9 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (July 18th)
9. What Draft News Will Come Up?
WWE made news Sunday when they put rules for Tuesday’s draft
up on WWE.com.
We now know who has the first pick (Raw and Stephanie McMahon), that Raw gets three picks to Smackdown’s two (corresponding to hours on TV), tag teams count as one pick, and six NXT superstars will be drafted. Those are some pretty specific rules, and kudos to WWE for actually laying them out there in advance of the draft rather than allow speculation to run rampant. For example, the announcers had spent weeks talking about tag teams possibly being broken up, and now that doesn’t look like it’ll happen.
But if WWE is announcing rules for the draft already, is it possible that we could have more news coming Monday night (besides naming the two GMs for the shows)? Perhaps we’ll get a snippet of new news on Raw.
