I had a thought about this earlier. Since we do have the "brand split" (aka SmackDown vs who?.. I mean Raw), the outcome of the matches at Wrestlemania 33 will likely play a factor in them/with them. What I mean is that they can have so-and-so lose and be drafted to the other show for a chance at a different title. I know it is too soon to tell but I have a feeling we may see some odd wins/losses coming out of WM 33. The draft isn't until July so we have Payback, Backlash, and Extreme Rules to get through before then. This is assuming they do it prior to Money in the Bank again like last year. We also have to consider some possibilities of big names coming up from NXT as well.

Do you think an upset victory at WM 33 will tie in with a bigger name being move around to suit a different title holder?

I'm neutral when it comes to "annual drafts" and "not annual drafts", but I feel the bigger names will go to Raw because they suck at making stars while people with potential will go to Smackdown since they're the kings of making people relevant. Sure, it would slap Smackdown in the face, but this is WWE we're talking about

From what I've read...title holders cannot be drafted from their brands...
RAW & SmackDown will each get a certain number of picks from the opposite brand and NXT...

I'm hoping for: Rusev, Emma, Cesaro, Asuka & Tye Dillinger to end up on SmackDown...

Don't be surprised if Styles ends up on RAW because of the building tension with management...
plus rumor is Vince wants him on RAW.

Either way...the draft will really help freshen things up...

Well it was good while it lasted.

Cass, Enzo, Nakamura, Strowman, Zayn, Cesaro, The shining stars, Big E (yeah, the new day will be splitted), Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin (when he comes back), Tye Dillinger & Sasha Banks to SL

Ambrose, Miz, Styles, Wyatt, Ziggler, Rhyno & Slater, Fandango(goodbye breezango), Kalisto (to join the cruiserweights), Mojo, Crews, The Authors of Pain, Mickie James & Asuka to RAW

These are my predictions/hopes for the summer draft ...
That's the only way to push people like Cesaro, Zayn or Nakamura to the top

I think if KO, JOE, SYTLES, LESNAR and ROLLINS are on one show no matter what show that is = wrestling gold.....I just can't step behind The Big Dog again his spear is amazing but that's all I like about him.

Oh yeah, I sometimes forget that there's a draft coming. Unfortunately that means the A show, smackdown, will have a change.

We can only hope that it keeps up its good work. I hope they don't swap creative teams either. My god that would be devastating.

I can definitely see AJ Styles on RAW, but it won't matter. They need to evaluate their rosters on some real shit and stop with the "egocentric booking."

Like why would Lesnar and Goldberg even continue with the WWE?? Why?? They are no Shawn Michaels and Undertaker. Taker and HBK's promos were believable, exciting and did exactly what promos should do, build up amazing matches, and when HBK and Taker met, it was amazing! Lesnar and Goldberg is just flaming crap on a stick.

With that little rant said, it's clear that the WWE does not give a solid fuck about whose relevant, upcoming, or exciting to watch. They just do what the fuck they want to do. It's not so much about who they're going to gain, it needs to be about who they gotta lose. Swagger left so that's a start.

I really want to see Charlotte vs Alexa Bliss. The size difference is hard to work around, but I think Alexa has the attitude and heel power to pull it off.

Also Reigns just isn't working in Raw. No matter what they do they are not getting him over. Maybe it's time to try something new with him.

I would imagine this means one of them lose at WM 33 and then get moved. I wouldn't mind seeing them on the same show either. I think it would be a good feud but one will have to turn face.

I guess I didn't really think that through. I think Charlotte could pull off a gradual face turn. I don't know that I would like a babyface Alexa Bliss. The petite cutesie persona would be the obvious for her and that would bore me real quick.

Yup, it would be like AJ Lee when she was a face. It was boring. Charlotte would do a good face in that she becomes "humbled" and all that.
