5 reasons why WWE needs a 2022 mid-year draft

A second draft in a year might be the way for WWE to even things out on both shows.

#2. Some of WWE's current storylines are stale

WWE has had Drew McIntyre and Happy Corbin feud since the first day of 2022. McIntyre had a match with Madcap Moss and was "injured" by the duo later in the night.

The angle has continued and might lead to a WrestleMania match between Corbin and McIntyre. It's been going on for too long. While the angle between Reigns and Lesnar has had several twists and turns, it's been going on since last summer.

Having another draft will end these ongoing angles. It'll also provide fresh matchups for the months after The Show of Shows.


#1. Another WWE draft could help ease the taste of the mass releases of 2021

The sting of over 80 releases in 2021 will never leave the minds of fans and analysts. Many talented stars were let go for what was described as budgetary reasons. Whatever the reason, fans never got to see the true potential of Aleister Black, Keith Lee, Karrion Kross, and many others.

While they weren't released, stars like Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Daniel Bryan, and Cesaro, all opted to walk away. If WWE wants to freshen things up while highlighting new talent rather than the same five or six people, having another Draft could help ease some tensions.

It wouldn't outright make up for all of the releases, but seeing some deserving stars get a chance will at least be refreshing. There are plenty of talented stars throughout WWE. They just need to let the stars be themselves.
