5 most surprising WWE Draft Picks From Day 1: Big botch with tag team, Lashley gets undeserving spot? (October 11th, 2019)

#4. Drafting Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross separately...to the same brand

When Alexa Bliss was drafted in the 3rd round without Nikki Cross, the assumption was that they were being abruptly separated. That didn't make much sense since their storyline with the Kabuki Warriors has just shifted gears this week.

It made even lesser sense when Nikki Cross was drafted by herself to RAW in the 4th round. One of the basic rules stated about the Draft was that Tag Teams could be sent together unless the Network Executives decide to split them.

That didn't happen. So why exactly were they not drafted as a tag team when they are one? Did they want to give Alexa Bliss an individual spotlight? Or did they just want to tease that they could break up but then not go through with it?

It didn't seem that well thought out and the bigger problem here is that it was a complete waste of one spot. That spot could easily have gone to a superstar like Cesaro who was forgotten about.
