5 biggest mistakes WWE made with this year's Draft

Why would either brand draft a group that wants to destroy them?

#1 WWE drafting RETRIBUTION, period

We close this piece with easily the biggest mistake WWE made in the 2020 Draft. This one was honestly a no brainer, yet the company did it anyway. They actually included the group known as RETRIBUTION, and were selected by the RAW brand.

This, of course, is the very group that has stated on countless occasions that they are there to destroy their employer. It was bad enough weeks back when WWE gave the group official RAW contracts — it didn't make any sense and still doesn't. But they had a chance to get RETRIBUTION back on track by not drafting them, and WWE did it anyway.

WWE could have used their very own Draft rules to their advantage this year. With RAW and SmackDown both putting their foot down and saying they wanted nothing to do with RETRIBUTION, it would have made this outlaw group free agents within the company like they should've remained to begin with.

Fans wouldn't know where and when they were going to show up and that would add to the intrigue and dangerous nature of this group. Instead, RAW not only gave them contracts weeks ago, they also drafted them weeks later. It's as if to say, "we want you to destroy our show and the company so you can put RAW out of business."

It's really not difficult to have things make sense in professional wrestling. While there were others, had WWE just managed to avoid these five mistakes during the 2020 Draft maybe people would have remembered this event more fondly. Instead, it will be remembered as the night where the company once again shot itself in the foot for no good reason, and you hate to see that.
