4 bold predictions for WWE in August: Paul Heyman turns on Brock Lesnar, a long-awaited return?

#1 A brand new draft and end of the Wildcard rule

When you think about the three biggest mistakes WWE has made this year, the Wildcard rule will come to your mind for sure. The frequency with which RAW superstars are appearing on SmackDown and vice-versa it is quite easy to forget that any brand split even exists.

With the appointment of Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff as the Executive Directors of RAW and SmackDown respectively, there have been talks of a new draft for both the brands after SummerSlam. Both of these gentlemen could take the center stage and properly build their new rosters.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

A decision of this magnitude would surely be huge for WWE and would be an indication that the responsibilities are being given to others. As much as we love the likes of Drew McIntyre, Alexa Bliss, and even AJ Styles, it would be better for everyone to stick to their brand only.

The draft could also set up a proper RAW vs SmackDown theme for this year's Survivor Series PPV. Who do you think would be in Team Heyman and Team Bischoff?
