Highlights from WWE Draft Night 1, Huge Crown Jewel matches announced

Bengaluru, Oct 12: The first night of WWE Draft went by from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on SmackDown making a huge impact on the roster. Starting from the very beginning of the show, the FOX and USA Network officials were monitoring the situation from a 'War Room’ to pick the draftees they’d like to have.

For every three picks that Monday Night Raw received, SmackDown received two picks. (As Raw is a three-hour show in compared to the two-hour run of SmackDown)

Becky Lynch made history becoming the first overall draft pick by the Raw brand joining the likes of The Rock, Seth Rollins who had the honour to kick-off a draft. Lynch also set a record to be the only woman to be the first draft pick in the company’s history. The red brand also secured The OCs and Drew McIntyre on their side whereas SmackDown received Roman Reigns and The Fiend Bray Wyatt to their side in the first lot.

Both #RAW and #SmackDown have made their very FIRST picks in this #WWEDraft:

Apart from the Draft results, two big matches were confirmed before SmackDown went on air. A press conference was hosted before the show where WWE EVP of talent relations, Triple H was in-charge to let us knew about these.

Another huge match set for the Halloween night will be Braun Strowman vs. Tyson Fury. The latter name will finally 'get these hands’ following their recent altercations over on SmackDown premiere night on FOX and the next episode of Raw. The Monster among Men going up against The Gypsy King is certainly going to be a huge billing for the next Saudi Arabia show.
