3. More Draft-Wrecking Nonsense

Then, they had the cheek to book a match that didn't actually include one SmackDown-contracted worker. As The Hurricane might say, what's up with that?! New Catch Republic vs. AOP was a Raw match, so what in the name of Teddy Long was it doing on Friday night's delight? Make it make sense, Triple H.

Sure, most people reading this are probs giggling to themselves and don't care about this stuff, but you'd think WWE would. It really wouldn't be difficult to pre-plan the Draft and then stick to it. Again, if the "ironclad rosters" don't come into effect until Backlash is over with, fine - but make that clear.

Rant over.

OK, not really. Corey Graves even went on to say that fans could expect this feud between NCR and The Final Testament to continue over on Raw, then claimed neither side will be spotted on SmackDown going forwards. Excuse us if we don't believe you, Mr. Graves.
