The Good Tier, But They Moved

And finally we’re going to end this ranking with the People Who Moved Brands, And It Was Good the best part of any draft, where their announcement fills you with a vague sense of excitement and hope for the future.

The New SmackDown Tag Division

Starting with the SmackDown tag division, which has got a whole bunch more exciting with the assimilation of Viking Raiders, Humberto Carillo & Angel Garza, and Mansoor & Ali, all incredibly athletic and underutilized teams, all of which could run against the Usos immediately and create some magic.

Liv Morgan To Raw

One of the most underrated performers in recent memory Liv Morgan will be looking to keep the momentum she had on smackdown, rolling on Raw.

---

Ricochet to SmackDown

And bloody hell if there’s a superstar who needs some quick smackdown rehabilitation, it’s Ricochet. Can we have him vs. Cesaro on pay-per-view, please? Please we’ve been ever so good.

---

Mia Yim To Raw

Congratulations to Mia Yim, who’ll be making her debut on Raw, a show that she has NEVER APPEARED ON BEFORE. SHE HAS NEVER APPEARED ON BEFORE.

---

Sheamus & Ridge Holland To SmackDown

Sheamus is joining his former Barmate, big tony on Smackdown, can’t wait to see Shamo mixing it up with bruisers like, for example, Ridge Holland, who’s also been drafted from NXT to SmackDown.

Pete Dunne doesn’t need a tag partner anyway.

---

Drew Gulak To SmackDown

Another perpetually underrated star, Drew Gulak is moving from Raw to SmackDown, which absolutely feels like a better fit for him.

---

Finn Balor To Raw

Finn Balor is turning tail and running to Raw, before Roman Reigns sics god on his ass again, and Finn I’m so sorry. Maybe the demon will be treated better over there.

---

Kevin Owens To Raw

Monday Night Owens is back on the air, with KO headed back to Raw, which is getting a pretty fantastic main event scene, with Seth Rollins, and Edge both heading to the red side of the tracks. 

---

Drew McIntyre To SmackDown

Honestly, the SmackDown main event scene is looking a little bit barren post-draft, so thank god at least one challenger for Roman’s title has entered the arena, as Drew McIntyre is headed to SmackDown for the first time since his return to the company. 

---

Hit Row To SmackDown

Something that we all can celebrate, as they’re absolutely amazing, is Hit Row is moving to SmackDown in its entirety. That is awesome, please don’t ruin them, WWE.

---

Bianca Belair To Raw

Bianca Belair is heading to Raw for the first time, chasing Becky Lynch, who we assume she’s absolutely not finished with. Really awesome to see the EST be picked so quickly.

---

Shayna Baszler To SmackDown

Shayna Baszler will hopefully continue her much-needed ruthless aggression as she heads over to SmackDown, although in kayfabe it’s not entirely clear why the SmackDown GMs are so eager to sign someone who’s set on breaking all their talents arms.

---

Becky Lynch To Raw & Charlotte Flair To SmackDown

Sticking with the women’s division, perhaps the most interesting story coming out of the draft is that Smackdown Women’s champ Becky Lynch and Raw Women’s Champ Charlotte are swapping brands.

What does this mean for their respective belts, will they be dropping them, maybe at Crown Jewel, or will they do a physical swap like Street Profits and New Day did. I hope not that one.

---

Big E To Raw

And finally, ending on a true high, Big E may have been separated from his besties one more time, but he’s been officially drafted to be the main man on WWE’s flagship show, and that’s f**king wonderful news.

Good for Big E. Long may he reign.
