WWE Draft position: No. 16

The final pick on Night One of the 2020 WWE Draft to move across brands was also the most notable one, as The New Day was broken up. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship from Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura, before Stephanie McMahon announced that they would be moving to RAW.

Meanwhile, Big E remains on SmackDown. This allows him to properly go on his singles run, with a likely change in presentation on the way. WWE could also have a very specific plan for Woods and Kingston on the Red brand.

Having the SmackDown Tag Team Champions moving to RAW was certainly a notable move, possibly one with a purpose. With both tag team titles on RAW, as long as The Street Profits remain intact, WWE could end up unifying them sooner rather than later. It would be a much-needed move.

There are other things the drafted duo could do on RAW, with feuds against The Hurt Business and RETRIBUTION being real possibilities. Mustafa Ali in particular might have an ax to grind with Kofi Kingston, as his real-life injury opened the door for The New Day member to go after the WWE Championship on the road to WrestleMania in 2019.

This roster move is the best one of the 2020 WWE Draft so far, provided the company has some plans in store for Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods. That is likely to be the case, as breaking up one of the greatest teams in WWE history is no small matter and has to come with a purpose.
