WWE Draft 2024: 5 Things That Will Happen (And 5 That WON’T!)
2. WILL: Some Brand GM Bickering
This is too easy a shot to miss.
Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce have a respectfully tense, competitive working rivalry that shouldn't work but does. It shouldn't work because the Raw vs. SmackDown idea has been plundered to breaking point over the years, but does work because both guys don't go overboard and come across as realistic bosses trying to do the best they can for their shows.
It'd be cool if Aldis and Pearce did some more bickering during the Draft. They could be shown reacting to announcements, and explaining why they chose certain wrestlers. Then, if WWE fancies it, they could even bring Ava from NXT along for the ride to have her throw the odd curveball into the mix.
Both Aldis and Pearce could bid to one up each other to keep Ava sweet and make sure they get to cherry pick the best NXT has to offer. Little moments and promos like these could help the Draft specials motor along nicely. Aldis and Pearce must be there to react at the very least.
