10 New WWE Directions After The 2020 Draft

10. Build SmackDown's Tag Division Around Ziggler & Roode

As with all WWE drafts, the 2020 edition gave us very clear winners and losers. It could be argued that the biggest loser was the SmackDown tag team division, as the already somewhat desolate division was obliterated. The New Day, Miz & Morrison and Lucha House Party all moved to RAW, as did one half of Heavy Machinery. The Street Profits may have moved the other way with the blue belts in tow, but their list of challengers doesn't really stretch beyond Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura, two men who should probably be involved in singles competition anyway.

Bleak indeed, but you don't become a long-time WWE fan without retaining the odd bit of illogical hope and blind optimism. Where there is despair there is opportunity, and the time has come for SmackDown's tag team division to be rebuilt. The construction must take place around an anchor team, a duo who should dethrone The Street Profits and hold the titles for a long while, as teams are established around them.

That duo is Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode. It may be frustrating for the two veterans to continue in the tag ranks but this is a great opportunity for both, a chance to build something, a chance to use their undoubted talent and undeniable experience to make SmackDown a better place for tag teams.
