WWE Draft Evaluation – Three Months On

Guest contributor, Mark Conlon of WrasslinAsylum joins us @ Suplex Retweet to give us his evaluation of how the WWE draft has impacted the landscape of the company, three months on from the historic first Smackdown Live where the draft took place.

Looking back at the opening 3 months of the WWE draft, my overall feeling is that it has been a success. My first plus point is midcard players are starting to get a bit more time on the mic and in the ring, to show what they are worth. The primary example being The Miz and Dolph Ziggler, who are producing both great promos and equally great performances in the ring, culminating in the great match at No Mercy last Sunday. The crowd reaction alone was enough to tell you everyone bought into this feud.

On both sides it has been great to see the platform the women have been given. Adding another women’s title gives both sides a platform to showcase the talent WWE have at there disposal.

The roster has been growing and growing for months with familiar faces returning and talent making the step up from NXT. so an additional live show can only be a good thing for us fans. One thing I would like to improve on both sides would be the tag team division, the Usos heel turn is a great start. The tag team division is absolutely stacked with talent, however Gallows and Anderson are being wasted on raw, although the attack on Enzo and Cass this past week on raw is promising. Give these guys a run with the titles and let’s see them become the formidable partnership we know they are.

American Alpha are the future of the tag team division and I don’t think it will be long before they get there hands on the Smackdown gold. The only other thing I would hope for would be that title reigns last a bit longer. Titles are being passed about with no one holding onto a singles title for longer than a few months.Just a small thing that has been bugging me but other than that it’s be a decent start post draft.
