Koko Ware (no B) stiffs the shit out of Bootleg Patriot (with Jim Cornette on commentary). Also, a Ken Patera match featuring the greatest, most baffling sell of a turnbuckle head-smash spot I've ever seen.

 
Currently I'm watching the Draft Center on the WWE Network and it is incredibly entertaining, solely because Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens and Enzo and Cass have spent a good deal of time bantering with the Panel.

However, it seems to me that RAW has gotten a lot of the best picks here, including some of the strongest tag teams and women.

Eva Marie confirmed for more desirable draft pick than Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe or Bayley! at least in kayfaybe

On an unrelated topic Lucha Underground's Ultima Lucha Dos has been really great, can't wait for the finale.

They brought up Mojo Rawley instead of Bayley. Yeah.

In any case, they brought up some of the best people from NXT, obviously Balor and American Alpha are great, but you also have people like Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss. I like Jax because she's something different and poor Summer Rae is going to get the hell beaten out of her when it comes to jobbing to that giant.

As for Alexa Bliss, not only is she a great heel, she has the most adorable pouty face when she doesn't get her way. Fortunately she renamed her finisher from 'The Sparkle Splash' to 'Twisted Bliss,' because I'll be damned if I'm having Charlotte or Sasha Banks get pinned with the fucking Sparkle Splash.

As for what this all means for NXT, it's hard to tell. All three of the women drafted were excellent hands in the ring and all of them were near the NXT Women's title picture, leaving only Bayley really. They'll need to start building some new stars there. As for the guys, I think most people saw American Alpha and Finn Balor getting ready to go, the tag and men's division is deep enough that they still have lots of matchups they can do.
 
I think they'll push Liv Morgan as one of the new faces of the NXT women's division... it's been on the horizon for a while. Also, they recently hired Nikki Storm (can't remember her NXT name) so... well, I think they will manage just fine.

This is the great thing about NXT, they force themselves to build new stars, so... in a way, they are kinda used to it. Which makes it all even more sad when someone talented as Tyler Breeze gets jobbed out on the main roster.

The draft had some weird choices, IMO.... I don't get why they would keep Cena and Orton on the same brand at this point. Also, it was the perfect time to separate Zayn and Owens (they should be kept apart for a while in order to make it special when they inevitably fight again).

Because apparently Vince believes that fans still want to see Cena vs Orton. For the ten gazillionth time.
 
What I don't get is why split the Wyatt Family? Separating AJ Styles from the Club made sense since he and Cena can feud without interference and the Club can continue with Finn Balor. As for the Wyatts, it may be that two of them will be on RAW (Strowman and Harper) and two on Smackdown (Wyatt and Rowan) but it seems like another bad booking for this group.
 
As far as I remember, the guy running that account "retired" it or something.

But what about Test?
How will we know if he's still dead?

Well, If DDP picks him up in a few years and helps him recover, he isn't dead. If it doesn't happen, then he is gone.

That account will be missed... but "How long has JTG been employed by the WWE" was the real MVP. Best countdown ever. Speaking of which, I can't recommend his books enough. Very funny stuff and he doesn't sound bitter at all.
