#1. The WWE Draft shouldn't move superstars who have momentum on one brand

There have been numerous cases over the years where the WWE Draft has resulted in moves that shouldn't have been made. Although there isn't always a rational explanation for it, some superstars are more suited to a certain brand than others.

Compare the runs that AJ Styles has had on SmackDown and RAW. He is a superstar suited to the Blue brand and his accomplishments over the years have put him in an elite territory with the likes of Edge, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, The Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, etc.

When looking at the current roster for an example of superstars with momentum, look to United States Champion Damian Priest. He has had incredible momentum on RAW, and the company has handled him well throughout 2021.

Does this mean that he should move to SmackDown in the Draft this year? Absolutely not. When certain superstars are thriving in one brand, it doesn't make sense to change what's already working.

Although there are exceptions, moving a superstar to another brand while they still have momentum can be a recipe for failure. Hopefully, that doesn't happen in the WWE Draft this year.
