Bengaluru, August 5: As WWE TV ratings and viewership are constantly taking a hit, critics and fans blame it on the company's ways of ignoring the young talents. And finally, it looks like the company has realized the same and some of the superstars could be set for new opportunities in the coming months.
WWE is reportedly planning to shake things up in their programmes via hosting another Draft between Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown, according to what Dave Meltzer said on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio. Originally, five different dates were being considered for the new edition, but two possible dates have been shortlisted in October.
Meltzer also noted how WWE wanted to carry out the Draft at some point in August. There’s still a chance that it may end up being moved to September, but the bottom line is that a Draft is happening in the coming months, whenever the date may be. WWE creative hasn't even made up their mind yet to insert it perfectly into the schedule.
Fightful also reports that WWE has sketched its plans to hold a Brand Extension Draft in 2020, several times. But they are yet to 'pull the plug' on them. They previously wanted to run it in June, but that didn’t go as planned. Then they changed the date to August, and then probably to September.
