So much can happen during the draft. So much. It can split up alliances, it can break up a well-oiled manager-client alliance or a terrific tag team. It can shift champions and hence shift the landscape of the company.
Many Superstars will be affected for long during the draft and when it is finally over. The aftermath of which may be quite a task to follow through with. If Enzo is taken away from Cass or vice versa, they’ll be affected.
If Lana is taken away from Rusev or vice versa – they’ll be affected. If Charlotte is taken away, some women may not get a chance at fighting for the championship.

But there are some who won’t be affected much with the brand split.
Here are 5 of them:
Brock Lesnar
Lesnar won’t be affected by whichever brand he’s drafted into but the brand will definitely be affected by his presence. He will still follow his part- time schedule and he will still have Paul Heyman by his side as his personal manager.
The Beast Incarnate will still be raising hell and probably ratings while he’s at it. This brand split isn’t going to change anything for him. He beat people up before and he’ll still keep beating up people and be a force to be reckoned with, wherever he goes.
Dean Ambrose
Ambrose’s reign hasn’t been as great as his victory. This can be said about most reigns as any sort of champion. But this championship reign as spectacular as it was on its arrival hasn’t been as spectacular in its journey and he’s there right now.
WWE is building up to a feud between Reigns and Rollins - arguably touted as the Superstars to lead whichever brand they’re going to be drafted to, most probably the same one. Ambrose on the other hand, win or lose his title, will still be the mad man we’ve all come to adore, will still crawl through crap to get what he wants and will still be a maestro on the mic. Being on whichever brand doesn’t really affect much for him.
Roman Reigns
The only thing affecting Reigns right now is his suspension. So much so that it is rumored that Vince McMahon is really upset with him and is souring on his push. But that doesn’t mean that he’ll stop being a marquee guy.
The company has invested much in him from letting that happen. He’s main evented two WrestleMania’s already which were set in order to make him the heir apparent. That push might or might not go to someone else but he’s still going to be a relevant performer. He’s a guy people pay attention to, love him or hate him. Whichever show he goes to, he won’t really be sidelined.
Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler is and always has been one of the most premier workhorses for the WWE. Out there for every match with his best selling game on. Be it a glorified squash or an underdog moment or putting a new guy over- he’s the right guy for it all.
He can do that on Raw and he can do that on Smackdown. He is one of the most recognizable names in wrestling today. He’s much like The Miz - great at what he does even if he’s doing something that is relevant or pointless. Him being drafted won’t really change much or affect him much in any way.
Cesaro
Just like Ziggler, Cesaro is one of the best workhorses the company has and despite the fact that he hasn’t won many championships, he gives everyone in attendance and watching on many screens worldwide, beautifully constructed, spectacular matches.
That isn’t going to change with the split at all. He’s not even in an alliance with anyone, neither is he a champion and neither is he involved in a great feud at the moment.What he’s been doing in one brand will be the same thing he’ll be doing in the other.
