As far as how WWE should book The Draft
*Smackdown gets the 1st overall pick because I would have it that The Head of the Table Roman Reigns somehow pulls strings to make sure his brand gets the #1 overall pick with Roman being chosen...RAW gets 2nd pick
- #1 pick...WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns drafted to Smackdown
- #2 pick...WWE Champion Bobby Lashley drafted to RAW
- #3 pick...Smackdown with their 2nd pick draft The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre who will be making his way over to Friday nights

10- Bayley
9- Becky Lynch
8- Alundra Blayze
7- Chyna
6- Sasha Banks
5- Mickie James
4- Lita
3- Beth Phoenix
2- Trish Stratus
1- Charlotte Flair kind of hard to argue her as being the GOAT...12 times as a champion...10 times with the RAW/SD Women's Championship...2 times with the NXT Women's Championship...Royal Rumble Match winner...so many accolades in such a short time. Given who her father is, possibly the greatest of all time Ric Flair like those are huge shoes to fill. A lot of expectations but she's exceeded them and even surpassed them. Take in she's only been on the scene since 2014/15 so in excess 6 or 7 years and look at what she's already accomplished.
This is my top 10
But who is in your top 10 as far as greatest Women's wrestlers of all time?

For the Women's side...I will go with Bayley if she's not Champion anymore by then. But if she still is somehow, then I say Sasha will. But I would go with a complete surprise and give me an NXT superstar. I would go with Rhea Ripley.
For the Men's side, give me either Big E or Daniel Bryan

Given that the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame class wasn't given their chance to really shine because of COVID-19 and the class not even being showcased if at all at WrestleMania 36, it begs the question of if once this COVID-19 pandemic is over assuming it is over by next year's WrestleMania, it makes me wonder who ends up in next year's class?
Given that it is in Hollywood, in LA...bright lights with all the stars being out with it being in Hollywood I can see next year's class being huge in the sense of who goes in

WrestleMania 36 rundown
Considering that this is not the show we got in real life not even close to it because of the whole coronavirus pandemic and this being a regular Mania I will get right into this right now:
- Street Profits on the Kick Off Show defending the RAW Tag Team Championships against Seth Rollins' cohorts The Authors of Pain and actually beating AOP actually puts Street Profits on the map as far as being a legit tag team. I mean AOP for the most part are a dominant tag team and they have aligned themselves with perhaps RAW's biggest heel on their roster, that being Seth Rollins. I definitely would have expected either Murphy or even Seth Rollins himself to get involved here in this match and cost The Street Profits the titles but then again with Street Profits winning on the pre-show it not only gets the crowd hot but at the same time legitimizes Street Profits as far as being champions since they just won the titles not all that long ago but it begs the question of which tag team is next in line for the RAW Tag Team Championships?
- I wonder if any NXT superstars here in your diary will debut on RAW tomorrow night the night after WrestleMania 36?
- Liv Morgan winning the Women's Battle Royal no doubt does wonders for her. I mean yeah sure whoever wins the Women's Battle Royal they are like relevant for like a few days or even a few weeks but then after that they fade into obscurity. So that being said I have to wonder if that will be more of the same with Liv Morgan winning? I mean sure she should get a push here but will she? Now that is the main question to answer
- I can expect more returns in the Women's division soon enough like Nia Jax, Ember Moon, etc.
- I can only speculate as to who The Hacker is? I think The Hacker has to be either Mustafa Ali or it has to be Chad Gable...one of the 2 of them because they haven't been seen on WWE TV in a while
- King Corbin taking out Elias before their match even gets started...well I can't say that I am surprised and I will tell you why. You obviously want to carry the feud over but then at the same time you want to get major heat on Corbin who is probably one of the biggest heels in the WWE right now so...what better way to do that than by him taking out Elias right here and especially on such a grand stage such as WrestleMania. However, I think Corbin he will end up having another impromptu match here at Mania but as for who his opponent will be is really anyone's guess.
- Andrade I would have thought that he would have dropped the WWE United States Championship by now especially given his real life WWE suspension but I would have thought that his suspension would have also have come into play here in this diary but it didn't. Instead you have him beat Rey Mysterio, Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza...yeah sure I get it...you wanna build up Andrade as WWE United States Champion but then again the title is barely ever defended nowadays anyway so really what are you building? To me, this win is basically insignificant.
- Aleister Black in his first WrestleMania appearance wins the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. I mean this basically puts Black over even more as a superstar but also on this grand stage such as WrestleMania, Black is basically 1-0 now at WrestleMania. Plus people already compare Black to a young Undertaker anyway, so you obviously want to build Black up to be the new supernatural force of the WWE. Well, you are off to a great start so I will give you that and he manages to eliminate Sheamus last...if anything that is like a dream match scenario that could happen in WWE one day.
- By having the NXT Women's Championship match open your regular WrestleMania card...is actually pretty unexpected but then again we have been seeing a lot of that lately. However, seeing Charlotte Flair beat Rhea Ripley to become the new NXT Women's Champion...I have to admit this result really irks me and I will tell you why. Charlotte doesn't need the win in all honesty and you obviously want to build Rhea Ripley up to be a future big time star in this business and by her losing to Charlotte Flair especially at WrestleMania doesn't do that. In fact quite the opposite because this sets Rhea back further. But then again Charlotte Flair is possibly the greatest Women's Champion in WWE history bar none. I mean how many reigns has she had now? 10 Women's Championships now on her resume and an NXT Women's Championship too on top of it and a Royal Rumble Match win. I mean Charlotte has virtually done it all in this business and if she had lost, it wouldn't have hurt her at all. However, now Charlotte is a 2 time NXT Women's Champion now. The target is going to be on Charlotte's back in NXT because she is going to have so many challengers down there such as: Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, Mia Yim, Candice Lerae, Rhea Ripley again, Dakota Kai, Tegan Knox, Toni Storm the NXT UK Women's Champion, I could go on and on
- Robert Roode is back...I mean where has Roode been all this time? But then again seeing Heavy Machinery (Otis & Tucker) and Mandy Rose beat Ziggler & Roode and Sonya Deville in a 6 Person Intergender Tag Team Match...I mean the storyline is probably one of your best that you have going on Smackdown Live and not just because of who is involved but also because of the whole hacker element also being involved. However, seeing the babyfaces go over the heels here, I do have to wonder if this puts Heavy Machinery into the conversation as far as the Smackdown Tag Team Championships are concerned especially with this win? Safe to say Rose and Deville are over as a tag team and both of them can go their separate ways as singles competitors in the Smackdown Women's division but then again I have to wonder if it ends up resulting in a feud between Rose and Deville with Rose obviously being the babyface and Deville being the heel there?
- The Fiend Bray Wyatt going over John Cena was not only the right call but this is really what should have happened 6 years ago. Bray Wyatt not only beats Cena but he actually dominated Cena...which not only sends a strong message that Wyatt is basically here to stay but Cena more or less is already on his way out. I mean Cena is practically in Hollywood doing movies...he is essentially a star, he is a mega star now in Hollywood just like The Rock and WWE Hall of Famer Batista are because they are movie stars too and Cena more or less is in that movie star club now in Hollywood. So I don't think we see Cena for a while if that. I don't think we see Cena again until at least WrestleMania 37 in this diary and given that it is in Hollywood, it makes sense to include Cena there. But then again with The Fiend winning...you basically build up Wyatt's supernatural mystique again. You build it back up with him as The Fiend and with him beating a future WWE Hall of Famer first ballot in Cena, then you can have The Fiend back in the discussion as far as the WWE Universal Championship is concerned.
- Kevin Owens in his first singles Mania match since WrestleMania 33 where he beat Chris Jericho to become WWE United States Champion...Owens gets another WrestleMania moment here by beating Seth Rollins in a Mania singles match but not in just any regular match, he beats Rollins in a No DQ match. I mean this match literally had everything in it and interferences from not only AOP and Murphy but then the RAW Tag Team Champions The Street Profits and the 2020 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner Aleister Black shows up too to even the odds for Owens...and then the match ending in Owens going over. I mean it definitely is the right call and with this rivalry essentially being over, I wonder where Kevin Owens goes from here? I wonder where Seth Rollins goes from here?
- Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross becoming the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions beating Asuka and Kairi Sane...it is about time. Why I say that? Asuka and Kairi Sane ever since they won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships they barely defended those titles if at all. However, with Bliss and Cross winning the titles maybe now they can defend the titles more often and actually have the titles mean something more now rather than it just being props which is what it was when Asuka and Kairi Sane had those titles. Maybe now Asuka and Kairi Sane can go their separate ways now and become singles competitors which is what they should be in the RAW Women's division if you ask me.
- Braun Strowman winning back the WWE Intercontinental Championship beating Sami Zayn but not just beating him but literally destroying him. Can you really even call this a match? More like it was a squash match but then again Braun should have never even have lost the title to begin with but now that he is IC Champion once again it begs the question of who will step up to face Braun now for the title? I can easily see it being Sheamus considering Sheamus has been on a virtual roll like Sheamus has been on a destruction path ever since coming back to WWE and he is in the best shape of his career possibly even his life and Sheamus has never won the IC Title in his career. That is the only title Sheamus hasn't won. If Sheamus were to win the IC Title, he would become a Grand Slam Champion in WWE which is why I can see it being Sheamus/Strowman for the IC Title soon enough.
- WWE Hall of Famers for this year...it makes sense that Batista would get the huge entrance given that he is the headliner for this class but then again how about the nWo...the New World Order? They deserve their own Hall of Fame entrance too given that they are as big a headliner as Batista
- But then again I wonder who ends up in the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame class for next year in Hollywood in this diary?
- Now that Roman Reigns is essentially WWE Universal Champion again, I only knew it would be a matter of time before the people would turn on Roman Reigns yet again. I mean really this is a man who overcame leukemia and yet you guys crap on his matches? I really don't understand that at all...this man overcame a life and death disease that many people die from and he came back stronger than ever. I would have expected the fans to side with Roman here especially in this match against Goldberg and given that both men are essentially legends, icons in this business that the fans would be all over this match clamoring for it. Then again now that Reigns is champion, how long before he crosses paths with The Fiend Bray Wyatt?
- I would have expected you to keep the whole Boneyard Match stipulation here with Taker and AJ Styles but you opted to go with a regular singles match instead. I have to wonder why? But then again seeing Taker beat AJ Styles, I don't think we see Taker again until next year's WrestleMania, WrestleMania 37 in Hollywood. Now as far as AJ Styles goes, with him losing here I have to wonder if AJ Styles takes a break for a bit? Or if he ends up in a feud for the WWE Championship or he ends up in a feud with The Rated R Superstar Edge?
- King Corbin's impromptu match is none other than against Gronk...Rob Gronkowski...the WrestleMania host I figured that this would happen. Gronk in his first ever Mania manages to beat King Corbin...this basically not only sends the fans home happy but then again Gronk he is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer in real life now...just came out of retirement and is now going to be playing with Brady again in Tampa Bay, and Tampa being Gronk's new city no way he was gonna lose especially to King Corbin here.
- Finally, a result I can get behind...finally a result that sends fans home happy. Becky Lynch finally drops the RAW Women's Championship and finally loses the title to Shayna Baszler. This is really what should have happened in real life and seeing Shayna become the new RAW Women's Champion beating The Man Becky Lynch...this not only legitimizes Shayna but this basically puts her on the map now. Plus, Becky as champion was starting to grow stale anyway. Becky did her best work when she was chasing the title as a contender and you can have her do that again. But then again I was almost expecting Ronda Rousey to show up in this match either to attack Becky or to help Shayna somehow. Shayna got the job done by herself with no help at all whatsoever which basically puts Shayna even more over as a badass heel in the WWE Women's division especially on RAW but I have to wonder if Shayna's friends her buddies, Shafir and Duke they end up coming to the main roster and they end up on RAW with Shayna?
- The New Day become Smackdown Tag Team Champions once again...this is how many title reigns now as Tag Team Champions? They are 8 time champs now...they are probably one of the greatest tag teams not just in WWE but also of all time...like they are in that discussion with teams such as: Demolition, Edge & Christian, Harlem Heat, Legion of Doom, Dudley Boyz...they are in that discussion now. They have already solidified themselves as future WWE Hall of Famers especially first ballot in the tag team division by not only just beating The Usos here but also beating Miz & Morrison and Daniel Bryan & Drew Gulak. So it begs the question of which tag team steps up to The New Day? I wonder if it ends up being Heavy Machinery? Or you have an NXT tag team show up on the main roster and join Smackdown Live...whether that ends up being the Undisputed Era or Forgotten Sons
- Bayley retaining her WWE Smackdown Women's Championship yet again beating Carmella, Naomi, Lacey Evans and even Sasha Banks it is like who has Bayley not beaten? I mean she has literally gone through the whole division on Smackdown Live beating almost every woman she has stepped in the ring with and she has been champion now for how long? Her title reign has almost been as long as Becky's has
- Edge in his first WrestleMania match in almost 9 years manages to beat Randy Orton in not just any regular match but he manages to beat him here in Last Man Standing...this match was as brutal as it comes. I mean probably one of the most violent Last Man Standing matches that I have ever seen especially at WrestleMania but of course it had to be because of the story you were trying to tell with these 2 men. Plus Edge needed this win much more than Orton did and Orton can take his long overdue break but for Edge he can go on to other things now that he is back here in WWE.
- I am shocked here at the main event and why? Not only am I shocked that Drew McIntyre went over here by becoming WWE Champion but the way the manner in which he won the title...dominating Brock like how he did I don't even think that Brock has ever been dominated like this especially at WrestleMania. McIntyre toyed with Brock actually toyed with him here...and usually Brock is the one who dominates his opponents with such ease. McIntyre managed to do just that. This no doubt sends the fans home happy but after this, I don't think we see Brock again until at least SummerSlam 2020 in this diary or Brock we don't see him again until Survivor Series 2020 or Royal Rumble 2021.

Nothing can top the Boneyard Match of Styles/Taker
However, that is how many title reigns now for Charlotte Flair y'all? She is now a 2 time NXT Women's Champion and a 10 time Women's Champion. If y'all take in the title reigns altogether she would be a 12 time champion but they don't recognize the NXT Women's Championship as a Women's World Title anyway but still. Rhea should have gone over Charlotte. Why? A loss for Rhea especially to Charlotte at Mania kills whatever momentum Rhea had or could have had. I'm talkin in terms of credibility. A loss for Charlotte wouldn't have hurt her at all whereas a loss for Rhea hurts her more or less going forward.
Wyatt/Fiend going over Cena was the right call even though it should have happened 6 years ago but to each their own. At least with a win y'all it actually helps build the character of the Fiend back up again especially after he lost the WWE Universal Championship to Goldberg.
RAW Tag Team Championship...Street Profits going over Garza and Theory was also another right call. Why? Street Profits are not only one of your most over Tag teams in the WWE right now but also they just won the titles not all that long ago so it wouldn't have made sense for them to drop it so soon. However, seeing Bianca Belair post match making the save for the Street Profits as they were being attacked by Garza/Theory and Zelina was unexpected at least for me. It makes sense though y'all considering Bianca and Montez are married in real life and to see her with the Street Profits post match to stand tall was great. I have to wonder though if Belair ends up on the main roster after this. If she does, it is obvious she ends up on RAW.
Smackdown Women's Championship...Bayley going over yet again wasn't surprising to me cuz if anythin y'all I expected this outcome to tell you the truth. I mean who is left for Bayley to beat? I mean she has gone through the whole division really. Unless they bring back Nia Jax and put her on Smackdown to go up against Bayley or you call up someone from NXT or you move someone from RAW over to Smackdown to face Bayley. However, I can see this leading into a Sasha babyface turn on Bayley especially considering the tension between the 2 of them during and after the match. I think WWE is probably setting up Sasha to beat Bayley for the title.
Ziggler vs Otis... Ziggler's first Mania singles match and it is against Otis really? However...I definitely did not expect Otis to win this match. I thought WWE was gonna pull a swerve and have Mandy come out only to turn on Otis and cost him the match. If anything I mean a Mandy Rose babyface turn is unexpected but one you can actually go with. However, where does Ziggler go from here though?
Lashley vs Aleister Black is one of those matches I didn't really care about. Why? Cuz of the fact y'all that Lana was involved. I mean all she has done really is hold Lashley back. Lashley should be a monster, he should be a main event guy. How is he goin to do that with Lana by his side? This win at least does wonders for Black because you can push him either towards the WWE United States Championship or even towards the WWE Championship. Lashley at this point needs to be separated from Lana because with her he's really going nowhere.
Edge/Orton Last Man Standing for me y'all was Match of the Night by far. The story these 2 told during the match was a thing of beauty. Probably one of the best and most brutal matches in Last Man Standing that I've ever seen. Edge showed no signs of ring rust but then again Orton made Edge look good in this match. There were times where I literally cringed and was scared for Edge because of Edge being seriously hurt in this match. However, Edge finishing Orton off with a Con-chair-to made so much sense.
Gronkowski becoming WWE 24/7 Champion was almost to be expected.
McIntyre going over in the main event to beat Lesnar to become WWE Champion was the right call. I think at this point WWE fans are sick of Brock being a part time champion and actually want to see the title defended more often. Hence, McIntyre winning. Now we have a full time Champion for once especially one that you can build around. This win does wonders for McIntyre character wise and it really solidifies him as a main event guy especially beating Brock. Don't get me wrong, I love Brock. I really do but WWE at this point needs to keep Brock away from the World Title scene at least for a little while and just put him in regular singles programs.

Just spitballing but would probably go with a card like this,yes it has a ton of NXT talents on it but most of these talents have been down in NXT for years and are long over due to be put on the main roster which in turns opens up spots in NXT for new talent and some lesser used main roster talent to move down. "Double Retirement" Triple H Vs. The Rock "TLC II 20th Anniversary" TLC Match: Edge Vs. Jeff Hardy Universal Title: Roman Reigns(C) Vs. Keith Lee "The Chosen One Vs. The Phenomenal One" WWE Title: Drew McIntrye(C) Vs. AJ Styles Brock Lesnar Vs. WALTER RAW Women's Title: Becky Lynch(C) Vs. Rhea Ripley Smackdown Women's Title: Charlotte Flair(C) Vs. Ronda Rousey The Undertaker Vs. Aleister Black John Cena Vs. Velveteen Dream Randy Orton Vs. Tommaso Ciampa Seth Rollins Vs. Buddy Murphy IC Title: Daniel Bryan(C) Vs. Johnny Gargano The New Day Vs. The Undisputed Era Something along those lines,if Jeff is gone by the time Mania roles around next year I would go with Edge/Ciampa or Edge/Cena again and if Cena isn't around go Orton/Dream. For Day 1 & 2 if it becomes a 2 day event again then my card would look like this for Hollywood, I would go: Roman Reigns vs The Rock WWE Championship (RAW)- Drew McIntyre (c) vs AJ Styles (2021 Royal Rumble Match winner) WWE Universal Championship (Smackdown)- Seth Rollins (c) vs Edge Grudge Match- The Undertaker vs "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt John Cena vs Velveteen Dream Samoa Joe vs Kevin Owens (Grudge Match) WWE RAW Women's Championship- Ronda Rousey (c) vs Shayna Baszler WWE Smackdown Women's Championship- Rhea Ripley (c) vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte vs Sasha Banks vs Bayley vs Nia Jax Randy Orton vs Tommaso Ciampa WWE Intercontinental Championship- Daniel Bryan (c) vs Andrade

Only a matter of time before the fans turn on Becky. I mean she has had that title for so long but at the same time Becky has grown stale as The Man now that she has been champion for over a year.
