Like the NFL draft?
Yeah
Do the draft and do a whole like roll out vignette for the new/switched rosters. Change the theme songs for each show. Would say change the set but we know that aint gonna happen

This is why Woods is beefing with Gunther IMO. Feel like he’s going to whoop the shyt out of him and then Big E comes in for the save and then starts feuding with GuntherWord from the sheets is that Big E might be on SmackDown!
I Think The Only Logical Choice For New Champion Is Seth Or Bobby
And I Think Seth Wins Out Based On Having The Better Matches And Bigger Crowd Reactions
Cody Would Be A Mistake
Brock Ain’t Working Full Time
Omos & Theory Aren’t Ready
Randy Is Out
Riddle Doesn’t Deserve It
Big E Would Have To Have A Build For It
Balor Would Be Boring
Sami & Kev Are Tag Champs
I Suppose 1 Last Run For Edge Wouldn’t Be Horrible

I Think They’re Coming To The Main Roster lol I’m Not Mad At It I Think They Deserve It
To Me They’re Like The Male Version Of The IICONICS
Seth's also been apparently unhappy with how he's been used I guess he thinks he should be world champion so yeah give the junior world belt to him so he can stfu
They also gotta break up Bayley, Iyo, Dakota. The names on paper you'd think you'd get good shyt but they clearly have nothing and Bayley's been repeatedly fed to Bianca, Becky, Rhea, old Lita it's gonna take awhile to rehab

VOTE!!!
Does anyone remember the one year where they treated the draft like an actual draft with backstage interviews and shyt running simultaneously on the WWE Network? That was piff.
