Paul Heyman level spoiler alert for you: Brock Lesnar will get drafted to SmackDown.

Shocking, I know. WWE needs some instant star power and they call in Lesnar? Unprecedented territory, that is for sure. But beyond that sarcasm-laced sentence is the point that big stars will start making their way to the blue brand in droves.

Lesnar will likely be a big part of the FOX plan, for both his stardom and real sports background, but he will not be the only one. Expect some big name returns (CM Punk Hype: The Sequel) to drop during the Draft process. However, perhaps more worrying for Raw and USA will be the movement of current stars to Friday nights.

Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Becky Lynch, insert big name Raw star here: all could find themselves being broadcast exclusively on FOX every week. With a barren card to this point for Hell in a Cell, a lot of these matches could be the last for some of these wrestlers on their respective brands. Which could lead to a lot of quick title changes, short storylines, and even shorter title reigns.

However, all of this will be leading to what should be a better, stronger, and more diverse company post-draft. The roster will finally feel solidified after being so nonsensical for so long. And that will build the strength of the WWE's hold on the top spot even more, maybe with a little help from their friends...
