Not a good draft.. Not even a good presentation of the draft.

Cruiserweight division on Raw, let's draft Kalisto to Smackdown..

Baron Corbin before Cesaro?

Splitting up the Woman's division?

DRAFTING THE BIG SHOW... Some of these draft picks literally left the crowd dead silent..

No one's ever really gone.

Personally, the draft was good. Some head scratchers. I am disappointed at certain picks because certain guys would benefit better on one brand than where they're at.

As for who was called up, i felt they went with "Who's not gonna go any higher on the brand, but we see potential in" kind of way. I would have kept Alexa Bliss on NXT, as she could have been a great heel champion. Nia Jax was not going anywhere on NXT, she's not that bad in the ring, i felt she did good in her matches with Asuka and Bayley, so her getting called up doesn't bother me. I never liked Mojo but they see something in him so as long as he doesn't go higher than tag team with Ryder, i don't mind. I felt they should have given Alexas pick to Tye Dillinger, who i feel won't go any higher on NXT. As much as guys like Aries, Roode, Joe, Shinsuke deserve the draft picks more, there's still things for them to do on NXT.

I must say, just cause the NXT draft picks are done, does not mean they'll stay on NXT for long. I can see Bayley coming up on Sunday. I see Samoa Joe or Nakamura coming up after Summerslam, depending who is not NXT Champion by then.

I'm going to stay positive and not get my hopes up too high about this whole situation. I'm not gonna say "F*** WWE" because some things that i wanted to see didn't happen. If there's something on RAW or Smackdown I don't like or care about, there's always something else for me to watch. I'm not going to complain about something that hasn't happened. My life is too stressful as it is to stress over my hobby.

I'm not upset at the draft, I think they did okay. There's just so many questions still to be answered regarding titles etc. The only thing I'm confused about is that they didn't separate Zayn/Cesaro/Owens and put Kakisto on SD which makes no sense at all. Also the women's division on SD isn't strong enough at all. The NXT picks could have been better excluding Finn and AA.

We're more or less on consensus that these post-draft interviews aren't scripted right? Because I've got to say Alexa Bliss did fantastic in her interview (no stumbling, good flow, clear message).

I thought it was fun. A few things I would have done differently. If Raw gets the cruiser weights, they should have also got Kalisto. Also since Raw got the cruiser weights, Smackdown should have gotten the women's division. The tag team division went from being pretty strong to thin in both divisions. It seems Smackdown will focus more on tag teams since they got five decent teams. NXT still has a few good ones, the Revival is ready to come up, Authors of Pain are the monster team that will be needed on the main roster, I see them continuing their feud with American Alpha on the main roster.

The title situation is going to be a mess until the dust settles. i hope Smackdown adds a women's belt and a third tier TV or European title. I also hope guys like Dillenger, the revival, Blake and Murphy ect get called up to Smackdown seeing has how RAW has a huge roster compared to SDs and will only get bigger because of the cruiser weight division.
