Bengaluru, October 14: The first night of the Draft indeed brought a unique experience to the WWE Universe. A legit sports feel was brought to the pro-wrestling environment as WWE set up war rooms for the USA Network and FOX officials to select the superstars from the available pool.
Plus, there was a Wrestlemania-worthy opening contest alongside a solid main event that occurred a huge title change. And now, WWE will present Draft night II during tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw which is set to take place at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.
A pool of 40 superstars will be in the pool from which the selections will have to be made by the Raw and SmackDown host network officials. Interesting spoilers on this night have surfaced on the internet.
Dave Meltzer noted on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio on the potential big drafts that might happen on Raw. It’s still unclear who will go end up on Raw and SmackDown rosters on night two of the WWE Draft. However, this past episode of SmackDown gave us hints that The Queen, Charlotte Flair might be going to Raw. Also, King Corbin may head towards SmackDown.
“Vince does like to beat people that he’s gonna move to the other show and I thought when this was over that it felt like Baron Corbin might go to SmackDown, but the one I really sensed that with — which is weird because she’s done nothing but promotion for SmackDown for six months — is Charlotte Flair because of the way she lost I thought she might be going to Raw.”
“Paul Heyman’s like a huge Charlotte Flair fan so that makes sense, but it’s like she’s been doing nothing but promotion on FOX for so long and then they start and they move her is, you know, but if she was staying she could have lost, but would she have lost that way?”
“So Randy Orton may be going babyface, or at least this was a test,” stated the veteran wrestling journalist.
The above-mentioned test occurred on a dark segment of SmackDown. Once the live YV show was over, Orton took on Kevin Owens in a singles contest. But the 205 Live superstars interfered in the match as the two main roster superstars cleaned house together. This was a tease for the Apex Predator to once again be a fan favorite name.
