We've got 7 superstars from Raw and NXT that SmackDown needs to add to their roster in the WWE Draft
The WWE Draft kicks off with tonight's episode of SmackDown, giving each brand the opportunity to revitalize their rosters with superstars from the opposing brand and call-ups from NXT . The stakes are high for each brand to retain their key superstars while also adding new energy to the mix to offer compelling match-ups.
That means that Priest isn't moving, and so Judgement Day is likely not moving either given they are all part of the same pick. Ripley not moving then means that Morgan isn't likely moving, and there are multiple examples of that sort of storyline tethering throughout the draftable roster. Then there's the sheer value of the pick, as drafting The Bloodline gets you Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Paul Heyman. If you're looking to fill out the roster with some powerhouses right up front, you can't go wrong with The Bloodline.
prevnext Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill So this is cheating a bit, as both of these stars are up as solo picks in the Draft. That said, I think it's important that whoever drafts them drafts them both, and since it's so early in Jade Cargill's tenure on SmackDown, I'm going to go with the blue brand as the destination.
The feud moved forward in a big way at WrestleMania, with Punk helping to cost McIntyre his newly won Title. Since then though McIntyre has started feuding with Sheamus, but we've seen plenty of that before. That's why moving to SmackDown would give McIntyre some new targets, but the Punk feud is still his ultimate goal, and you would need to also draft Punk so that the feud can continue when Punk is fully recovered.
That would be Austin Theory, who is currently holding Title gold with Grayson Waller. The two are on a high right now, but there have been teases that they will turn on each other down the road. If that were to happen, Theory would complete The Way reunion, though even if he didn't reunite with his former friends, just having them on SmackDown would spice up the tag division and provide another faction that could go against anyone.
