WWE.com reveals draft rules- Raw to get first pick and more

[Scholar]

• Tag Teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team

What stupid ass idiot would take 1 over 2?

• Six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster

Logically speaking they're retarded if they don't take Finn, Nakamura, Joe, AA, Revival, Asuka

Would set up a perfect underdog story for. Superstar

 

[LastManStanding]

and with the first pick in the 2016 Raw/SmackDown draft, Raw selects ...

Spoiler

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

3 then 2 So its like

Raw - Cena, Rollins, Styles
Smackdown - Reigns, Brock
Raw - Owens, Ambrose, Wyatt
Smackdown - Cesaro, Orton
Raw - New Day, Rusev, Jericho

Smack down doesn't stand a chance lol

 

[TheGodling]

Six picks from NXT? Bayley, American Alpha, Finn Bálor, Tye Dillinger and...?

Nia Jax.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

tons of room for fukkery. Shane gets out there around pick 10 or 11 and it's "and with the 11th pick, Smackdown! selects ALEJANDRO SAENZ"

Crowd goes silent.

Booker is looking around confused like "wut da hale? "

and then Mauro chimes in and says this is a real reach at this spot but tries to sell it as maybe Shane stashes him overseas in Chile for two years and by 2018 he'll have some value out of him

Shane going full masai ujiri would be hilarious

 

[HipHopStan]

Well storyline wise you'd think Steph would pick Rollins as #1 overall.

She'll pick Brock, much to the shock of Rollins. Kind of like how Vince picked The Rock as his first round pick, much to Kurt Angle shock and disgust.

 

[Spyro]

Is Brock still scheduled to show up on Tuesday night?

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Maryse is back?

 

[R=G]

Raw gets the first 3 picks..that means Smackdown kicks off with Stephanie and her bull $hit. Yuck. She'll be picking Cena or Reigns first.

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Steph gonna pick Trips first and New Day gonna get broke up by her for more heat

 

[El Cocodrilo]

Steph gonna pick Trips first and New Day gonna get broke up by her for more heat

Then when they come up to her backstage to protest, she's just gonna slap Big E across the face, put him in a handicap match against Big Show and Demon Kane and ban Woods and Kofi from ringside.

Best for Business 101

I remember a few years back, some team drafted some unknown Brazilian player. The international scout on ESPN said something like he was 5 years away from being 5 years away from being Kevin Durant

WWE draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was looking back at the drafts from the past, and I couldn't help but notice that when the first one happened in 2002, Smackdown got the bulk of wrestlers while RAW got the bulk of entertainers.
HHH totally killed Smackdown's great 2002-early 2004 run in that 2004 draft.
