10 Bold Predictions For WWE Draft
4. Champions Switch Brands
With many current champions likely to be top picks in this draft, it leads to some interesting dynamics of what that could mean.
AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura could easily switch brands and keep their titles around their waist. But what about the branded titles?
If Becky Lynch for example were to be drafted to SmackDown (a likely scenario), she can't possibly bring the Raw Women's Championship right? Will she be forced to vacate? Does this set up a title unification match down the line? Does Becky Two Belts return? This certainly leads to a lot more questions than there are answers.
The same can be said for the two different tag titles. If either of those teams jump ship (or possibly split), will they then be vacating effective immediately? This could lead to some excellent storytelling if it is capitalized on well.
One example of that would be a poetically tragic outcome for one Dolph Ziggler. If they split him and Roode up, he could be left with two titles and no partner to defend them with. Cue another set of "it should've been me" style promos about how badly Ziggler was screwed by the draft.
All things considered, champions will be a large part of the conversation of this draft.
Regardless of wherever they end up calling home.
