Big match with draft implications set for Monday’s WWE Raw

Share:

The company will hold a two-night Draft special starting with the October 11 edition of SmackDown Live, which will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley showed off her new look on this week's show, which featured night one of the two-night WWE Draft.

This week's SmackDown on FOX will be entertaining because the WWE Draft will officially commence and our favourite superstars may have to shift their loyalties according to the brands they are placed in. Monday's Raw is in Denver at the Pepsi Center.

Raw superstar and Universal champion Seth Rollins takes on SmackDown's Roman Reigns, in a match where the victor earns the first overall draft choice for their brand. Black will be eligible for selection on Monday, but Wyatt ended up going to SmackDown last night.

For months now FOX and WWE have been hyping up SmackDown's move to Friday nights on FOX and last week the show finally joined the network.

Tag Teams will count as one pick unless FOX or USA Network specifically wants to pick one Superstar from the team.

Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer also shed some light on what to expect, including how the whole thing will be created to resemble a real sports draft.

Often, going into the annual draft of talent, rules are murky at best, or, non-existent. They got their battle plan.

Weirdly, Raw was given three picks for every two from SmackDown as well (something to do with it being there hours long, as if that should matter), and that meant the red brand dominated the first 20 by 13-7.
