One of the best parts about the WWE Draft is surprises. We don't mean surprises specifically with regards to the picks, but in the shows in general. Although there is a lot of hype about the RAW after WrestleMania, SummerSlam, etc, one can make a case that the Draft includes the one or two most important episodes in the calendar year.

Here's why - the direction of each brand is set for more than a year, and it's where the build for long-term storylines for The Show of Shows begins as well. When there are major surprises in the Draft, they can shake up the landscape of their respective brand for a year or more.

Surprise picks in the WWE Draft are always welcome. It can be the superstar who hardly ever changes brands jumping ship, or it can be superstars who don't seem like a fit for the other brand changing as well - among others.

Although the company has to be careful with their picks, a few surprises need to happen on both SmackDown and RAW in the Draft episodes.
