Halfway there. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster, it can be difficult to find something for all of them to do. One of the most effective ways to fix things is to shake things up a bit, which WWE has done multiple times over the years. There are few ways to do this all at once, but we are in the middle of one of WWE’s most significant ways of changing things around.

That’s a big night. Check out some of the moments from the Draft:
Opinion: There were a lot of picks but only a few changes really seemed to make an impact. The biggest are probably Hayes and Breakker, though that isn’t exactly enough to make it a game changer. Maybe things will pick up even more on Monday, but for now, the first night of the Draft does not seem to be the biggest deal, with a lot of people just staying where they were before.
What do you think of the picks? Who do you want to go where on Monday? Let us know in the comments below.
