#6 Hit Row to SmackDown (No.11 in the WWE Draft 2021)

In one of the most interesting moves on Night One of the WWE Draft 2021, Hit Row has been picked to SmackDown. The faction has lit up NXT with its charisma and could do great things on the Blue brand.

However, this leaves a couple of problems with their recent booking. Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott is the NXT North American Champion but has not even defended the title once since winning it three months ago. He is likely to drop it to Santos Escobar, to end Hit Row's saga with Legado del Fantasma.

Meanwhile, B-Fab is barely experienced in the ring. She could have done with some more time on NXT. Nevertheless, WWE has something potentially special in Hit Row.


#5 Rey and Dominik Mysterio to RAW (No.14 in the WWE Draft 2021)

While every pick in the WWE Draft 2021 technically is too early to judge, The Mysterios' move to RAW truly feels that way. There is no indication of what Rey and Dominik Mysterio will be doing on the Red brand.

They could go after the Tag Team Championship or continue their dissension from SmackDown. The three-hour format gives more time for the father-son duo to tell a more effective story. Their television time has been quite limited recently.

Will Dominik turn against his dad on RAW? We shall find out.
