Looks like they might be moving all the tag teams to Raw. Probably best for now as there’s no depth having split most of them up or the few that are on the shelf due to injury.

Moved to RAW

New Day
Miz & Morrison

Left on the board.
Dorado & Metalik

Keep Roode/Ziggler and Street Profits On Raw. Draft Nak/Cesaro and that’s a decent division.

Cycle in Hurt Business and RETRIBUTION here and there.

Nowhere near enough to split them over 2 shows.

My interest in Seth on SD went through the floor knowing that the Murphy/Mysterios storyline is just going to continue.
100% this.

I said they should just go back to WWE lottery format, with the ping pong balls and tumbler thing.

The decisions to break up New Day and Heavy Machinery would be just as fucking stupid, but at least they would be logical in the lottery format of it being random.

Like seriously, why would Raw have the option to draft the entire New Day, and purposely say "well actually, we just want Kofi and Woods, but not the guy getting the best push of his career?" It's not like Raw doesn't have a 3 hour show to put on each week.

And if Big E is so terrible that you go out of your way to keep him off Raw, then why in the fuck would Smackdown use their VERY next pick to draft him.

Raw already indicated they didn't want him by specifically not drafting him. Why would Smackdown feel the need to pick him right away, when there is 0 danger that they will lose him to Raw?

The writers are either the stupidest assholes working in all of entertainment, or they think their fans are too dumb to realize that the shit they do makes no sense.

Either way, not one of them should be getting paid for their horrible writing.

I had the same thought too; the announcing of the picks is so lacklustre with Steph reading from a card. Wouldn’t you want it to be dynamic? The original draft felt like that with Flair and McMahon going tit-for-tat.

Framing The New Day picks as individual picks, having SD pick E, and Raw “fire back” by picking “former WWE Champion” Kofi Kingston makes sense. They could have held Xavier off from this given he’s just had a big lay off for injury and then he has a dilemma with his friends split.

Some of the consistency is weird too. Charlotte and Garza are both on the board while injured but Erik is listed with Ivar due to his injury (though that could just be a length of injury deal).
