TWO WWE DRAFT PLANS THAT CHANGED OVER LAST WEEK & MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2021-10-04 22:38:00

The original plan for this past Friday's Draft was that the #1 Draft Pick for Raw was to have been Bobby Lashley with the idea that viewers would have to see where Big E, the WWE Champion, would land on Monday, especially after the remainder of New Day was drafted to Smackdown.  That cliffhanger idea was dropped over the course of the day this past Friday with Big E replacing Lashley as Raw's top draft pick.  Lashley was instead drafted on Raw.

There was also serious consideration put into breaking up The Street Profits with the idea of Montez Ford moving to Raw with Bianca Belair and Angelo Dawkins remaining on Smackdown.  That talk lessened over the course of last week and instead, T-Bar and Mace ended up split as a team as of last Friday's Smackdown.

While this has not been announced, we are told the plan is to have more Draft-related content on Raw Talk on Peacock after Raw goes off the air.  We'll have coverage of that later this evening.
