It just won't feel meaningful unless they enforce a brand split but they're also hot right now partly because big stars can appear on shows as needed. So I'm curious to see what they do.

It is 2002. WWE tries to do a brand split. It is 2016. WWE tries to do a brand split. It is 2023. WWE tries to do a brand split. Watchmen association or otherwise, I feel this to my soul. (also any Philip Glass reference on FAN will earn an automatic like from me)

I think we’re gonna see some serious NXT drafts.
Roderick Strong Cameron Grimes Indus Sher with Jinder Zoey Stark Pretty Deadly Elektra Lopez Apollo Crews Bron Breakker
All of these talents have longggg outgrown their time in NXT. Most of them aren’t even on regular NXT TV because of it. These 10 should move up for the draft.
(I’d also like Tyler abate to move up, but I’m guessing they’ll keep him around a little longer since they’re touring around for non-PC PLE’s)

Might be a way to split the titles at least. If one show has one title then the MITB can only cash in on one of them They're not splitting the titles any time soon. Everyone's gotta stop thinking they are.

I have a sliver of hope they introduce a new world title for RAW. Maybe something with the Endeavor thing? Give me a RAW title, whatever

Okay cool. Stick to the rosters and don't have people show up on the other show ever.

No wonder they split Tatum Paxley from Ivy Nile. Now Tatum can go to whichever show Aliyah ends up on and they can form their very own super duo. It'll be like sexy Batman and Robin!

the wording Trips used ("every superstar is eligible") seems to suggest that NXT roster members will be included. Roman gets drafted to NXT

Everyone's gotta stop thinking they are. That was the plan for Mania if Rock signed on to face Roman (creating a new Raw title for Cody to fight Rollins or Drew), so I don’t see it as having no chance to happen.

My thoughts exactly. I would be more excited if it was the WWE Draft Beer 2023 that was announced.

Draft is pointless even if they enforce it for 8 months of the year. Just put people on tv and write good stories for them.

Can't wait to see who goes to RAW and who goes to Smackdown and how much it doesn't matter because the world and tag belts are unified and half the roster appears on either show anyway.

They get slight marks for not doing it literal weeks before they ask us to invest in a cross-promotional PPV where guys were on the other team a couple of shows back.
Benefits of keeping expectations low, kids.

Image the WWE insults our intelligence like this:
Smackdown selects - WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns Raw selects - WWE Champion Roman Reigns
