#2. Hope is true: Plans for another draft

When will The Wild Card end?
When will The Wild Card end?

The Wild Card rule has negatively affected the WWE product more than it should have. The fact of the matter is that the post-WrestleMania product hasn't been as bad as in previous years.

There are a lot of fresh faces and new names being pushed to the forefront, with a different direction perfectly clear. Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue had reported last month that WWE was planning to slowly phase out the Wild Card rule and that may happen before SmackDown moves to FOX.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter had reported that WWE is likely planning a draft sometime before SmackDown makes the jump to FOX. He said:

Right now there is a concept of another draft type of thing to build permanent Raw and Smackdown rosters. What we were originally told is that they wouldn't be making major changes, but some changes, but this is Vince. Everything is being kept quiet, and USA and FOX will be the first to know when the concept is decided.

We hope this is true because the distinction between the two brands needs to be re-established and the Wild Card rule needs to end. Each brand needs its own identity again and the draft would be a perfect way to set the roster.
