9. Smackdown is going LIVE!
This could be one of the best things about the whole Draft, brand-split process. It's been nearly 17 years since SmackDown went live. The live experience has a special quality about itself, which creates a much more exciting show.
The live show will help the Blue Brand contend with the legitimacy of Raw, plus provide a more high-octane, no room for mistakes type of vibe that generally helps the event by keeping all of the performers on their toes. Compared to the pre-taped predecessor, the live show is almost magical.
