Opinion: That is the second half of the Draft and now we are in for an interesting future from WWE. While there were several names who did not move to a different show, there were enough changes, including the fresh names from NXT, who could spice things up a bit. What matters is getting things going now that WrestleMania is over and hopefully things get to go in a fresh direction.
