It's a waste of time like it always is when they try and do this and within a few months none of the draft changes will matter. I have never understood the appeal of the WWE Draft. MNR Monday Night Roll Call is what it was. |

If they want to do the draft over two days, then there are a few easy ways to increase the drama:
1 - Get rid of mixed brand draft pools. When the draft is on Smackdown then ONLY Smackdown talents are eligible to be drafted, same goes for RAW, only the pre-draft RAW Roster is up for grabs. Over the course of the Draft each brand can select up to 3 NXT talents, so if one brand chooses two on Smackdown, they would only be able to select one more on RAW.
2 - Once the show is over, NXT can use the secondary draft to recoup the talents they lost if they choose so. After that the remaining talents can be drafted to either brand.
3 - Instead of having people come out and make the announcements go back to when Vince and Ric Flair first did the draft and have the GM's go back and forth with the picks each round.
ie: Smackdown selects first and keeps the entire Bloodline. Raw comes back with saying that's a great pick, but you left open your biggest rising star in Jade Cargill, so I'll take her. etc.
By doing this you Guarantee that at least half of each roster is moving from one brand to the other and it will help further freshen up the feel of both shows. The Draft should also start on the Raw after Mania, this way you can use the NXT call ups as surprizes in the draft. What's the point of debuting a Bron Breakker on the Raw after Mania only to move him to Smackdown?
During the remainder of the year I'd say that Raw and Smackdown can also call up 1-2 NXT talents, and if they bring anyone else up during the year they have to compensate NXT by sending a talent back. This should help keep the catering crew someone busy as they could be sent back to NXT to try and repackage or rebuild themselves.

Why did they even do a draft? Because it’s generally been a ratings winner over the years. |

I'm supposed to believe that people signed to the same company either work on raw or smackdown. Wish my boss would come up and be like bro  the rest of them you work Fridays exclusively. |
