I’d make the WWE Draft great again.
One year, I’d have the Raw and SmackDown General Managers flip a coin to decide who gets the first pick. Then the following year, I’d switch it up and have matches decide who earns the next draft pick.
For example, Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes. If Roman wins, Raw gets the next draft pick. Raw picks their superstar, then SmackDown gets their pick. They do that up to three times, then we go into the next match and repeat the process. Maybe this time SmackDown wins, so SmackDown gets the first pick in the next round.
That makes the Draft feel like an actual competition instead of people just standing on a stage reading names.
Champions and injured superstars would be ineligible to be drafted, meaning titles do not randomly switch brands. The women’s division would also be ineligible unless the other brand is willing to give up the Cruiserweight division. If Raw wants to keep the women as its identity and SmackDown wants the Cruiserweights, then both brands need to protect what makes them different.
Or here’s another idea: whoever wins the Royal Rumble gets to main event WrestleMania and earns the number one draft pick for their brand. That gives the Rumble an extra layer beyond just the title match.
Survivor Series would matter too. In the Raw vs SmackDown elimination match, the winning team earns the number 30 spot in the Royal Rumble for their brand, while the person who gets eliminated last has to enter the Royal Rumble at number 1.
That way, the Draft, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania all connect. Wins matter. Losses matter. Brand loyalty matters. And the Draft becomes something fans actually want to watch again.
