So who does everyone expect to be the new GMs of raw and smackdown. I can see triple h or William regal taking control of raw and Daniel Bryan control one smackdown, I don't know if Bryan is ready for that sort of role yet but being back part of WWE via the CWC shows he is more comfortable being around wrestling again. Bryan is the sort of guy to bring viewers to smackdown and prior to his retirement he did speak about wanting to rejuvenate smackdown.

It was announced on RAW that Stephanie will be "Commissioner" of RAW and Shane of Smackdown.

Note, this still leaves room for a GM of both.

Please leave Regal with NXT, he's doing a top job there

He is but after the brand spilt it's hard to know exactly what NXT will be and should triple H not be one of the GM's regal makes sense to be Steph's pick, the other option that makes sense is Bischoff but he seemed to pretty much say he was done with wrestling on legends with JBL.

Bischoff is appearing on WCPW in August, so any tiny chance of it being him on RAW is basically gone now. Would've marked out hard if his theme hit as Steph was introducing her GM, though.


Haven't watched SD in at least three or four years, yet this brand split actually has me looking forward to an episode of it, and thankfully Fox 8 will have it live.

First episode of the CWC was pretty great. If only we could get the same consistent quality that NXT, and now the CWC, are producing on the main roster.

They put on some good matches, Nakamura vs Balor was fantastic also thou I don't know if Nakamura will top the zayn match in his NXT run. Next weeks NXT looks to have good matches too with Bayley vs Nia Jax, AA vs Authors of Pain and Joe vs Rhyno. Looks like it will be Jaxs last NXT match with rumours of her going up to the main roster with Balor as part of the brand spilt, I really hope Nia Jax is not Sasha Banks mystery partner at battleground surely that will be Bayley with her moving up to the main roster full time after summer slam.

Sasha's partner will be Bayley or Paige, Jax coming from a heel on NXT doesn't make much sense... So it actually wouldn't be that surprising.

I don't get why Jax would be going up anyway she is not ready particularly when it comes to in ring skills. Also they already have to many heels on the main roster the only faces they have are Sasha, Becky Lynch and Paige.

Interesting to see who the NXT picks will be I would assume Balor, Bayley, Nia Jax than maybe American Alpha after that it's hard to see who would be the other two picks since Samoa Joe is champ and not going anywhere and Nakamura is preobably not coming up till his program with Joe is finished. Interesting to note too that the WWE does not include the Lucha Dragons as a tag team rather sin cara and Kalisto are listed as singles competitors.

Daniel Bryan as the SD GM was a surprise to no one considering WWE accidentally spoilt that one already, Foley on RAW was a bit of a surprise though. Though it was HHH for all money, while holding out a secret little hope that it was Bischoff.

Sorry, don't know how to do spoilers now that we have changed the forum (Big Pete, Mis, please update if you feel necessary).

Going forward from the draft, there will be a new Title:






































































Raw will be host to the Cruiserweight division, and a relaunched Cruiserweight Title.

Some interesting moves in the draft:

- Finn Balor to Raw, possibly reuniting with Gallows & Anderson
- Styles to SmackDown splits up "The Club"
- Pretty much all the NXT talent expected to be called up were, with the exception of Bailey (could still happen on the Network)
- At the moment, Bray Wyatt has no family
