Here is an ARTICLE on the draft rules for tonight.

quote:

The rules provided by WWE for the draft is as follows:

* RAW will get the first overall pick on Tuesday night.

* With Smackdown being a two hour show and RAW being a three hour show, for every two picks Smackdown picks up, RAW will receive three picks.

* Tag teams will count as one pick unless a Commissioner or General Manager “specifically wants one member of the team.”

* Six draft picks will come from the current NXT roster.


I've always hear people say that Raw is 3 hours and Smackdown is only 2 hours. I watch these from time to time on Hulu the next day... Smackdown is usually 1 hr 27 minutes give or take a minute or two... Raw is always 1 hr 30 minutes. I realize Raw lasts longer on TV but the fact is the shows are almost identical in time once you get rid of the commercials.

Any interesting theories out there on how people are going to be selected?

Why are raw, smackdown, and hulu in all caps?

This is actually substantially less nerdy than the recruiting mock draft.

The draft was already done in a board room. There is no drama to it. No way they are taking Raw and making it somehow equal to smackdown. What they need to do is fine some new big time superstars. That product has zero huge superstars besides Seth Rollins, and even he isn't on the mega star level.

RAW on hulu is edited. Entire segments are missing, including matches. Its not just commercials.

As for the draft, its already been decided and they are advertising live events with split rosters. For example....

Tour 1: Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, The Miz, Cesaro, Alberto Del Rio, Enzo & Big Cass, The Dudley Boyz, Becky Lynch and Natalya

Tour 2: Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, The New Day, Sami Zayn, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Rusev, Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Paige

Only question is which tour is which show, that part isnt being directly advertised.
The only thing really troubling about that is that it indicates they are breaking up the bullet club

I updated the results...

I was a little surprised Bayley didn't get called up ahead of 3 lesser known NXT women. (nia jax, alexa bliss, and carmella)

Should be interesting to see how things go for the next couple of months.
