I waited and I saw. So let me get this straight. Raw wasted a whole pick by drafting Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss separately to Raw, even though they are a tag team, and a tag team was supposed to count as one. And now...they ended up trading them back to Smackdown. wE wAnT a SpOrTs-LiKe PrEsEnTaTiOn WWE: does things like that nOt LiKe ThAt So what? They made kayfabe moves using sports-like explanations to cover their asses over a clear oversight. Actual sports franchises make stupid, stupid, stupid moves that require immediate correction all the time. Anyone still following the most hated franchise in the NFL could tell you all about Antonio Brown. I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears, but have you considered just...shutting off for two to three hours and trying to enjoy what they give you without over examining every little detail like some wannabe Meltzer EDIT: Alvarez (since you basically just recited his tweet) apprentice? Barring that...have you tried just...not watching? I mean, it seems to leave you pretty flustered. Why would you partake in something you don't like if nobody was forcing your hand? Yeah that's not what happened here. There was no logic or explanation to this at all.

The draft was pretty disappointing, seemed like they were trying too hard to make it 'sporty', so it was a mess in most other places...
The 'War Rooms' were embarrassing, they were celebrating like they just won the lottery for receiving a pick that they got to choose?
Seriously what was the point of this - Drafting Alexa & Nikki separate, then trading them to Smackdown as a team? Huh?
All that i really cared about from this draft is Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy being treated like big deals.
Also that Luke Harper & Cesaro are on Smackdown, which technically wasn't even part of the draft so can you count that?
Hope they go back to the old 07/08/09/10/11 format, where it's brand vs brand matches for draft picks with the 'random' selector screen for who gets drafted. At least this way it adds an element of surprise and you know everyone who gets drafted is swapping brands.

I dont get it. Are we mad that the raw womens champion is on raw? Because why the actual literal would the raw womens champion be on smackdown? I think we complain just to complain.

The draft served it purpose and that was to end the wildcard rule. Was it perfect, nope. Is it the end of the world, nope. Not everything has to be dissected.

I think the question there is why were they in the pool to begin with if no one was going to shake things up by sniping one.

They need to start new feuds and storylines that make people tune in the next week. It would help to narrow down the writing team. You don't need fifty people.

I have no issues with the draft this year, I think the reason why Bliss and Cross were traded to SmackDown was for The Fiend to be sent to Raw.

You guys are delusional if you thought that draft was good let alone fine, nothing really changed other than Randy Orton going to Raw. Smackdown lost some of their best mid-carders. Plus the whole draft was spoiled anyways with someone leaking it online. Yeah, you're right... everyone with a different opinion other than mine are delusional! We should all think the same dammit!! Come on man that draft was as bad as Finn Balor's Dinosaur tattoo.

Why is everyone making fun of his tattoo? Is that the one on his hand or arm? I haven’t really gotten a good look at either of them.

If the goal was to set up a "legit" competitive atmosphere amongst the brands, a network could have nabbed the second champion that lies on the same tier (both World, tag, or midcard champions) then hold out until the other network coughed up a lucrative trade. Ya know, how actual sports org's do things...

An interesting twist would have been Seth Rollins being picked for Smackdown then changing the Universal belt from red to blue. Surprise us I dare to ask.

Not even a month into the new brand split and already Brock is jumping ship and where doing the whole "Brand Invasion Angle" with people jumping around and fight on different brands.WWE just can't help themselfs and that's why the brand split is always been a waste and stupid.

I really do love NXT being seen as a third brand that is the land of establishing or remaking superstars.
