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 |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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.

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

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.

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. |

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

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. |

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

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

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. |

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?

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. |

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