5 biggest mistakes WWE made with this year's Draft

An end of an era that never needed to happen.

#2 WWE splitting up the The New Day

It's certainly a "New Day" in WWE right now, and not one that the members of the WWE Universe are happy about. WWE chose to split The New Day in the Draft, sending Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods over to Monday Night RAW while Big E remained on Friday Night SmackDown.

This is a head-scratcher for sure, and it harkens back to the point of the lack of logic in this Draft. Why would RAW and the USA Network not want all three members of The New Day? What does splitting up the group do for them? Furthermore, even if there was a good reason for splitting them, wouldn't it have been more beneficial to RAW to take all three members and then later trade Big E back to SmackDown for a talent they were unable to draft before SmackDown did? That at least make more sense in the grand scheme of things.

In the most shocking moment of the night, #TheNewDay was drafted to different brands as @AustinCreedWins & @TrueKofi are headed to #WWERaw & @WWEBigE is staying on #SmackDown.#ThankYouNewDay #WWEDraft pic.twitter.com/w4GeS1getc

The rumored reasoning from the WWE camp of separating the group to allow Big E to shine as a singles competitor also doesn't make any sense. Kofi Kingston, as part of The New Day, enjoyed a six-month title reign as the WWE World Champion on SmackDown while still very much being part of The New Day as a group.

So why did WWE make this decision? No one knows as of yet, and shock value may be the reason. But for the sake of something like that, WWE broke up arguably one of the most popular groups in the history of the company. It wasn't worth it, and now the WWE Universe must impatiently await the day where they admit their mistake and reunite The New Day, perhaps sometime in 2021.
