This Tuesday should be great. Is there going to be any pre/post show for Tuesday when it come to the draft? I wanted to say I read something from WWE that they will, but I'm not sure.

Hey guys, my first post, was a member along time ago in the AFR-era, pre-WrestlingFigs.
Just wanted to say I'm excited for the draft, it's actually in my hometown and I'm going to the DCU Center in Worcester. Quite surprised that they're holding the event there and not in Boston at the TD Garden. The last relevant event we had, that has been forgotten overtime, was Backlash 2003 (Rock v Goldberg/Cena v Brock).
Quite excited though to get to experience a pretty big moment in history live!!! They're advertising on our local radio station 107.3 WAAF, they're stating Cena vs. Styles and Ambrose vs. Rollins. Not sure whether or not they're both dark matches or not.

No doubt that Finn, American Alpha and Bayley will be four of the NXT Superstars drafted. I wonder who else... Maybe Nia Jax is one also Somoa Joe

Ambrose and Rollins is the Main Event for the WWE Championship and Styles vs Cena is not advertised so it's probably a dark match

Only things I don't like here are splitting The Club and keeping Owens and Zayn together on the same show. Seems like Cena to Raw then. If Randy goes to Smackdown then surely Cena will go to Raw. The NXT picks are going to be big roster boosters I think.

So i guess Becky/Nattie becomes the diva version of Orton/Cena

The 3:2 ratio on picks is garbage and it's everything I feared about this from the on-set. Raw is already established as having a firmly superior vantage point. They get the first pick, they get an extra pick in every round, they have an extra hour of showtime. If they're so concerned about making sure Raw has a larger roster, give them an extra pick in the supplemental portion of the draft where they take the lower-card guys to fill out the show. Don't broadcast inherent bias on television.
The whole purpose of this was to hit the reset button and create two equal shows, and it's blatantly obvious that isn't happening. WWE has already sent their message, loud and clear: Raw is superior.

Raw needs more wrestlers because it's a longer show. It's simple math.
There's no reason Smackdown can't be a lean, mean, kick ass machine, while Raw stays a bloated worthless mess. We shall have to wait and see...

We shall have to wait and see... Totally agree. It makes sense too. What Stephanie can do in 3 hours Shane can do just as good in 2.

The Lucha Dragons have announced they will enter the Draft as Singles competitors as per Facebook Live.

I expect SD to become WWE's version of NXT. I know NXT is already a WWE product, but you know what I mean. Smaller roster that focuses on great in ring action to carry the show.

- RAW has the first overall pick I agree with this rule. "With the first pick of the 2016 WWE Draft, Raw selects...WWE Champion, Dean Ambrose!!" - Every two picks for Smackdown = 3 picks for Raw since Raw is a longer show Smackdown needs to be 3 hours. I don't care about people who complain that Raw is too long, as long as the WWE is making money off of the extra hour. They can make more money by giving the Blue show an extra hour, so why not?? - Tag Teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team Tag Teams should never be split up due to the draft. They should count as 2 picks, but should not be broken up. If anything, there should be a separate Tag Team draft. - Six draft picks will be made from the NXT roster There should not be a set number of NXT draft picks. Again, they could and maybe should have a separate NXT draft. Here’s my 2016 WWE Fantasy Draft Rosters. fantasy-draft.wwe.com/#/shared/fc72ccfd01314b6b13857b74de23d515Following the rules the WWE has in place, I have 48 SuperStars for Raw and 25 SuperStars for Smackdown, which almost gives it a 2 to 1 ratio. Reversing my own ideas of who should be where, I put all of the former WWE and World Champions, as well as all of the former WWE Women’s and Divas Champions on Smackdown, to give the Blue Brand the name recognition it needs to “compete” with the Red Brand. I put everyone else on Raw, to give them their opportunity to shine on the main stage and prove themselves on the Flagship show. In the WWE video games, I always do the complete opposite, but this time, I feel that this is the way to go and would benefit both the newer talent, by putting them on the “A-Show”, as well as the “B-Show”, by having the established Stars. What do you think??

We shall have to wait and see... Sure, give them more guys on the lower end of the scale, not in the first several rounds of picks. It gives Raw the advantage and it spells out superiority to the audience.
