A week or two after Wrestlemania always felt like the best time to do a draft. Really sets the feeling of it being a new season after Wrestlemania being the big finale event.
So they do it in the fall instead because... reasons.

A smart company might say "Jesus, for the first time in 20 years we could plan stuff that is dependent upon the talent's abilities and not the immediate reaction."
"Could take an honest evaluation and build the people with a following and maybe take some chances on the out there prospects"
"Anyone we aren't crazy about who we think could use a crazy gimmick? Lets go!"
"The stories seem to be doing ok. Can we look at that long term?"

What’s the last draft moment that y’all can actually remember? Off the top of my head Finn Balor going 1 is to me. What was that, 3 drafts ago? Lol

Why should we care about the rules WWE makes if they just change them on the fly? The Draft has no value now after they have retconned it so many times.

What's the new rule again called? The four times per year thing? Before that was the Wild One Roulette. Oh hell no, this is too stupid even for me!!!

Start fresh and do it all over again. "IT'S A NEW ERA IN WWE!" will be said 20 times as they don't change anything and go back to the same old thing 2 weeks later.

It's a new era... same as the last new era... same as the last new era... just like the last new era... and that other new era... and the one before that...

Like, I get it, you need to change things up every so often so that feuds feel fresh or even older feuds can have that extra spice depending on the circumstance. Fine. But when people here are wondering whether people have used either their allocated 4 shows a year, taken advantage of the Wildcard rule or got themselves traded to a different brand, you’re either really bad at keeping to your ideas or you’re throwing stuff against the wall at the rate of a toddler having a tantrum.

Does anyone have any clue who's on what show right now anyway? this is what I came to post. like, it's not even going to matter in the slightest to anyone other than Vince and whatever real life couple he tries to split up.

CURSE YOU COVID!”

The month before survivor series when everyone’s on every show is a terrible time to do it as it completely undermines the point in it. The first show of each brand after the draft should be about hammering home who the new additions to each roster are. I'd just end Survivor Series to be honest. The should actually tie the draft in with Survivor Series having both brands battle for top draft picks instead of some empty platitude like "brand supremacy." But that would be logical and well you know...

October: Draft! See what brands WWE superstars end up on! No backsies!
November: Wild card rule! Trades! Champions can appear on both brands! NXT callups! Superstar shakeup! Vince just forgets!

But that would would be logical and well you know... How about we end Brand Supremacy all together because there's always someone who shits on the concept(ie. Heyman or Corbin) and makes it look like the joke it is. Survivor Series is the Ultimate in Team Competition and awesome face and heel teams.

Right now if you named 10 wrestlers I'd manage to get below 50% correct even if we tossed NXT out

So HHH just teased that some Raw and Smackdown stars will end up in NXT because “a fresh coat of paint” is always good, etc. and implied gimmick changes and everything.
So who do we think is going to the black and gold brand? I think Shorty G has to be right at the top of that list. Dude was a total stud in NXT as Gable, he already has baked in history there and rebranding him under his original name and shooting for the NA title seems like a good idea. Otherwise rebrand him and send him to Raw so he can compete in Raw Underground.

Kevin Owens could be a big name there if they want to swap Balor back to Raw or Smackdown, though I doubt Vince would want KO there long-term.
