Is Dabba-Kato even on Raw?? Dude just been on underground, but whatever put him in the draft pal!

Wonder how long it will take for something stupid and illogical to happen lol

Rumors of Eva Marie and Ronda Rousey returning on RAW

Evil Vito 10-12-2020 04:12 PM

Apparently "RETALIATION" aka Mercedes Martinez was dropped from the group

probably because the rest of the group are super active on social media trying to get this over (dumb as it is) and she stays away from it

ClockShot 10-12-2020 04:13 PM

Smart girl.

Evil Vito 10-12-2020 04:20 PM

Re-drafting the rosters just feels really dumb.

Liked in the early brand split days when they'd just do a lottery switching a handful of people and that was that. At least it was a better storyline explanation for splitting up a tag team other than the decision makers at one show deciding one of the members of the team wasn't worth a shit.

slik 10-12-2020 04:36 PM

I wish they'd just announce whose switching brands instead of drafting people 'already on the show'

Makes it more complicated than it needs to be

Evil Vito 10-12-2020 04:49 PM

If they just had two tumblers for Raw and Smackdown and did like 10 picks per show, it would be smoother.

They could have fun with it as well. Kofi's name is pulled out as the first pick for Raw, Woods gets picked a segment later, and there's now all sorts of angst over whether or not E will get his name pulled. Tucker gets pulled for Raw and you get the backstage segment of them saying goodbye.

Rollins picked out for SmackDown, you get the same backstage promo where he's happy to get a fresh start. Only to show him annoyed later as Rey, Dominik, and Murphy all get their names pulled during the night.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 05:10 PM

Yeah the way WWE currently does their draft is just full of head scratching nonsense.

Even how they handle trades between brands feels like they put no real effort into it.

If the brands were actual sports teams, people would be calling for RAW's GM to get fired after last year's draft debacle and/or the Styles trade.

Exactly what I was saying in the Smackdown thread. Seriously, why wouldn't Raw want Big E? Even if the USA Network and Raw officials HATE Big E, you still take him just so Smackdown doesn't have him.

The entire point of the brand split is they are supposed to want brand supremacy. It's why we have Battleground PPVs, and Cross Brand Survivor Series matches. Why would Raw purposefully give Smackdown Big E to help Smackdown.

It's also just as stupid that Smackdown would then redraft him. Raw just passed on him, so Smackdown doesn't need to waste their next pick getting him. They could have instead drafted a Raw wrestler. At that point, they could have got Angel Garza or Humberto.

Nothing illogical about passing up on a young talented wrestler to secure a guy you already have because Raw didn't want him.

Hope Ali gets drafted back to SD and the rest of RETRIBUTION stay on Raw.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:07 PM

Apparently Eva Marie decided to spoil her rumored surprise return tonight shortly before RAW started.

Good always enjoy something that will make internet cry.

slik 10-12-2020 08:18 PM

Can't wait for Bray Wyatt to no-sell Drew McIntyre for 20 minutes before getting pinned after a kick in the head.

xrodmuc316 10-12-2020 08:19 PM

LOL Charlotte been gone for months, still gets drafted in first round.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:21 PM

Street Profits going to SD was very predictable after what happened with SD's tag belts and Bianca moving to the Blue Brand but WWE really should just merge their tag divisions since they don't have the real depth nor quality for two main roster divisions.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:23 PM

Ouch at Owens back since that announcer table refused to break.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:34 PM

Owens vs. Black No DQ match was pretty good.

I'd laugh if both got drafted to the blue brand and WWE lazily continues their feud there.

slik 10-12-2020 08:34 PM

When did Miz/Morrison get drafted to RAW?

Was that off-tv?

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:37 PM

Midway into last week's SD show.

xrodmuc316 10-12-2020 08:39 PM

K.O. and Miz switch every year

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:39 PM

Guess no Fiend vs. Owens feud for RAW since Owens just got drafted to the Blue brand.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:42 PM

Add Mandy to the list of people who got a worse new theme.

El Generico really must be in charge of WWE's musical department these days.

slik 10-12-2020 08:44 PM

I don't get drafting people to the brand they are already on

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:45 PM

Going to die laughing if that inter-brand battle royal is how Eva Marie makes her grand return and she somehow wins it.

xrodmuc316 10-12-2020 08:46 PM

Mandy Rose being the best promo out of the 4 is making me laugh.

I guess I didn't notice Friday, but Lars also somehow got an even more generic theme as well

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:52 PM

Lars doing a more convincing job of causing general chaos than Retribution ever did pre-Ali swerve.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 08:56 PM

:lol: at both brands tag champs just casually swapping belts backstage.

Evil Vito 10-12-2020 08:56 PM

LOL they really did just trade titles.

slik 10-12-2020 08:57 PM

Lars is just a Dollar General Brock Lesnar

Boom

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 09:00 PM

Guess they really did yanks Mercedes Martinez from Retribution since she wasn't on the group's graphic.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 09:03 PM

Not counting Lars since he was a last minute addition to the pool, all the picks so far tonight have been evenly split between people staying and people going to a new brand at 7 picks each.

Also so far just 14 people and/or teams have been moved to a new brand out of 35 picks.

slik 10-12-2020 09:03 PM

why would anyone draft retribution

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 09:10 PM

Did Jeff Hardy screw up his lines by saying a "triple threat tag match" was next instead of a regular triple threat considering there was only 2 other people involved in that segment?

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 09:15 PM

:lol: He really did screw up his lines since its just a regular Triple Threat match.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 09:30 PM

Triple Threat match was very good.

Would have laughed if the ref had called for the bell despite Triple Threats being no DQ.

Elias attacking Hardy was odd though since you'd think he'd hate Sheamus for being the one who was revealed later to have caused the car accident that took him out of action for months and not Hardy.

Emperor Smeat 10-12-2020 09:36 PM

Pretty lame picks for this 4th Round outside of Sheamus swapping brands.
