“With The First Pick In The 2019 WWE Draft...”: 10/11/19 WWE SmackDown on FOX (Draft Edition)

A few notes about the draft

Meltzer from today's Observer Radio show:

• It's going to be people picking like a football draft. There will be reps picking for Fox and USA.
  
  
• It won't be authority figures because they don't want those right now.
  
  
• This could change, but the whole draft is done. They're likely not telling anyone where they will go, but they might tell some of the talent higher on the card.

LOL @ The Match Determining Who Picks First For “Their Brand”

So If Roman Wins SD Can Draft Rollins? And Then RAW Can Pick Roman With The Second Pick?

 

[Chris Cool]

Seth and Roman not in the draft?

 

[Jmare007]

FOX executives are gonna trade Kofi for Fandango, Curt Hawkins and a 2021 seventh round pick

They'll also probably gonna turn down USA's package offer for The Fiend

Seth and Roman not in the draft?

Probably gonna be the opening match and the brand that wins ends up picking one of them.

 

[JerseyBoy23]

It does fit, I just wonder who came up with the idea in the first place.

Why not Brock? That would make more sense.

All this celebrity involvement sounds incredibly compelling.
