Speaking of New Day, their emotional split during the Draft was totally avoidable and absolutely illogical from a marketing standpoint. WWE like to use the Draft as an excuse to break up established teams, but this came across as random and counter-productive from Raw.

To recap, Raw drafted the entire Hurt Business stable in one fell swoop but... chose to split up one of the most popular factions in company history by leaving Big E over on SmackDown? Nobody stopped to explain why USA only fancied two thirds of New Day when E is clearly a breakout star waiting to happen.

Logic counts, people.
