Oh, 5 more before the main event. Good stuff.

Everyone forgot about Neville.

Neville will be great for the Cruiserweight division

We'll wait and see how the shows look and if they change the aesthetics and feels, but none of this has been "OMG YAY!" like some previous years, other than maybe Finn being drafted.

The rules they set probably played a role since no real surprises outside of who from NXT gets picked.

Would be pretty dumb to split tag teams when the division needs them and RAW getting more picks meant the draft had to favor it a bit more.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-19-2016 09:35 PM

Thought Cesar007 would go to Smackdown

Dark One 07-19-2016 09:36 PM

Raw is basically the show everyone wanted to be Smackdown.

Simple Fan 07-19-2016 09:36 PM

I like Del Rio to Smackdown, they are stacked in my opinion.

Dark One 07-19-2016 09:36 PM

Smackdown used their picks on Natalya and Del Rio.

Okay.

Hanso Amore 07-19-2016 09:36 PM

ClockShot 07-19-2016 09:37 PM

Del Rio is a nice rebound from missing out on Cesaro.

Can only assume the Sheamus pick comes bundled with Erick Rowan.

Smackdown really "not looking good"..... Think they need even more people from NXT to bolster their roster..... are they allowed to just call more people up once the draft is over?

Evil Vito 07-19-2016 09:39 PM

Okay, those last 3 SmackDown picks were really uninspiring. Here's hoping Ziggler and Del Rio can somehow become interesting again.

Droford 07-19-2016 09:39 PM

Can't wait for next year's draft..

Emperor Smeat 07-19-2016 09:40 PM

Going to laugh if they do another screwy draw finish since it doesn't matter which brand has the champ till Battlegrounds.

Smackdown is fine, they have all the top stars and have the IC title. Tag division is going to be weak though.

Evil Vito 07-19-2016 09:41 PM

Can't imagine any of the big NXT names like Bayley, Joe, Nakamura, Aries, etc. would have fallen to the untelevised portion of the draft. So it's probably gonna be people like Mojo Rawley.

Still expecting to see Bayley as Sasha's mystery partner.

How SD has the face of the company in Cena, the internet darling in AJ Styles, everyone's favorite lunatic in Ambose, and RKOs. Raw looks weak to me with the exception of the tag division and Kevin Owens.

Still feels like a Friday to me cause Smackdown is on. Havent really watched it since it moved back to Thursday.

Going to assume it will be like with the rumored former wrestlers getting hired that they just show up on a brand in the future. Maybe Shane or Steph makes an announcement about new hires whenever it happens.

Mauro, I like your commentary, but you can't call the "poster boy of the Authority" anti-establishment. C'mon man.

Plus the fact raw drafted a beyond part timer in lesnar, and eventual part timer in Jericho. IMO smackdown killed it in this draft.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-19-2016 09:48 PM

Been watching Big Show's first legit run as WCW Champion in the early Nitros/NWO starters. He like defended the belt every week it seemed.

Feel like they have to. More shenanigans and and Rollins can claim to be Champion going in to Battleground but really Dean is. Dean pins Reigns so Rollins still claims to be Champion and is awarded a new title. Or could go the other way around and have amRollins screw Ambrose he is awarded a title on SD.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-19-2016 09:50 PM

American Alpha on the WWE Network rn.

Been a great Smackdown Live. Bound to be a few disappointments with everyone moving around. All in all I'm satisfied with how it turned out.

To be fair, they didn't draft Big Show and Nia Jax, so you're probably right.

Fine speech.

Evil Vito 07-19-2016 09:59 PM

Even if the last three SmackDown picks did nothing for me, I really don't think they made out all that badly. Cena and Orton (when healthy) are still going to get the biggest reactions of anybody on the roster, good or bad. Ambrose has been getting great reactions too for quite some time. And of course Styles is excellent.

I do wish their midcard was a bit more fleshed out. One of Zayn/Owens/Cesaro would have really helped to add another workhorse.

But people like Lesnar and Jericho going to Raw certainly doesn't bother me. I never expected Lesnar to ever be on anything other than Raw the few times a year he shows up on television. And Jericho is meh at this point but is also gonna be a part-timer before long.

Emperor Smeat 07-19-2016 10:00 PM

rez 07-19-2016 10:02 PM

Rollins wins Sunday and decides he wants to head to Smackdown with the belt. USA is taking on extra production costs for a live product/extra marketing...

so scratch all of that. Vince logic..Roman wins Sunday.

Emperor Smeat 07-19-2016 10:04 PM

Decent draft show for tv but still don't understand why they didn't do all the NXT picks on tv. Doesn't really benefit the WWE nor NXT for the unannounced picks to not be on tv.

RAW's roster is stronger right now but mostly because of the extra picks and exlucive cruiserweight division.
