This is the most definite way to know Vince is no way in charge again if tag teams and factions won’t be broken up. That was one of Vince’s favorite things to do

Anyway, for NXT Call ups I’m predicting:
Ilja Dragunov (duh)
Carmelo Hayes (duh)
Dijak
Joe Gacy
Gallus
Baron Corbin (if he counts)
Thinking all the women stay, but if someone did get called up it’d be Lyra Valkyria

If Champions can't be drafted does that leave Smackdown with no world champion?

Jade and Bron must have signed really short term terms with Aldis.

I hate how they do the draft the past few years, it sucks the excitement of people moving brands when most of the picks are “Smackdown drafts this current Smackdown wrestler!”. At least they won’t be doing Champions as well this year.
If I were in charge I’d have it so that each round the GM gets a secret pool of, say, six eligible superstars to choose from. That way the draft pick gets a boost because they’ve been the chosen one to move, but no-one has to look inferior by not being picked. You can throw in some little gimmicks like a GM gets to block a draft pick or stuff like that.

Question is which champion/'s lose their title before the lock and switch brands.
Becky seem's the strongest contender here for it and I could see both sets of tag teams losing their titles more so Theory and Waller.

Bronson Reed looks like he's taking a dump and Jade has that "Girl, please..." look to her.
And what the hell is up with Ellering??

Corbin gets drafted to SD him & Bron beat Theory & Waller for the tag titles on Friday |

I hope we don't see people drafted to the shows they're already on because that's just pointless. The implication is that, as the draft starts, everyone's existing brand contract is null and void and thus become free agents. If they ever actually SAY this on TV, then this permanently stops being an issue. |

Yeah it’s a completely different concept from the “drafts” where the picks were essentially only “stealing” talent from the other show to yours. |

If they’re serious about NXT becoming a third brand rather than developmental when they move to The CW, then I wouldn’t be shocked if they draft a really big name from the main roster — someone like Randy Orton immediately came to mind as someone who could be a solid veteran leader for the rookies in NXT who still has plenty of cache as an in-ring performer to put eyes on the show.
