Still a great watch seeing Luke and oli ramble
That Is why It Is in the news channel and not Parts Fun Known. Most videos in this channel never get Views after 24 hours
It’s not even a draft lol, it’s a transfer aka shake up, Men’s and women’s world champions flip, Bloodline and Judgement day flips, Judgement dropping tag titles next Monday will confirm it, Tiffany and Bayley to Raw, American Made to Smackdown, Sheamus potentially to Smackdown as well
Raw wont get both Cody and Roman bro Usa Will feel fucked over😂@@Crow5537

massively overloaded smackdown in my opinion
"Wasn't he a character in the SpongeBob" hurt my brain
Also plank being in ed Edd and eddy not SpongeBob

Imagine NETFLIX not getting PUNK and ROMAN 💀💀💀💀
yeah feel like netflix il get anyone with good economic numbers smackdown might the show were u put up and comers give a push and see if fans like them and bu stuff were raw il be were the prove and tested are at
@@scotland9922...what?
Roman and Punk are the two biggest drawers at the moment. No way they aren’t mainstays on Netflix.
Netflix is getting Roman, Punk, Rhea, and Cody. Those are WWE’s pillars in 2025.
Rhea will be on smackdown Becky will be Netflix top girls
Yeah that was was an absolutely insane prediction by them to put 2/3 of the biggest stars on smackdown after that belt changes hands at the raw debut? 0 logic in that
@@gregoryfuller9736 this is not 2019
@@nalday2534 Netflix asked for Becky to be at the meeting only reason she was there if they didn’t asked Becky wouldn’t be there they also a reason Becky is returning on the first raw on Netflix Rhea is overrated that iwc pushes
Wow, how was Oli able to grow his moustache again so fast? (...that's sarcasm, kids...)
So…sarcasm makes your moustache grow fast?
:)
@waz207 yes, that's how I grew mine
thats not the only thing that daddy, i mean Oli knows how to make grow fast 😏
@@waz207 it's really good for the follicles
I'm very sarcastic, mine keeps growing in patchy... am I doing it wrong? Or is it all going to my beard?
Shame they recorded this before Smackdown where they said that NXT is going to be part of the transfer period too.
I’m surprised we didn’t do Jordynne Grace. She’s the most obvious wild card coming to WWE.
If Goldust returns to Raw, I need to see him cut a backstage segment where he is frantically looking for his brother, just for us to eventually learn that his "brother" is R-Truth. And Truth has absolutely no recollection of the year and a half they spent as a tag team.
Is it too much if R-Truth is mad, because he thinks Goldust is confusing him for Booker T?
Love how different things feel after just 1 week of Raw and SD
The whole rollins bit had me dying 7:39 😂😂
"We've got raw men we've got raw women"
Reckon we've all been to that party eh lads
Ba dum tssss 🥁
Thinking that maybe you guys need to do redo this because A LOT happened before you posted this. It would be cool to see your thoughts now as Drew didn't return as a babyface 😂. Netflix said they wanted Punk and Roman on Raw.
Punk and Roman vs Drew and Seth would be an elite tag match
I honestly think we may get something to this effect. It just fits too well not to have an elite heel faction with drew, seth and Owen's.
@@AkrimTabbouli I wish but the place to fit it in is where? Elimination Chamber?
"Netflix is going to want stars on Raw".... CM Punk, Roman and the entire bloodline on Smackdown it is.
And Dominik
And Seth Rollins
Carlito should be on NXT because it will give him a chance to become NXT champion
He has as much of a chance to be NXT Champ as Santos Escobar being a world champion
Yeah, cause he's useless on main roster, put him on nxt and let him job there.
"Raw on Netflix is the A show!"
"Proceeds to put the A story of the Bloodline on Smackdown"
Ok....
I'm very keen for the Transfer Portal, especially with how NXT is gonna be involved. Although I got a feeling for some champions. Mostly Cody and GUNTHER. Especially Cody with how we're probably getting Rock VS Cody at the Rumble.
Yeah Cody and Gunther are gonna switch. It feels like it. But what about other champions like Breakker or Nakamura?
@alternative7586 Honestly I'd say the only titles that don't switch are the IC and US titles for both men and women. World and WWE titles for women and tag will probably swap alongside of the men's ones. Although that's just a guess.
@@MrGurubill i don't think the tag titles will because I feel like the current WWE Tag Title story on Smackdown could stem for months with it going back and forth between Profits, DIY, and MCMG. At least that's what I feel. Honestly, they deserve to go back and forth like that, at least put them in another TLC
Sorry mate but rock vs cody is happening at mania. Rock loved cody that much behind the scenes and his feud with him reignite his passion to pro-wrestling so yeah sorry to roman fans.
Men’s and women’s world champions gonna flip, Bloodline and Judgement day will flip and the Judgement day drop the tag titles next Monday will make it even more obvious
“Apollo Crews is in a team with Ashante?” What? That’s not true 😂
Netflix not getting Punk or Roman is just insane 😊
I feel that Roman and maybe Punk will be on Raw as Netflix are gonna request the biggest stars and I feel that no matter what storyline potential you could have with those guys on smackdown I feel they're definitely going to raw. Big money wants the big stars.
my gut's predicting a good case of the old "big stuff goes to RAW, SD gets some stragglers and others as replacement and will have to make due" tbh...
i reckon SmackDown will be the superior show.
Me too @@pottsie_era
smackdown il get stars just not the biggest..mabye ones that are main event..but dont make the company much in sales/t-shirts ect
Smackdown will be like 2016-2019 again, the wrestling show, lead by Gunther and Raw will be Bloodline, Cody, KO and Randy story and Punk storylines, also the women champions will flip
Smackdown will become the workrate show 🔥🔥
"We have to make sure we stack Netflix"
*Proceeds to give smackdown 3 of the biggest factions, including Roman, plus Punk, and most of the best tag teams*
This should have been an actual draft. Oli picking smackdown and Luke picking for raw. Rather than a list type video.
Yall do know Netflix will be the “A show” right? 😂
Punk has been on every Netflix poster and event. SRS said he's heard Netflix requested Roman Reigns. I would say those 2 are set for Raw. Maybe you go Cody, Punk, Roman, Randy on Raw with Gunther, Seth, KO, Drew on SD. So then you can do Roman/Punk and Cody/Randy (unless Rock can do 41 so it's Cody/Rock).
It feels like judgement Day is completely out of gas. This includes Dirty Dom and Liv Morgan.
finn balor face turn
@@Capbruh68 yeah this year it was rhea and preist..feel u have to finish the judgement day...finn goes singles star but mates with jd...liv and dom go off and be a couple for abit..they il spit to once feels right and raquel can go mates with liv and mabye get a middle belt at best
They are going electric
Liv led the women's division in merchandise sales ahead of Rhea and was 6th overall. Liv and Dom are the only members of Judgement Day anyone cares about.
Finn is getting booted soon and they’re moving to Smackdown
Oli Davis looking like Petyr Baelish from Game of Thrones. It’s a good look!
Agreed!
LittleMandibleClaw
In 2002 with the first draft, you saw Raw become more storyline based while Smackdown become more Wrestling based. I think the same thing happens here. I think Raw will be Bloodline Heavy while Smackdown becomes more Cody and Friends heavy. I do agree with Luke in that i feel the 2 mens world titles will change brands. I would have Raw be headlined by Bloodline while Smackdown is Cody, KO, Sami, Gunther. I could see Punk on either brand but would prefer him on SD because i think it will need some star power other than Cody.
This was really fun to watch! and see Luke and Oli us their new technology moving superstar digitally for their prediction for Raw & Smackdown, it’s cool that Liv Morgan is going into wrestlemania 41 as champion not to mention she won’t need to participate in the women’s royal rumble this year either.
I get that they're doing their own thing and fair enough, but Punk vs. Rollins is probably the main event of WM41 Night One. Why do they keep insisting on not going for at least an objective analysis (or close to it) for the sake of being different?
The only thing I have to say is since they’re going to Netflix they need a kick ass intro and theme song for raw. Something that has a cool factor, any ideas?
Here’s my idea just to throw one out there.
‘Tom sawyer by rush plays, Roman reigns dressed in a leather jacket walks down a city street as fans start to notice he’s there. People keep watching him. On the other side of the street Cody Rhodes with a suit on is sitting down greeting a few kids, when a cutaway of some of the top stars happen. Cm punk, drew, Kevin Owen’s, Rollins and the rock. The rock appears with a huge crowd of paparazzi and stares both Cody and Roman down as the screen cuts to the wwe on Netflix logo.
Oli: that mustache was an absolute banger, be proud.
Production: Who left the Discord noise suppression running??? 😂
Cody vs rock is not a mania match and definitely not the biggest match you can do.
Rock vs Roman at mania end of
that possible but it seem they would rather have punk vs roman so they would go with plan B cody vs rock for people championship belt
Disagree on Jey, keep him as a singles guy on Raw
I love the OSW call of stating both versions of what could happen and not cutting either out.
Smackdown is on Netflix it just didn’t get what raw got
Hear me out. Jey to smack down on his own. Jimmy and Sami to raw as the tag act
15:06 oh Luke and your beautiful brain with the Offspring reference. Love this guy.
Just wait til Netflix demand the Netflix Worild Heavyweight Championship

8:00 Having gone to university a few years later than Luke, I have those exact pictures as well, but it's worse cause instead of being on some long-gone (and possibly not archived on the wayback machine) website, those are on facebook and might very well remain on the internet forever
move nikki cross down to the smackdown women
Fabrizio Romano: Cody Rhodes transferred to Raw, Here We GO!
The most effective point that was made in this video is if you imagine raw and smackdown as 2 hour shows with one world title and one mid card title for the men and the women, and u cut a lot of the lesser talent you could make a killer product.
Ashante and Apollo aren't a tag team hahaha. They're thinking of Cedric and Ashante who actually both went to NXT and aren't together anymore
Do you think we see any new factions this year i have a hunch with wwe wanting to do some nostalgia for Netflix i think they reboot an old faction (nwo, DX, evolution,etc)
8:08 Luke with the hottest out of leftfield take here imo.
I'm fairly certain 20 year olds in the mid 2000s knew how to take a picture as much as 20 year olds in 2024. Phone Cameras weren't that groundbreaking given digital photography was already a thing for years at that point lol
Love the videos, need to bring back the fantasy booking wars
The wyatts vs the new day with ridge holland
Please do this with the AEW roster (Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision splits)
Would they really put the world title on SmackDown when the womens world title & world tag titles are branded the same way with the same design?
Cody & Gunther swap, Perez & Page get the call, Roman gets declared a permanent FA & the tag champs swap. Beyond that.....Don't think much else will happen.
12:10 I’m going to say that Rhea can stay at Raw, win rumble or elimination chamber, then challenge Liv and beat her at Mania, forcing her transfer as their champion, to Smackdown.
31:46 I've heard there is a complcation with Carmella. Somthing about the arches in her feet.
I will say I think it’s odd to have Joe Hendry, Ricky Starks, and Dustin Rhodes but not Jordynne Grace.
It doesn't matter what you think
This would actually be the perfect chance for wwe to give smackdown another Paul Heyman style show, like the smackdown 6 era. Who would be the new smackdown 6?
Totally on board with your Tiffany cash-in theory for the first episode on Netflix… You instantly make her a star! ⭐️💯
Actually thats a pretty great roster I cant lie, great job boys
I’ve had that idea Luke’s had in a minute.
That way the belt with the big WWE logo is on the show no matter what. And both belt designs are represented.
That way new fans that only watch one show can then watch the PLE. And when the smackdown wrestlers come out they can say “oh that’s the world championship, it’s the women’s world title with a black strap” or vice versa
The way Luke said "Austin Theory is also there" felt pretty brutal 😁
32:32 Oli keeping the memories alive.
Netflix requested Roman Reigns, not going to be on SmackDown.
There needs to be one big live draft show dedicated to only the draft where everyone is decided there and then between Raw, Smackdown and even NXT (to keep their stars)... Have it durong the day before Raw after Wrestlemania and like the old days have Raw exclusive PPV shows and Smackdown exclusive PPV shoes with 6 interpromotional PPVs (KOTR, MITB, Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania).
MITB is just one Briefcase for each division (men, women, tag) giving the winner the free choice to jump shows for a different champion if it suits them.
KOTR will be a cross branded tournament with 2 finalist coming from each show to compete in a cross brand bracket at the PPV the winning brands superstar will face their champion at Summerslam in the main event giving their brand the main event at the summer event.
At Summerslam there will be one big interpromotional match (champ v champ or cross brand battle royal or just 2 selected from each brand) the winner of this match gets the cross brand wargames advantage (regardless of if it turns out male or female wargames main event).
The winner of the cross brand wargames match will earn their brand the coveted no.30 spot in both male and female Rumbles (which can be contested exclusively on their show or even awarded to whoever picks up the wargames win).
The superstar who wins the Rumble from Raw, Smackdown or NXT (10 entrants each) can choose to jump ship and take on any champion they see fit in the main event of Wrestlemania regardless of which belt they fight for.
You already have a big enough roster to create 3 massive shows so might as well treat them as seperate entitles properly... This also makes cross branded affairs special rather then Cody Rhodes popping up anywhere that's WWE programming for literally no reason at times.
I would watch a series of these where they take rosters from different companies/eras and draft them to either Smackdown or Raw.
Raw: Punk (World champ), Roman, Seth, Sami, Kevin, Priest
Smackdown: Cody (wwe champ) Dew, Gunther, Randy, LA, Finn
This feels likely, but I think Seth gets the belt off Gunther and Punk wins the rumble. This would be the pay off for Punk saying that he doesn’t care about Seth since he doesn’t have the belt anymore. If Seth gets the belt, Punk then has the incentive to face him.
@ tbh great idea 🔥
I’m so glad that outside North America, Smackdown and NXT will also be on Netflix
I think the draft is happening after Mania. Too many things going on right now that I doubt Trips will want to switch, knowing it wouldn’t make sense. People already complain too much about X wrestler from Raw being on SD and vice versa.
honestly... if they made an "on the injured list" tier, this would have been perfect
Damn Noticed that its not just NXT that got one of the stacked Womens roster but Raw and Smackdown in this
Oli and Sat need to parody the T Mobile commercials.
42:20 imagine by the time the Roman and punk feud actually happens Brock Lesnar returns as who Paul Heyman sides with
Roman will be on Raw. He is the biggest star in WWE. So will all the bloodline.
I think stay on smackdown he will not want to do the live shows. If have cena cody rock drew and lynch raw will have no problems
'You don't remember planking...?'
'Is he a character in Spongebob?'
Also, Luke is around my age (slightly younger, I think) and Oli is younger still. That's how come Oli remembers planking as a trend. In my Uni days, selfies were only just becoming a thing - heck, when I entered Uni, *camera phones* were only just becoming a thing. I remember I didn't have a camera phone until I was maybe 19 or 20, if not older.
Rhea beats Liv for the title in the first match of the Netflix era, Rhea is wayyyy too big a star to be on Smackdown and it sets up Rhea and Becky for mania and banish JD to Fridays away from Rhea and Priest
Considering how last draft did absolutely nothing, I wouldn't hold my breath.
From January Raw Smackdown and NXT are on Netflix in Australia
Oli over here making me question my sexuality
I think punk has to be on Netflix and I think it will be their top pick even over wwe champ Cody
29:42 since when?😂
13:29 "..because that also can tell your new audience "Here's what the Money in the Bank briefcase does.""
That would absolutely not be the purpose. If you do it on the debut Netflix episode, you've made Money in the Bank irrelevant for the next six months. Do you think anyone who is introduced to it in January will even remember it by July when it becomes relevant again?
Also, do you really think that there will actually be ANYONE in the Netflix Raw audience who is new to WWE?
The percentage of people who will be watching who aren't familiar with the concept of Money in the Bank starts with zero and a decimal point, probably with another zero afterwards.
Edit: Ollie says moments later that this will be "episode 1... for most people". Really? Do you actually believe that?
My biggest take aways from looking at all this, its kind of impressive to have 2 bloated rosters like that lol and we need to give a shoutout to ROH for building so much of them.
Edit- Also the timeline inconsistencies and if they were placed or not despite being injured drove me crazy after a while 🤣
You forgot jordynne grace
Joe Hendry just sticks out when they scroll lol.
Every time they mentioned doing a job for Paul Levesque, Ollie immediately asked watchers to like and subscribe which made it feel like they were asking for Hunter to sub and made me laugh.
Sorry for the clumsy comment.
Here out my pitch, Carlito and R Truth as a comedy tag team 😅
21:16 “Maybe Drew comes back as a babyface!” 💀
Wrestletalk always on the forefront of change
Charlotte and Becky quite literally are the best in the woman’s wrestling and we haven’t seen them in so long 😔
Deadline was awesome, if possible you guys should check it out
Yall know smackdown needs top stars too I’m tried of smackdown get jerk around and end up with no top stars
Video so new yet so outdated
Pretty sure Luke just came up with the greatest match ever that doesn’t exist yet.
Very bad draft.
Punk and Dominik will be on RAW.
Woof, this video reeks if being recorded a while ago... LA as US champ. Not keeping Candice with Nia and Tiff, discussing breaking up Street Profits that just got back on track with B-fab.
didnt LA knight just drop the US belt
So I thought NXT Deadline was pretty cool last night.
It doesn't matter what you think.
When did Apollo and ashante become a tag team?
Sorry this is gonna be crazy, but in all honesty whatever title they put on Roman reigns will become the number one title only because stories that he tells are more compelling than Cody so I think it’s gonna backfire and it’s not gonna turn out how people think it is
