Unfortunately, Carmella and Truth were separated in the WWE Draft.

Both RAW and SmackDown were set up well in the most recent roster shake up. A lot of big names switched brands including Charlotte Flair, The Fiend, Randy Orton, and Sasha Banks. The main objective of the WWE Draft was to bolster each division. The tag team divisions are in better shape now than they were after WrestleMania 35.

The RAW Women's division was in dire need of some reinforcements and the draft provided it with just that. SmackDown's women's division was stacked before the draft but lost some depth to keep both divisions full of potential.

SmackDown might lack in some main-event power, especially if the current WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, continues his usual schedule of sporadic appearances and defenses. More trades could happen, but that is unlikely with things slated to return to normal operating procedures following the draft.

Although some of the grades given to RAW would suggest it won the draft, that is just a reflection of the potential in each division. It all comes down to how feuds and storylines are booked and if some newer stars are given chances.
