7 ways the WWE can learn from the NFL Draft

#7 Adopt the NFL model and make it better

So let's recap. Promote and analyze the Draft using wrestling experts. Add a running clock and info ticker on the bottom of the screen. Give wrestlers a chance to soak in the moment and showcase their emotions about where they were selected. Bring in the legends to help sell it. Trade Superstars during the show and add NXT to the party.

Once the WWE has made these changes it's time to do what the NFL cannot. Immediate action.

Fans have to wait for months to see their team's new players in action. Or years, depending on luck and how well your team drafts.

In WWE, you could have the top two picks for each brand square off against one another in the main event. If a rival brand tries to steal a championship, the titleholder should have to defend it against another draftee before they can take the belt with them to the other show.

A Draft pick could be attacked on stage by a rival who believes they should have gone before them. The possibilities are endless.

The point is to have the action in the ring and around the arena be fueled by the draft.

RAW did a much better job of accomplishing that than SmackDown did this week. Friday night we saw what seems like the 900th Corbin/Gable match and a random 6 man tag match.

The backstage brawl between The OC and The Street Profits on RAW is exactly how it should be done.

Most of the night, if not the whole night, should be focused on the Draft and the subsequent action used to push new stories forward.

That said, Bayley's heel turn and the Viking Raiders' title win were awesome.

Oh yeah, one final thought. Don't accidentally leak the order of the Draft selections next year. Just saying.

What do you think? Would you like to see the WWE go full NFL with its Draft?
