Why Becky Lynch Wasn't Drafted On WWE SmackDown
For those wondering why Big Time Becks wasn't included in the WWE Draft on Friday...
With the first night of the 2021 WWE Draft now in the books, some are wondering why certain big hitters were left undrafted once SmackDown and Talking Smack concluded. And one such big hitter, was Becky Lynch.
Given how Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair was moved from Raw to SmackDown on Friday, some presumed that we'd get The Man switching to Raw later in the night. That obviously didn't come to pass, and Lynch herself has responded to fan questions about why she wasn't part of the WWE Draft on this week's Smackers.
As Becky explained, she's not eligible to be drafted until tomorrow night's Raw.
The Man is not eligible to be picked until Monday . I wanted to give people more time to put money on the table . https://t.co/ry3QNeIl3w

Whilst she wasn't involved in the Draft on SmackDown, Big Time Becks was a major presence on the show, providing commentary during the Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks match, getting involved in the finish to that contest, and then having a stand-off with Flair.
It remains to be seen whether Lynch is moved to the Raw brand tomorrow, with SmackDown currently now housing both of WWE's Women's Champion. Of course, WWE has announced that any Draft moves will not actually come into effect until 22 October - which gives the company a couple of weeks to take their respective titles from Lynch or Flair should it be needed.
