10 Reasons The WWE Draft Concept Failed

6. Supplemental Draft Was Irrelevant

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CenfZBKRs7c After WWE was done drafting all the top-tier talent during the televised portion of the Draft on Raw, the Draft would continue on WWE.com later on that night or in the days that followed. Spoiler alert: If they weren't drafted during Raw, then they probably didn't matter. Even the undercard needs a fresh feud once in a while, but it was largely meaningless to hold a supplemental draft on a platform most fans wouldn't go out of their way to check out. Why or how they were drafted was never explained. It was essentially a list of Superstars that were drafted to the opposite show and nothing more. Thus, fans couldn't have cared less about it. It would have been overkill to show Chuck Palumbo and Jamie Noble getting drafted during Raw, but it would have been wise to switch up the formula and move a major name during the supplemental draft on occasion. That would have given fans more incentive to at least tune in to see if anything of importance would happen.
