WWE Draft 2019: 4 Things that the company must accomplish in the upcoming draft

As is usually the case when there are roster changes in the WWE, the moves that are made are done with the idea that they are the best thing possible for the company and its brands. Some moves make sense, like moving big names as was the case in the Superstar Shake-up from earlier this year.

By swapping AJ Styles and Roman Reigns, each man was given a fresh start on a new show. The possibility of potential feuds opened up and each show maintained one of the top stars in the WWE.

Because so much is set to change on this Friday's SmackDown and next week's RAW, there are things that WWE must accomplish through all of the roster moves. They might be under the radar moves or big moves like multiple big names joining a particular division. But the WWE needs a home run in the draft after recent events (Brock Lesnar squashing Kofi Kingston and the ending to Hell in a Cell) haven't been met with the greatest of receptions. These four things must be accomplished in the upcoming draft.

#4 Replenish both tag team divisions

The RAW Tag Team Champions, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler

Over the last few years, the RAW tag team division has been a mixed bag of actual teams and makeshift alliances. While teams such as The Usos, AOP and The Revival have been on RAW, we have also had teams like Chad Gable and Robert Roode, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt and even Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins.

If those teams stayed together longer than a mere PPV cycle then everything would be fine. But as is often the case, those makeshift teams often disband rather quickly for one reason or another. That often leaves the division of either show in a tough spot. WWE has relied on The Usos, The New Day, The Revival and The Bar as the top teams on either show, but when a member of those teams gets hurt or is on a hiatus for whatever reason, it depletes the division.

WWE need to keep The Usos and The New Day apart from each other rather than totally stacking one show's tag division. Since Roode & Ziggler are the current champs, they should stay on RAW. A division with The Usos, The Good Brothers, The Authors of Pain, The Viking Raiders and the Street Profits should help Monday nights.

For the blue brand, they can keep The New Day, The Revival, Luke Harper & Erick Rowan, Heavy Machinery and the B-Team. Stars like Cesaro and Apollo Crews could also be put into teams if they aren't going to get singles pushes. The fact is that they have enough teams on the roster to balance things out if they are smart with how they move teams around.

#3 Make the RAW women's division much better

The Man

Just as the tag team divisions were unbalanced after the Superstar Shake-up, so was the fate of the RAW women's division. Becky Lynch ended up being the top star after winning both titles at WrestleMania. But it was apparent that RAW needed her more than SmackDown.

Since May, the lineup for Monday nights has consisted of Lynch, Natalya, Lacey Evans, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. Naomi also came over to the red brand during the shake-up but has been off TV recently. The Wildcard Rule filled in the blanks but the main problem was that Ronda Rousey left after losing at WrestleMania, Sasha Banks was missing in action and Nia Jax got hurt. Those were three huge blows to what could have been a great division.

In complete contrast, SmackDown was loaded with Bayley and Ember Moon joining the likes of Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Carmella, Fire & Desire and The IIconics. Now that Lynch is the biggest star in the company, she might be headed to SmackDown where old friend/foe Charlotte Flair is the new champion.

If that does come to fruition, the likes of Asuka, Kairi Sane, Ember Moon and Carmella need to move to Monday nights. They could even break up Fire & Desire or move them both to RAW. RAW needs reinforcements badly and if Flair doesn't move and Lynch does, they'll need the aforementioned stars desperately.

#2 Split stars based on how well they fit in with the characteristics of either brand

The Fiend

FOX reportedly wants SmackDown to have a more athletic feel instead of storylines that are too character-driven. That means SmackDown is likely to be loaded up with great in-ring workers such as Buddy Murphy, Ali, Andrade, Chad Gable, Kofi Kingston and Daniel Bryan. If those men all stay on Friday nights, then it will help propel the notion that SmackDown is more about the action rather than the questionable storylines such as the one involving Bobby Lashley and Lana currently.

In contrast to SmackDown's mission statement of action, RAW is better suited for crazier storylines and Superstars that require a little more time to work their gimmicks. Stars such as Lacey Evans, The Fiend, Aleister Black, Braun Strowman and Shinsuke Nakamura seem better suited for Monday nights due to presentation needs. Strowman is always used for feats of strength which are better suited to the show with three hours.

The Fiend and Black have long entrances that require time. With only two hours instead of three to work with, those entrances don't fit the best on SmackDown.

#1 Move stars that deserve more chances

The Scottish Psychopath

When Ember Moon and Bayley were moved to SmackDown, it was great for them due to Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch having a stranglehold on the RAW women's division. While Bayley eventually won the SmackDown Women's Championship, Moon only received a title shot at SummerSlam and has lost more matches than she's won since.

Another big name that was destined for big things but who hasn't achieved anything great is Drew McIntyre. He returned to the WWE a year and a half ago and stated that he wanted to end the complacency in the locker room and win the Universal Championship. I don't think either goal has really been accomplished. Since McIntyre had a disappointing run as Shane McMahon's lackey instead of a dangerous star, he should hopefully get a fresh start on Friday Night SmackDown.

He's one of the few stars who could and should believably dethrone Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, but it's still unclear as to what the WWE wants to accomplish with another Lesnar title reign. If divisions on one show are too top-heavy with big names that always get chances (Baron Corbin, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Lesnar) then others who are ready for a big jump will continue to wait.

SmackDown, in all likelihood, is going to become loaded with bigger names, so we could see another women's division with both Flair and Lynch. That doesn't bode well for the chances of the rest of the women on Friday nights. By moving the likes of Asuka and Kairi Sane on RAW, the duo will have more opportunities.
