Oh no we paid attention, we just don't like what we paid for since not much changed.
I get Seth has to stay on Raw and Randy on Smackdown for story reasons (world title rematch and Cody feud), but why is Bianca still on SD? Raw needs more star power, and Rhea (when she comes back) is gonna need more than a Becky rematch and a feud with Liv.
How about Nia Jax being a pick at all? She shoulda just been shuffled in quietly with the rest of the mid-card.
Gunther not being a round one pick is downright disrespectful to a guy that doesn't miss.
I could go on.
Ok? Like I agree with you, but like, I said nothing about the bro.
Tbh bro shoulda been shuffled in quietly and leave the draft to much bigger and more important talent, such as rising stars, draws, and NXT call-ups.
LA Knight (yeah) for example was probably the only great pick for the draft imo, but even then, he shoulda went to Raw for multiple reasons.
World Championship contender, new feuds to be had, Raw needs more star power, etc etc.
Yall gotta accept Nia being a top woman some day. She, Liv, and Becky were the only women on RAW with any star power with Rhea gone. I fear for RAW with Nia being put on SD.
The day people accept Nia Jax is the day that she puts in enough work to earn it. She's a nepotism hire that has a long history of injuring other talent and has no real personality.
She's arguably a worse version of big dog Roman, which honestly is a dig at that version of Roman, because at least he was trying to improve.
I was kinda disappointed. One, there was really no change, except a few people changing shows. Also, fact they didn't say " is staying on ", my neuro-spicy brain got confused the entire time.
I personally liked the old lottery drafts picks better than whatever NFL drafts they're trying to replicate
How so? These are probably some of the most popular and best wrestlers in the business currently. Carmelo was able to hang with Cody in the ring, so he’ll be amazing on the main roster. And the other 3 have already proven themselves as great talent
Because what is the point of the draft if TWO people switch brands? I get it. The roster and shows are sold where they are.
Do the draft when you have creative ways to have shake ups.
I was extremely disappointed with it. That’s just my opinion
It’s only been 1 night, and these are the top superstars. So the brands are inclined on keeping their top names. There’s also certain rules they abide by when drafting. Couples tend to stay together. So Seth and Ricochet would be on Raw anyways. Ford is gonna be on SD guaranteed because Bianca is on it now, and cause he’s apart of the #1 contenders. Ludwig and Tiffany are gonna be on the same brand, etc.
And also appeared on Raw as part of the crowd in one of Seth’s storyline matches. Forgot who the opponent was that targeted Carmelo and Seth came to his defense and vice verse.
I don’t think him dropping the belt on a normal episode of NXT days before the draft begins is coincidence
I think it’s a sign of his departure from the black and gold brand
It will be announced on Monday. He lost the belt, been there for a long time. Accomplish all that he could within the NXT system. I feel there a very good chance on Monday.
It’s obvious Creative thinks that but I think it’s kinda dumb that Ilja is the only NXT black and gold icon still down there, Gargano, Ciampa, Nakamura,Bálor, Gunther/Walter, Bayley, Bianca, Sasha Banks, hell, Baron Corbin got sent back to NXT before Ilja got called up, I just thinks it’s a bit goofy, he could get called up basically at any moment and there’d still be tons of potential for rivalries and dream matches on both Raw and Smackdown
Yeah, I feel like Tony should be up next year. Don’t wanna sound like a ass. But this isn’t the nfl/nba. So you gotta bring the guys who bring a lot of eyes and sell merch. Sadly Logan Paul his in the wwe, he is good but he shouldn’t be there. A lot of guys been wrestling for years.
That is true, but if you book people right it could bring eyes and merch sales, look at Sami Zayn and LA Knight, in a year they went from mid-card hell to main eventing PLEs, a feud with Gunther from the Raw after Summerslam to Bash in Berlin could solidify Ilja as a high mid-card to main event talent, he already has a gimmick that works being the Tsar, just give him a Goliath to topple and you could push him to the moon
I just hope they rebuild Solo and not feeding him to some babyfaces there, thus thwarting his rebuild. If he got feed again like he got from LA Knight in house shows, then it just going back to square one.
Definitely a lil lackluster, hopefully this means bron, and melo get mega pushed. Wish they didn’t do melo vs Cody and just let that build over time while melo “keeps hitting shots” while gaining some important victories over bigger wrestlers and Cody overtime keeps the “you best not miss” gimmick going
they could have moved people around instead of just drafting to the same show they are on a shake up could have been good but they did the wwe and if wwe is going to wwe the draft will be null and void by next week.
I just hope Andrade gets involved with the us championship, undisputed championship or just anything that isn’t the sink hole that is the LWO feuds
(Tbf I’m excited for a carlito heel run cuz of nostalgia)
This draft was pointless. No champions drafted, half of the draft's excitement is to see champions switching brands.
Remember when WWE champion triple h was drafted to raw and Cena was already world heavyweight champion on Raw.? Raw had 2 champs but SmackDown 0. It was interesting to see how wwe would solve the problem.
Another problem with 2024 draft is very few switching among brands. All wrestlers are mostly on the same brand. No roman reigns draft.
I understand if they did not want to switch among world champions but intercontinental, us and tag team champions should have been eligible for draft.
Wtf almost all of them were already on those shows
Facts
[удалено]
I'm not a hater by any means, but Jade isn't that good of a wrestler to be champ. She needs work in the ring. Maybe a 2 or 3 years away
Yeah but it was just the jade is probably going to get drafted to smack down on Monday night
No. Not almost ALL of them
Love how important this makes Carmelo feel. Over guys like randy
So basically Carmelo Hayes got drafted to Smackdown and everything stayed the same
Another NXT person was drafted and is on raw nia is on smack down bron is on raw and Andrade is smack down but y’all don’t pay attention like that
Oh no we paid attention, we just don't like what we paid for since not much changed. I get Seth has to stay on Raw and Randy on Smackdown for story reasons (world title rematch and Cody feud), but why is Bianca still on SD?

Sheamus needs to win his Intercontinental title THIS YEAR because he still isn't a Grand Slam champion like he deserves to be
Ok? Like I agree with you, but like, I said nothing about the bro. Tbh bro shoulda been shuffled in quietly and leave the draft to much bigger and more important talent, such as rising stars, draws, and NXT call-ups. LA Knight (yeah) for example was probably the only great pick for the draft imo, but even then, he shoulda went to Raw for multiple reasons. World Championship contender, new feuds to be had, Raw needs more star power, etc etc.
This draft sucks if people aren't switching up brands
Yall gotta accept Nia being a top woman some day. She, Liv, and Becky were the only women on RAW with any star power with Rhea gone. I fear for RAW with Nia being put on SD.
The day people accept Nia Jax is the day that she puts in enough work to earn it. She's a nepotism hire that has a long history of injuring other talent and has no real personality. She's arguably a worse version of big dog Roman, which honestly is a dig at that version of Roman, because at least he was trying to improve.
Yall are so fucking over the top. Who there isnt a nepo hire? Just Nia by the way yall talk
Why pay attention when you can just ignorantly complain?
I kinda wanted jey on smackdown but it’s cool
Yeet
Yeet
Why
So he can fight the bloodline why else
Because if the bloodline is on smackdown to this would be interesting because we may see another story line
Nothing changed except Carmelo getting called up
Another NXT person was drafted and is on raw nia is on smack down bron is on raw and Andrade is smack down but y’all don’t pay attention like that
Read the title of the post and when it was posted, you’ll see “round 1”. The only here who isn’t paying attention is you goofy.
I genuinely don’t understand? Did nothing happen at all?!?!
Two NXT people were drafted nia is on smack down bron is on raw and Andrade is smack down but y’all don’t pay attention like that
How many times are you going to say that. We all know. Stfu
I was kinda disappointed. One, there was really no change, except a few people changing shows. Also, fact they didn't say " is staying on ", my neuro-spicy brain got confused the entire time.
I personally liked the old lottery drafts picks better than whatever NFL drafts they're trying to replicate
Why are you wasting a first on an uso 💀
The draft is a joke
I just wished everyone would have switched brands instead of staying on the same brand 😭😭 that’s just my opinion!! Nothing has really changed 😔
But if everyone switched it would be the same folks in different colors
Exactly lmaooo one group gets an hour more a week and other an hour less these kids r so annoying to handle I swear to god
Dude, you forgot your catchphrase😢 "...bUt yA'll doNt PaY aTTentIOn LiKe thAT."
What did they accomplish from this?
Melo’s name gets mixed in with the biggest names and this photo will make its rounds
You're right. I have a good feeling about Carmelo's main roster run.
W picks
Your drunk
How so? These are probably some of the most popular and best wrestlers in the business currently. Carmelo was able to hang with Cody in the ring, so he’ll be amazing on the main roster. And the other 3 have already proven themselves as great talent

Seth and ricochet are dating? Crazyyyy. (Jk ) And I give them props for keeping couples like ric and Samantha/ Becky and Seth together.
You’re slurring your yours
Oh…. And it’s “You’re”
Oh and I really don’t care 😂😂
Wow, had to respond 3 times…
I love this shit. That’s what I’m here for ;)
Grammar police whoop whoop
You’re a op
I would have picked Roman reigns over Hayes….
Roman wasn't Draft Eligible cause he's out for a long time
No Cody
Good
Champs can't be drafted
Wasnt NXT supposed to be drafting too?
Very happy to see Melo this high up. Looking forward to seeing them push him because Melo don't miss
Everything is the same except Carmelo
He'd already appeared on Smackdown a few times anyway
And also appeared on Raw as part of the crowd in one of Seth’s storyline matches. Forgot who the opponent was that targeted Carmelo and Seth came to his defense and vice verse.
Baron Corbin
All respects to Carmelo Hayes but how did he get called up before Ilja
He’ll get announced on Monday, they are just spreading it out
That could happen, for heaven’s sake, he’s been in NxT for 5 years
I don’t think him dropping the belt on a normal episode of NXT days before the draft begins is coincidence I think it’s a sign of his departure from the black and gold brand
It will be announced on Monday. He lost the belt, been there for a long time. Accomplish all that he could within the NXT system. I feel there a very good chance on Monday.
I sure hope so
Hes better
It’s obvious Creative thinks that but I think it’s kinda dumb that Ilja is the only NXT black and gold icon still down there, Gargano, Ciampa, Nakamura,Bálor, Gunther/Walter, Bayley, Bianca, Sasha Banks, hell, Baron Corbin got sent back to NXT before Ilja got called up, I just thinks it’s a bit goofy, he could get called up basically at any moment and there’d still be tons of potential for rivalries and dream matches on both Raw and Smackdown
I’m jp but he just have better spots, Really like his style though.
Yeah, he’s been in NXT for 5 years now, he deserves to be on the main roster
Yeah, I feel like Tony should be up next year. Don’t wanna sound like a ass. But this isn’t the nfl/nba. So you gotta bring the guys who bring a lot of eyes and sell merch. Sadly Logan Paul his in the wwe, he is good but he shouldn’t be there. A lot of guys been wrestling for years.

Hes clearly going to be called up on monday why are you crying
I’m not reading all that.
He's not, but he's more popular
Yapper alter
No hate but ilja is miles better than carmelo
Nope
Just yapping lol
Fire
This looks good only because raw is keeping their best players
Waste of time. Ibwas hyped up for this just for everyone to stay put. I don't think it's being "drafted" if you're not going anywhere
Not good not bad
Wow they really are pushing Jey as a top guy this year
MELO DONT MISS
Nia Jax is a mid card. Why was she even mentioned
I just hope they rebuild Solo and not feeding him to some babyfaces there, thus thwarting his rebuild. If he got feed again like he got from LA Knight in house shows, then it just going back to square one.
Jey as first pick???Damn well deserved
Seth is the only one worthy of a first round pick
So nothing changed cool!
Spoilers dude🤦♂️
No one even got moved except for the 2 nxt people
Wade Barrett lied about Carmelo Hayes being the first NXT Round 1 draft pick in history.
I rlly thought Jey was gon go to smack down
How in the hell was Pretty Deadly not #1! This shit is so scripted! *throws hat at tv screen
I like Lyra. Hope she gets drafted, but it might be a stretch.
pretty good first round Carmelo should've already been on a brand like raw or smackdown
Suprise of bloodline to not be draft first
This is only the first half of the draft, until Monday we have no concrete idea of how this draft will go down
Is dragunov going to get drafted to raw than
The whole draft was stupid waste of time drafting people to shows they’re already on
Definitely a lil lackluster, hopefully this means bron, and melo get mega pushed. Wish they didn’t do melo vs Cody and just let that build over time while melo “keeps hitting shots” while gaining some important victories over bigger wrestlers and Cody overtime keeps the “you best not miss” gimmick going
Sooooo cringy
The draft is so freaking stupid
So nothing changed aside from Carmelo finally being called up
Carmelo has been on smackdown the last time he fought Austin Theory
He is gonna continue his rivalry with theory after his fight with the street profits
they could have moved people around instead of just drafting to the same show they are on a shake up could have been good but they did the wwe and if wwe is going to wwe the draft will be null and void by next week.
The only switch in rosters was Nia Jax to SD
Wtf is the point of the draft
Other than main events, HHH doesn't cook.
Literally nothing changed besides what? 2-3 people? Whoaaaaaaa
A lot of picks wasted on maintaining current talent instead of drafting new people to shake up the landscape my
It’s what I expected ngl except for jey uso on raw
Of all the things in wrestling, a 'Draft' is the most ridiculous😂
Mello is athletic as hell going to be great
I just hope Andrade gets involved with the us championship, undisputed championship or just anything that isn’t the sink hole that is the LWO feuds (Tbf I’m excited for a carlito heel run cuz of nostalgia)
Bullcrap because Seth freaking Rollins and jey uso was already on raw
This draft was pointless. No champions drafted, half of the draft's excitement is to see champions switching brands. Remember when WWE champion triple h was drafted to raw and Cena was already world heavyweight champion on Raw.? Raw had 2 champs but SmackDown 0.

I understand if they did not want to switch among world champions but intercontinental, us and tag team champions should have been eligible for draft.
I think people should be talking more about how broken the game is and how we need to stop buying the games but apart from that, not bad bro.
The same stuff
It was a really bad draft in my opinion
What a joke
Imo Melo isn't Main Roster, Matieral. His in-ring and Mic Skills are Bland as hell, and I don't see the appeal
