How did WWE handle its recent Draft?
Former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas has shared his answer.
During the latest recording of his own Reffin' Rant series, Korderas told viewers "So, apparently, the draft is done and in the books. But why tease something before the draft and not have it happen during the draft? On the shows before the draft, they tease, ‘Oh, the Street Profits are coming out! They could be broken up during the draft!" Jimmy continued "This group could be broken up during the draft! And then when they’re announcing all the draft picks for Raw and SmackDown, they’re drafting entire groups: The Judgment Day, The LWO, tag teams are being drafted together." Korderas closed by asking "Why tease that this could be the last time this tag team teams together because they could be drafted to separate brands and have to abide by sticking to that brand and have the draft when they’re actually drafting the entire team or groups together? And free agents that can go to any show? I thought that was supposed to be against the rules of the draft?"
The Raw commentary team mentioned that the Street Profits "could be teaming together for the last time" repeatedly on the April 24th edition of Monday Night Raw, before drafting both Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford to Smackdown on Night One of the 2023 WWE Draft.
