WWE Draft 2020: 5 things that must happen - New rule change, Roman Reigns' brand destination

#2 The 2020 WWE Draft must have surprises in the Draft Pools

The 2019 Draft lacked surprises

Last year, WWE announced one day before the 2019 WWE Draft that the two-night extravaganza would feature two different Draft Pools. One group of 20 Superstars and tag teams found out their brand destination on SmackDown, while another 30 were drafted on RAW.

This made a change from the one-night WWE Draft in 2016, which essentially ranked the whole WWE roster from most wanted (#1 pick Seth Rollins) to least wanted (#59 pick Carmella).

Now, while the 2019 WWE Draft format certainly made a nice change from the chaotic Superstar Shake-Up system, the Draft Pools announcement meant there was no room for surprises on either night of the Draft.

Imagine if WWE released a list of all 30 participants for both the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches one day before the event. Granted, the WWE Draft is not as important as the Royal Rumble, but that is essentially what happened before the Draft last year.

If WWE goes ahead with the Draft Pools idea again in 2020, perhaps it would be wise to throw a couple of to-be-confirmed Superstars into the mix.
