2020 WWE Draft results: SmackDown and Raw rosters, picks, all undrafted superstars
As WWE remains its true brand split into the additional season of its new television contracts, it has now undone its latest WWE Draft to shake up the rosters of its two main shows. The current began Friday night on SmackDown and concluded Monday night on Raw with every superstar on both rosters available for selection.
There were 84 picks (men, women, tag teams and groups) over the two-day current with Raw, a three-hour show, getting three picks for every two for SmackDown. WWE initially rapid those superstars into two pools in orderly to ensure that the company's biggest stars understood as attractions over the two-day draft.
The suited night of the draft, taking place Friday during SmackDown on Fox, featured four of WWE's six singles champions as eligible draftees, thought all remained on their respective brands. The new two -- Bayley (SmackDown women's) and Sami Zayn (intercontinental) -- were up for selection Monday during Raw on USA Network; they both been on SmackDown.
Though the initial Fox-USA Network current in 2019 received mostly negative reviews -- it was largely uninteresting and left the rosters uneven -- WWE granted to use the same format with primary brand officer Stephanie McMahon announcing every pick in a commissioner-type role. Improvements were made this year as WWE did away with the pre-taped war room celebrations featuring cartoon robots and face-painted executives and focused on reactions from drafted superstars.
Now all that's left is to break down the WWE Draft selections and new rosters.
