5 Past mistakes that should be avoided at the WWE Draft 2021

#3. Splitting up of top tag teams in the WWE Draft

There are certain occasions when splitting teams up in the WWE Draft can work. Take for example The New Day's split in 2020. They were a month shy of completing six years together, but the Draft resulted in Big E staying on SmackDown, while Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods moved to RAW.

Luckily, there was no chair shot to the back nor was there any backstabbing. This allowed the faction to quietly reunite when Big E won the WWE title and moved to the Red brand in September 2021.

However, there are more cases where the company has incorrectly split tag teams in the Draft. Take, for example, The Dudley Boyz in 2002. It marked the start of a singles run for both Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley, but it was clear that they were better together.

They would reunite later in the same year as well. In 2021, there are no tag teams that should be split by the Draft. Perhaps T-Bar and Mace of RETRIBUTION could, but it doesn't feel necessary either. 2020 and The New Day's split via the WWE Draft was perfectly timed because Big E was ready for singles stardom at that point.
