'm on Team Smackdown! with Cena, AJ, Kane, and Erick Rowan. As captain of Team Smackdown!, I want to trade Becky Lynch, Bray Wyatt, and Dolph Ziggler for Rusev and Lana.

Last bit I saw they cut to him in an empty room, still undrafted, wondering where he would go, and then somebody shut the lights off.

In the last thread I predicted the final 2 picks being Curtis Axel and Tamina. Unfortunately I didn't know injured wrestlers could not be drafted. I was way off with my guess for last tag team, somehow like 5 teams got picked AFTER The Ascension. Either way, this draft was A Good Lucha Thing GODDAMMIT WOOH.

I for one hope that despite this lovely draft and rosters that this leads to a new golden age of WWE programming so for once I can feel vindicated with the WWE despite itself.

He needs to pitch it like this until the next draft, sort of like how Curtis Axel kept talking about not being eliminated from the Royal Rumble.

Maybe Rowan and Bray are gonna bring the tag belts to Smackdown at Summerslam. Is it too soon for Harper to return shockingly for that show?

Is Smackdown even going to bother with their own Women's Championship? It'd be Natalya and Becky at every single PPV.

The raw roster gets even more askew when you add in all the cruiser talent. I mean Ibushi on his own for starters.

No Undertaker draft because injured wrestlers couldn't be drafted and if you wanna be technical, being old is kind of a permanent injury. Goldust barely slipped by.
