trying to look at it from a booker's perspective, and I could be wrong. but it feels like with the way current stories and where everyone else, WWE kinda don't need a draft now, it feels like everyone should stay on their brand or the entire rosters are swapped around (everyone on RAW goes to SD and vice versa) let's say Cody stays on Smackdown, that means Orton goes to Smackdown to set up future feud, Logan Paul on SD to continue Orton feud, LA Knight on SD to take the US title from Logan, Styles on SD to continue the (hopefully long) feud with Cody, so that means Judgement Day stay on RAW including Rhea, so Liv and Becky stay on RAW cuz there's unfinished business between Rhea and Women's World title picture, so Bayley stays on Smackdown, Zayn stays on RAW cuz US title is on Smackdown, so Gable and Reed stay on RAW to continue their feuds with them, so Alpha Academy stay, so Ivy Nile stays cuz Maxxine, so Candice and Indi stay to continue that feud, so DIY stay cuz couples on same brand rule, Rollins also stays on RAW cuz Becky, Drew stays on RAW cuz his goal is the WHC, so Punk returns to RAW as well. Sheamus might stay on RAW too because IC title and he seems to be setting up something with Drew. so the biggest stars that can move around are Jey Uso and The Bloodline, hopefully opposite brands cuz we haven't had enough of singles Jey without feuding with the Bloodline, the Bloodline could move to RAW to change scenery, we won't be needing them to mix with Cody and Rock until Wrestlemania season probably, Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens move wherever the Bloodline go (begrudgingly, wish the KO/Bloodline feud ended already lol), Gunther could change brands, the rest of the women's division is unclear but I assume Damage CTRL gotta stay on Smackdown so we get more feuds for Bayley against any of them (like Bayley vs Dakota), the tag division also is unclear but I assume the champions stay where they are and the Creeds stay on RAW because Gable, so British Strong Style are kinda needed on SD as well. I might be completely wrong, we shall see
Agreed. This is their chance to fully even out both, if not all 3 shows with lots of star power Raw has lots of top players but also has the majority of the WWE mid card which results in lots of filler matches at times. Smackdown on the other hand has too many BIG names which result in matches always being ended in DQs in order to protect big stars during singles matches which I am SOOOOO over with. NXT will be losing Ilja, Bron and Melo to the main roster and are in the middle of creating new stars on their show, so they're really gonna benefit from main roster stars being drafted to come put over or elevate NXT stars and titles.
@@triplehkingofkings5883 they need to bring bragging rights I mean always feel raw vs sd makes sense in bragging rights more than survivors series since it technically have no story at all just 2 brand fighting each other so have a brand war ppv. With war games being more serious now with actual storyline there is no chance of survivors series match coming back
Imo Charlotte shouldn't be drafted at all & let her choose where she wants to come back when shes Actually back in the WWE. Let someone else whos active & ready for the Draft🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
LA Knight is a must to Raw. Great challenger for Damien Priest. I'd also like to Santos Escobar away from the LWO and he could have fresh matches on Raw as well. Santos vs Sammi Zayn would be great imo
I would put all of damage ctrl on RAW. Get them away from the never ending Bianca feud. It’s doing nobody any favors honestly in my opinion. Plus it’s made it where I could care less about Bianca. Anytime see her interact with any members of damage ctrl is roll my eyes
Well strap in cuz they literally teased a feud between Bianca and Jade against the Kabuki Warriors at the last Smackdown episode for the tag titles. So they are not getting separated anytime soon.
They already hinted a feud between Bianca and Jade against the Kabuki Warriors at the last Smackdown episode for the tag titles. So Bianca has 0% chance of going to Raw right now.
Logan asked HHH about being drafted to RAW and he said at the moment you’re with Fox. He’s likely one of the key guys that is part of a tv network deal.
If you're gonna have Paul on raw, you should also put Theory and Waller and raw too bc I think WWE is going to actually make them a big faction now that every member has gold
Santi in your next video you should discuss titles that should be in the WWE. For example I think that war games should not be just at survivor series, but at every ple except money in the bank and the royal rumble. It should also get a title.
I think Rhea is probably gonna be out until Rumble 2025. And have Rhea win the 2025 would be insane. Bc only Bianca or Rhea can be the first ever two time women royal rumble winner and not get any major backlash.
Honestly, it's time Dijak comes up to the main roster. He's Mister PLE himself, a guy his size that can move like him would have amazing feuds with the giants over on RAW.
Crazy today I watched cultaholic wrestling and they were talking about the draft and I thought I know for a fact santi got a good video on the draft little did I know you got 3 lol thank you santi
Comparing the Raw roster to SD right now is just tragic and why we need this Draft. The biggest draws in the men's right now are probably Cody, Punk, and Drew (in that order), and one of them is injured, and the other is technically holding a SD title 😭. I just think the roster is too skewed to one side in terms of star power and needs to be evened out a little. Edit: I heard somewhere (TeshK I think) that Charlotte was doing videos on her Instagram, but had a noticeable limp to her. So she is nowhere near ready to return yet unfortunately.
@@rooneykwami4820 lol people were saying how stack are women's roster and they need mid card title in each but last raw give everyone reality there is only 14 females in division where only 3 of them are currently top female that are liv nia and Becky and only 1 is mega top female becky lynch. Rest 11 women's were tag team and jobbers. Liv, Becky ana nia are only one who can be in world title and other are just joke. Even NXT females had more character work to become mid card champion than any of those 11 female including Shayna who was once treated as monster heel
@@Gxatland yeah can help build new star but the landscape of women's division on raw was so poor lately saying entire women's raw women's division was used in battle royale and they were only 14 females and out of them 11 were tag team and jobbers with no character direction at all except Chelsea green. Even nia and liv are the only one except Becky who are qualify to hold inaugural mid card title. If goes by tournament excluding this 3 only one who can win it possibly are Zoey stark and Shayna baszler because they are strongest among tag team and jobbers. If you see NXT female division even lower card and mid card female have character I sees Thea hail having character than any of those 11 female. WWE clearly first need to build up characters to introduce title. Title can only be elevated if the person is valuable enough otherwise it would be same like giving world title to someone like Jinder Mahal or ricochet etc
Honestly i agree on your take of Corbin before he went back to NXT i genuinely couldnt stand the guy and he was a big reason Raw and Smackdown from 2018-2019 was a chore and bore to sit through with his never ending push, worn out gimmicks that went on way too ànd horrible feuds but he seems to have gotten a lot better especially with his presentation and partnership with Breakker has made him fun to watch
Day 1 Of Asking Santi to answer who will dethrone Oba Femi + Day 14 Of Asking Santi to rank every wrestlemania From NXT To Raw Dragunov, Perez, Carmelo Hayes From Smackdown to Raw Logan Paul The Pride Jimmy Uso Damage Ctrl LA Knight Kevin Owens
I am still used to see WWE championships in RAW and world championships in Smackdown but i guess it will be too much to switch all including champions.
I'm happy about the new network changes for all 3 brands coming soon. I don't have any issues with RAW and NXT on the USA network moving to Netflix and CW respectively, but I always have to wait til 8pm PST time to watch Smackdown because my FOX channel shows Smackdown with LOUD SPANISH DUB COMMENTATING which heavily distracts from what's being shown on TV. So I'm glad it's moving from 8pm FOX to 5pm USA from my perspective.
Instead of Bianca being drafted and having another feud with Becky ( I love them don't get me wrong) let them focus on building Liv so we can have more superstars next time an emergency BR happens. Or if they do draft Bianca don't let that lead to Liv be in the limelight. Tiffy and Liv should be next up and built accordingly cmon Trips..
Tight Call: All of the singles belts flip brands. Paul gets to Raw, then Sami gets Smackdown. Judgement Day and Becky get drafted to Smackdown, Bayley and Cody get drafted to Raw. Or, Draft Judgement Day and Bayley only.. Then have a Winner Picks Their Brand Match between Bayley Becky and Damien Cody.
If Sami and jey switches to smackdown and bloodline stays there, they could potentially have an old bloodline reunion and have them face the new bloodline
You said it Santi RAW has all the Women's tag teams. This is reason 2 (reason 1 being RAW has more time) that I've been saying RAW should become the exclusive home of the Women's tag belts, let those be RAW's women's mid-card titles. Then on SD you can introduce a women's solo midcard title, be that a Women's Intercontinental or a Women's United States title. It makes perfect sense to do it that way.
am i the only one that thinks that Dom Mysterio should be the next US Champ maybe at the end of the year when hes back? I feel like hes earned it and will be good too see what he can do on the next level

I'm mad late try
Ok I think Seth should head to smackdown because he has to face romen unless they do a cross brand match
Here before the AEW guy!
I just hope they stay committe to draft
If you're gonna have Paul on raw, you should also put Theory and Waller and raw too bc I think WWE is going to actually make them a big faction now that every member has gold
Then that means Awesome Truth would have to head to Smackdown and they do that whole switching of titles
Santi, how can Cameron Grimes go to NXT when he’s released?
this was recorded beforehand
a dark cloud is over wwe until chelsea green wins a title😔

Draft LA knight to RAW, Keeps Damians as heel, then tweener Finn for a banger triple Threat match
