While the WWE Draft provides an opportunity to create distinct feuds on both RAW and SmackDown, it also creates problems for current storylines whose primary characters have been drafted to separate brands.

Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt have been embroiled in one of the most intriguing feuds in the past few months. The story hit a roadblock at Hell in a Cell 2019, thanks to an outrageous no-contest finish to their match inside the hellacious structure itself.

But fans haven't given up on this feud yet. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt has a lot of appeal left, as evident by chants and requests for him to appear during WWE's main roster shows like RAW and SmackDown.

Then again, because of the draft, Wyatt didn't make an appearance on last night's episode, which is fine in the sense that it doesn't break any draft rules. But in terms of storytelling, it is weird to build up a storyline between two wrestlers who are on separate shows.

Rollins faced Wyatt in a steel cage match after RAW, and it doesn't look like this feud is going to end anytime soon since both of them are advertised for future events as well.

The draft also leads to a possible spoiler here - Seth Rollins is unlikely to lose the Universal Title as the Red brand's primary championship can't just switch over to SmackDown (which already features the WWE Championship).

How will WWE manage to overcome these storytelling issues in the future?
