15 Ways WWE Has Already Ruined Their Own 2020 Draft
Bleeding red or blue for a month or two.
The 2020 WWE Draft took place between 9-12 October on SmackDown, Raw and the supplementary Talking Smack and Raw Talk chat shows. In total, Stephanie McMahon was tasked with reading 50 picks from little pieces of cardboard on telly, then WWE announced a further 10 picks later.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that this meant a whopping 60 acts had switched brands during the Draft, but that's not the case. In fact, most of the picks stayed put on the same shows they'd been on in the first place, and that meant the entire exercise was a quite astounding waste of everybody's time.
