Very interesting that Roman and Solo are together as "The Bloodline" but the Usos aren't included and can be drafted separately

As is the Judgement Day and Rhea. Guess I'm a little confused, with pretty much all the pairings together (and yes I realize this is a listing from a wrestling "news" source) does that mean no teams can be separated? I hope not, that is usually half of the fun of these drafts.

I believe the one time New Day was split (or well Big E was split from them) they was listed together. So I believe teams can be drafted together but also if say whoever’s picking for the shows(I assume “the networks) wants like Tez but not Dawkins, they could do that. But if they wanted both they could.

Fair enough, and yeah I assumed that since this was just from site and what not it isn't like some official site. Just weird how they listed it. Also odd your example was the Street Prophets cause I fully expect them to be one of the teams to be separated this time around.

I wouldn't be mad if Breakker dropped everything he's doing on NXT and joined Smackdown as a babyface. But I'd also like to see him and Cora as a couple.

You might be right but I think that year was the time they didn't release the pools in advance so we didn't know who tf was eligible each night lol

Haven't they said that tag teams aren't safe? Maybe they were just trying to signify the Usos as a tag team? Though it'd only benefit one of them if they broke them up. Be funny to have Jey Roman and Solo on one show. Without having to worry about his brother what would go down?
