SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, April 28th 2023: The WWE Draft Begins + Title match

[Kross Rhodes]

WWE actually switched up the rosters crazy today

Was there even a concrete roster before this?

 

[King Kota]

Also now we can get Shinsuke/Gunther

 

[Chris]

Was there even a concrete roster before this?

Definitely not but a lot of guys that moved tonight actually had been mostly only appearing on their brands. It wasn't like they only "switched" the ones that had been on both shows

 

[Chris]

It def feels like a legit shakeup right now, just to be seen how long they stick with it

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Hopefully this means the rumors of their demise were greatly exaggerated.

 

[Deezy]

Sami must've did some crunches tonight, feeling confident shirtless.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I haven’t seen the full results yet, but SD feeling like my brand thus far.

 

[Sabretooth]

Was there even a concrete roster before this?

No but there still was rosters lol and a lot of stars switched brands

 

[Chris]

SD def has more starpower, I like some of the moves to Raw tho like Imperium and Drew quite a lot

 

[Chris]

Shinsuke too

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Thinking they stack Raw good on Monday

Thinking they stack Raw good on Monday

They got 3 hours to fill, I'm more nervous about a weak Raw than a weak Smacdown

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Cause when they showed the Raw picks for tonight, it really showed how they lacked tonight. Like they had good picks. But damn, Smackdown definitely came out better

 

[Chris]

Though you also gotta factor in Roman and Edge not being there every week on SmackDown too

 

[Chris]

Smart to not have the rosters go into effect until the Raw after too so you can blowoff feuds on SmackDown next week lol
