at the SD Women's title match ending via DQ.
The amount of DQs and no contests done by WWE this year has to be a new record for a single year by now. They've gotten creatively bankrupt when it comes to the amount of times they've failed to deliver a real ending to their big matches on TV. Even NXT is slowly starting to get into that bad habit. Almost no reason to be invested in their big matches anymore when they fail most of the time to deliver with them. |

SD tag title match was pretty good even if WWE ended up giving away the result by having New Day make their surprise return as a group and challenge for the belts.
at SD losing their tag champs now. |

Well there’s New Day split up, but not really because Woods and Kofi clearly are gonna have to be around to defend/drop the SmackDown belts.

So whoever is running Raw is a fucking idiot, let's just NOT draft Big E even though he would come with Kofi and Woods, cause that makes any fucking sense...

RAW legit picked more of their own guys than they did with SD guys for tonight's Draft show.
Even with their infamous history of bad drafting, the NY Jets and Cleveland Browns would have done a better job with WWE's Draft than team Red Brand did tonight. |

Be funny if the Street Profits get drafted to SmackDown now and they and New Day just casually trade belts.

Or "why wouldn't Raw also want Big E if they are drafting New Day"? Just go back to the fucking tumblers with the draft picks being "random". Yes they aren't really random, but at least it gives them a logical out as to why only Otis got drafted to Smackdown and not Tucker. |

Not sure Otis knows how a lawsuit or courts actually work.
Poor fellow, he's probably losing his MitB contract and that sweet looking MitB lunchbox very soon. |

“We at Fox want to keep Otis”
”What about Tucker, they can be drafted together” ”Nah, fuck Tucker” There’s really no logic to any of this. Still not as bad as Alexa and Nikki being drafted to the same show in separate picks last year. |

Undrafted
Dana Brooke (could have been picked with Mandy) Humberto Carrillo Drew Gulak Tucker (could have been drafted with Otis) Mickie James Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado) Murphy Shorty G They should all ask for their release since WWE thinks so little of them. |

Still the worst ever was Raw drafting Strowman, but not the other 3 Wyatt members, because why would you want to get 4 for 1 when you can just get 1? |

Like do a sports expansion style draft where each brand can protect just a few guys but everyone else is fair game and not allow the ability to pick people from their own brand. Add in NXT and 205 Live to deepen the draft pool and undrafted people staying on their brands and you get two nights of shows full of big surprises and brands with actual big shakeups done. Could even do some draft and post-draft trades so its not mostly just the same people on a brand but now on a different show. |

I know he has a good entrance and good promos but I'm sorry, Bray just no-selling everything everyone does to him is not interesting.

Fiend vs. Owens was pretty good.
This week's Draft episode was also pretty good overall. RAW being as bad as last year's Draft at drafting was worth a bunch of laughs. Only real sour points was the SD Women's title match and most of the actual Draft picks being duds in terms of real interest and lack of big surprises. New Day splitting up was the only real surprise from the picks made tonight. |

List of people who've been able to get good matches out of Bray Wyatt so far:
Daniel Bryan |

Even though its not really comparable, I'd add Cena to that list only because of how good their Firefly Fun House cinematic match was at Mania 36.
Pre-FF match I wouldn't add Cena since those matches he had against Bray were either bad or huge momentum killers for Bray. |

Remember when Bobby Lashley was drafted to RAW and he had to relinquish the ECW Championship because it was brand exclusive?

DQ is a perfectly valid finish. Using it too much is a problem, but not ever using it is too. Way too many people on the internet feel like they're just waiting to complain about "non-finishes." |

Was pretty easy to call Big E and Kofi & Woods being split up. Thought it would be Big E drafted away from them though.

Bayley's last 2 high profile title matches both ended via DQ finish and WWE does several non-finishes to their matches almost weekly. Maybe if you actually watched these shows regularly, you'd understand why this has become very tiring to constantly watch happen in WWE. |

I’m not really a fan of the full draft concept. It forces the brands to re draft their own guys and that is always going to feel lacklustre. The way they’ve handled it this time might be the worst effort ever. Splitting tags that could have been drafted together, moving all components of a never-ending storyline over to the other brand, meh. The whole point is to create new, interesting match ups not move a storyline wholesale to another show. My interest in Seth on SD went through the floor knowing that the Murphy/Mysterios storyline is just going to continue.
