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.

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.
