It's time to shake things up again, it's draft time! Night One took place on Friday Night SmackDown. Triple H began proceedings by going through the rules, also mentioning NXT superstars were eligible. The Game announced the first round..
The Round One Draft Picks
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa with Paul Heyman SmackDown
Cody Rhodes - RAW
RAW Women's Champion - Bianca Belair - SmackDown
Becky Lynch - RAW
Roman and Cody being drafted number one for their respective brands is a good thing, as that will hopefully quieten down the people who are still talking about the story not being finished between the two, which may have to wait until WrestleMania 40. Bianca being drafted to Friday nights means Rhea will be going to Monday nights, with the titles being swapped, similar to what we saw between Charlotte and Becky last time, speaking of Becky, she remains on RAW. The Man will look to get revenge on the legendary Trish Stratus.
Round Two Draft Picks - announced by Rob Van Dam & Michael Hayes
The Street Profits - SmackDown
Imperium - RAW
Edge - SmackDown
Matt Riddle - RAW
Like Bianca, the Street Profits return to Friday nights, meaning the rumoured split between Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins is on hold, Imperium will be making the move to RAW including the Intercontinental Championship, currently held by Gunther, logic states Austin Theory will be moving to SmackDown on Night Two of the draft, on this day, I see clearly, Edge is on the blue brand, let's see what is in store for the Hall of Famer. Matt Riddle remains on RAW.
Round Three Draft Picks - announced by JBL & Teddy Long
Bobby Lashley SmackDown
Drew McIntyre - RAW
The OC - SmackDown
The Miz - RAW
SmackDown has, excuse the pun, an almighty pick, Bobby Lashley will set his sights on Roman Reigns in the future, Drew McIntyre will target a fresh start on RAW in a bid to become the new World Heavyweight Champion, The OC were drafted to SmackDown, it was phenomenal to see the return of AJ Styles, the group look set to feud with the Viking Raiders. Miz staying on Monday Nights is......Awesome!
Round Four Draft Picks - announced by Shawn Michaels & Road Dogg Jesse James
Damage CTRL - SmackDown
Shinsuke Nakamura - RAW
Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn - SmackDown
Indi Hartwell - RAW
Damage CTRL were drafted to SmackDown as a collective, Bayley being on the same brand as Michael Cole will bring back hilarious memories and moments of the jokes and banter they shared during the pandemic era, Shinsuke Nakamura will be going to RAW, a match in between him and Gunther will be fantastic to see, if it were to happen, but first he must deal with Karrion Kross on SmackDown next week. Tick-Tock.
Congratulations to the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn and NXT Women's Champion Indi Hartwell for their main roster call ups.
More draft picks will be announced on SmackDown LowDown and via WWE's social media, the content on this website will resume with night two of the draft on Monday Night RAW.
