WWE Draft 2019

Lord TSC · 12-10-2019 8:10am

Incredible.

Check out post 25 in this thread. It was a list of who was available on each night, and was from WWE.com.

They quite literally posted the list in order of when the people got drafted. They spoiled their own bloody show before it happened. Becky first, Roman second.

I’m sure they’ll shuffle it round by Monday (edit: they have, the offical list is now alphabetized) but it means it’s not hard to figure out who is going where in the second night of the draft.

Lord TSC · 12-10-2019 8:16am

Which would mean....

Seth to Smackdown
Brock to Raw
Charlotte to Smackdown
Titus to Raw
IC Champ Nakamura to Smackdown
Black to Raw
New Day as a trio on Smackdown
Daniel Bryan to Raw
Smackdown Woman’s champ Bayley stays on Smackdown
Harper to Raw
Rowan to Smackdown
Mix to Raw
Ali to Smackdown
Corbin to Raw
Elias to Smackdown
Raw Tag Champs Zigglee and Roode to Raw
Joe to Smackdown
Kabuki Warriors to Raw
Ruse to Smackdown
Cedric to Raw

And so on and so forth.

Even ignoring the spoiler list, Seth is 100% going to Smackdown.

Wyatt is gone there, and they aren't stopping that feud yet.

Well recently they haven’t been spilting up real life couples so not sure if they will put Seth to smackdown

That was when both shows were on USA though.
I think it'll be more to do with the title though. Since it's red he'll probably lose it if he's moving.

How come the WWE Champion wasn't drafted on Smackdown to even them out more. Like SD had Raw women's champ, US champ and SD Tag champs. Raw has WWE, Universal, Women's tag, Raw tag, SD women's and IC titles. I assume Truth will still be 24/7 champion by then as well

I think they are stopping it scheduled rematch regardless.

Look at it this way; they'd have to shift Lesnar/Valesquez to Raw, but Fox clearly want that angle on their show.

I imagine it will be another no contest in the fiend's favour.....but then what's the fiend going to do while Lesnar/Valesquez are champ. Feud with Roman because he ****s up Seth?

It's aload of bollox to sum it up. Arseholes don't know what they're doing.

Agent Coulson · 12-10-2019 5:38pm

So will the 24/7 title have to stay on a one of the Brands?

I would use this title as way of swapping wrestlers between brands if it's not a brand exclusive title.

Cesaro is now just a jobber to the stars.

Unless he just does what Finn did and head to NXT instead.

CastorTroy · 12-10-2019 6:45pm

Maybe Liv Morgan will get a match on Raw if she's drafted, then another 1 on Smackdown next year

GSPfan · 12-10-2019 6:58pm

It’s obvious that SD is now the A show so the biggest male talent seems to be going that direction but I’ve a feeling we will see Raw become the Womens show as Becky and Charlotte will be there and I’d bet you Ronda will be back at some stage.

I think the draft continues on Raw so I assume he & his yoga pants will appear on that draft.

t.singh1 · 14-10-2019 10:18am

Where did Dolph Ziggler end up?

Sean Ross Sapp hitting the nail on the head in response to more picks being made.

This does not make sense by way of WWE's own rules. Just say they signed. Continuity and following your own rules isn't hard. Stop treating viewers like dumbasses.

We are to believe that Raw and SD said "Cesaro? GABLE? LOL NO WAY. "

Notes from Meltzer

Carmella and R-Truth were broken up because USA wanted the 24/7 title (since it was their idea)- but since Carmella is dating Corey Graves, they had to put Carmella on Smackdown.
Paul Heyman got "all of his guys" (except Brock) and "Smackdown got the leftovers" (Dave's words).
Humberto Carillo is set to be groomed as the next generation Hispanic star.
Paul Heyman is very high on Buddy Murphy- more than anyone else, Dave assumed he would go to RAW for Heyman. He also mentioned Heyman really wanting Aleister Black.
The Miz going to Smackdown was a change, Dave speculates because of the leaks.
Eric Bischoff is high on Baron Corbin.
Luke Harper wasn't drafted. Dave doesn't know why, but mentions there were only storylines planned for Harper until the tag match at Hell in a Cell.
Dave doesn't know why they put Rey Mysterio on a separate brand to Cain Velasquez.
Dave was surprised Gable wasn't drafted to RAW.
AoP are going to be on RAW, despite not being drafted, per Meltzer.
Meltzer noted that RAW is loaded up with great workers who aren't over- so Heyman's goal is to now get these guys over (guys like Murphy, Alexander, Tozawa etc).
Meltzer says that they weren't intending to do another draft before the FOX move- the rosters for RAW and Smackdown were going to be what they were after the Superstar Shake-up in April. Says he doesn't know why that changed. Says it was most likely due to popping a rating, hence the minimal changes.

Agent Coulson · 15-10-2019 3:09pm

So is Paul E still going to manage advocate for Brock on Smackdown while writing and running RAW?

I wonder do they have to ask for consideration regarding this, or does it just happen

If the SD women's roster was stacked then surely it makes more sense to then put Carmella on Raw (just using as an example), and Carmella could advance her career doing so

Then if couples break up you've got the awkwardness of that also

CastorTroy · 15-10-2019 6:08pm

Have to wonder what people are at that it takes a while for the IC champ to be drafted. Surely if you want people to watch your show, you'll get as many belts on there as you can.

And even though Raw had an extra pick each round, Smackdown got the same number of superstars for most rounds by getting the 3 person New Day and other teams.
I do wonder about the logic. Like Nikki and Alexa were drafted separately but Roode and Ziggler are drafted as a team. Then Harper and Rowan are separated.

Then Smackdown have Mandy in their fancy opening credits, but don't draft her

PTH2009 · 15-10-2019 7:19pm

Raw has the better roster I think

J. Marston · 16-10-2019 1:44am

Raw drafted Alexa and Nikki and then trade them to Smackdown a few days later for "future picks"

ERG89 · 16-10-2019 2:02am

Jesus HHH looks to have aged 10 years since I seen him last :eek:

I imagine working with Vince takes more of a toll on your body worse than in ring competition ever would.

Must be those nxt ratings taking their toll.

Agent Coulson · 16-10-2019 1:21pm

So they split the team of Alex and Niki and lost a pick by picking them as individuals and then traded them back as a team.

WWE really don't give a fcuk.

SureYWouldntYa · 16-10-2019 1:25pm

If they don't care why should we

Frank O. Pinion · 16-10-2019 4:20pm

Some "free agents" have been drafted...

Raw
The IIconics
No Way José
Mojo Rawley
Sarah Logan

Smackdown
Cesaro
Luke Harper
Drake Maverick
Fire & Desire
Dana Brooke

Lithium93_ · 16-10-2019 4:39pm

All Triple H needs is the red scar over his eye, and he'll look just like Kratos from the God Of War games.

Agent Coulson · 16-10-2019 5:31pm

If the WWE released all those free agents would anyone actually notice?

Would notice Cesaro when he turns up elsewhere.

And they traded Nikki and Alexa in exchange for nothing?

J. Marston · 16-10-2019 5:53pm

I'd miss Dana and Peyton because......reasons.

PTH2009 · 16-10-2019 9:05pm

So is the draft even complete or is it still going on ???

Loughc · 16-10-2019 9:06pm

Hawkins and Ryder not drafted. They need to release both ASAP.

AEW would. Ceasro, Luke Harper... for sure a few like them would fit in great. Just Vince does not care for them.

Those guys are not far off 40 now. They've been around years & if Vince wanted to do something with them we'd have known it by now. Harper's weakness for Vince was not being able to do a Southern accent, which probably saved himself from doing a Beverley Hillbillies gimmick.
