Tuesday Night SMACKDOWN Updates/Discussion/Spoilers

[Cory]

Figured now that it's live we have this to shit talk and the such.

Anyone want to make a few predictions as to who gets drafted where?

[T-Bonizzle]

I predict tag teams get broken up needlessly for the *shock* factor, and other gimmicky roster distributions happen for the *shock* factor.

Basically the same old WWE draft nonsense.

[Fnord]

Midas and I were talking about that.

What tag teams do you think they are going to split up?

[Cory]

Prediction:

Raw:

GM - HHH
Top Pick - Dean Ambrose
Other Notables - Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, The New Day, The Wyatts
Title Belts - WWE Championship, IC Title, Women's Title

[Tag Team belts flex between shows]

Smackdown:

GM - Daniel Bryan
Top Pick - John Cena
Other Notables - Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Rusev, The Club, NXT (Balor + AA)
Title Belts: World Heavyweight Title, US Title, Cruiserweight Title

Midas and I were talking about that.

What tag teams do you think they are going to split up?

My guess is maybe someone from the Wyatts (Harper or Rowan) simply to even them out at 3 for an expected long feud with The New Day, maybe Enzo and Cass with how decent Cass looked solo too. I think KO and Zayn split up too

[Chris Shields]

There won't be any teams split up. WWE.com put up an article with the rules of the draft as well as a list of male superstars, female superstars, and teams.

*Raw has the first overall pick

*Since SmackDown Live is a two-hour show and Raw is three hours, for every two picks SmackDown Live receives, Raw will receive three picks

*Tag teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team​

*Six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster​

That specifically says tag teams CAN be split up though....

[Chris Shields]

That specifically says tag teams CAN be split up though....

Yes, it does say that they CAN be split up, but I highly doubt that there will be any split up. The fact that they made that tag teams count as one pick rule, tells me that they don't have plans to split any of them up.

[Kieran King]

The fact that they specifically made an exception tells me that they do.

I feel like Enzo and Cass are heading for Splitsville even though I don't want them to. Splitting the Lucha Dragons would be the most sensible I feel.

[Mike Powers]

Yes, it does say that they CAN be split up, but I highly doubt that there will be any split up. The fact that they made that tag teams count as one pick rule, tells me that they don't have plans to split any of them up.

Care to make a wager on that? Because I'm certain that there will be a tag team split up, probably more than 1.

[Talon]

Interesting that Lucha Dragons aren't even listed as a tag team.

[Fnord]

If they are going to have a Cruiserweight Title, that screams Enzo so I could see a split there.

[Gravedigger]

Interesting that Lucha Dragons aren't even listed as a tag team.

They announced today that they're entering the draft as singles competitors...

[T-Bonizzle]

NO NO NO NO NO I QUIT

[jagilki]

Well, that was shit.

Except Mojo.  Mojo for Champion
