Apparently the ref reviewed the tape backstage and declared a 'draw'

I guess that kinda makes sense. Rollins will be the number 1 pick and they couldn't pick him coming off a loss or not looking stronger than Ambrose.

I've really tried to get into Ambrose as a great wrestler...but I just can't. I don't know, it just doesn't feel like he has 'it'. Anyone else feel this way?

I've never seen a match he was involved in and thought, "Wow, that was awesome!". Except for the ladder match recently, which he was barely involved with.

Come back Kurt.

They picked to 2 baby face GMs. That's a change from the usual heel GMs.

I didn't watch but who won the title match. You would think the champion is the number 1 pick right?

I'm fully expecting a Daniel Bryan heel turn at some point.

Bayley and balor tonight?

Bayley and balor tonight?

I've read Bayley, Balor, American Alpha, Nia Jax, Tye Dillinger, and Nakamura. Interested to see what actually happens

I also expect Bayley to be Sasha Banks' partner on Sunday

def finn, bayley, joe, aries and i was thinking possibly shinsuke

If Nakamura is drafted and not Joe, I wonder if that spoils the results of his match with Joe at Takeover: Brooklyn in August.

I'd say probably yeah, but I will still be able to really enjoy it

Wonder where CENA gets drafted.

This was one of the few things that stood out last night that wasn't draft/gm related

The 12th Man hashtag in the upper left?

That was a quick first 5 picks

I didn't realize Lawler was doing heel announce work again. That's a reason to tune into Smackdown right there!

Why hasn't CENA been drafted?

Because Styles > Cena

Okay that Orton pick makes NO sense

-- Other notes: injured superstars such as Luke Harper are not listed and Paul Heyman is strangely not listed with Brock Lesnar (as other managers are).

HHH? Taker?

Don't think either is eligible

I got the list from the press release but note that Finn Balor was not listed in the initial release. I believe they release a list of 15 NXT star who was also eligible but haven't seen that list.

Raw will still be the A show and Smackdown the B based off early picks

So are they free agents? Retired? Both shows?

Maybe, but I'll tune in for Ambrose and Styles over Rollins and Reigns

Cena is going to Smackdown so that's the A show.

Kane has a big belly now

A little early don't you think?
RAW
Brock Lesnar - Wrestle like once every 4 months .. but A+ lvl Star when he is on
Finn Balor - NXT superstar who has been battling injuries. TBD
Roman Reigns - Welfare suspended while wearing the belt .. A lvl Star
Seth Rollins - A+ star .. who doesn't like him
The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) Tag Team Champions - A .. best tag team for entertainment value... can't believe how much I like them now.. hated them when they started their stick.
Charlotte WWE Women's Champion - one of the best woman wrestler A- .. still haven't got the draw but is working on it.

Smackdown
AJ Styles .. A+ the guy is awesome in ring and on the mic
Dean Ambrose WWE Champion - A+ he is the main reason I watch wrestling right now
John Cena - A .. solid performer and great on the mic .. people are tire of his gimic but still respect him
Randy Orton - A .. been hurt a lot .. but Randy is a great performer

So pretty even so far I would say

Smackdown has chosen everybody I want to see if you trade Cena for New Day

And also orton for anybody but Roman

If she wasn't tweeting I was about to say "5 bucks Bayley shows up in the handicap boss match"

My issue is I find Stephanie really hot but super annoying but the never been a fan of Orton or Ambrose.

Also, going forward Rollins will probably win the belt and Lesnar will beat Orton at Summerslam. That might change with his doping issue but it's likely going to be 2-0 Raw.

Becky Lynch.
