WWE Draft 2020 will happen over two WWE episodes, beginning with SmackDown this weekend, carrying over to RAW the week after. As always, WWE Draft 2020 will determine where the men and women of the company will end up, over the following weeks and how the storylines will eventually pan out.
Over the past few weeks, we've seen how the brand split has been watered-down, with Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke moving over to RAW, and with Braun Strowman showing up on RAW Underground as well. There will be a sense of order amidst the chaos, once WWE Draft 2020 has happened, and we will get to see what the future holds for both brands.
Remember that WWE Draft 2020 will essentially split the company's two superstars across two competing networks, so both FOX and the USA Network will want a pretty strong showing.
#5 WWE Draft 2020 splits up The Hurt Business, with Bobby Lashley moving over to SmackDown
Usually, whenever a draft happens, the mid-card championship is usually traded to the other brand since it doesn't have a brand name (RAW or SmackDown) as a prefix in terms of title nomenclature. And so, while The Hurt Business could remain on RAW to cause terror and chaos, Bobby Lashley could move over to SmackDown to tussle with the likes of Matt Riddle and Shorty G and Big E when WWE Draft 2020 happens. Even someone like Kalisto could be waiting for his opportunity to branch out and face this big man.
Of course, Mustafa Ali, who has seemed like he's the next in line for Bobby Lashley based on the events of the past week, could also be traded to SmackDown shortly after to lock horns with the CEO of The Hurt Business.
#4 Kofi Kingston and Big E are drafted to different brands during WWE Draft 2020
There have been articles on Sportskeeda about how The New Day has run its course and become a stale act for years now, but at WWE Draft 2020, we may finally experience the official end of the faction. Kofi Kingston created magic when he made history at WrestleMania last year and Big E is ready and primed to be the new singles star for the company, over the coming years.
So, at WWE Draft 2020, both men could be separated so that they do their own things on RAW and SmackDown respectively. If Randy Orton becomes the WWE Champion in due time, Kofi Kingston could potentially feud with him over many months, and Big E could stay on, where he currently is, to battle Roman Reigns on SmackDown.
Where Xavier Woods ends up after WWE Draft 2020 will be interesting to see and note. If there are indeed plans for The New Day to (amicably) split up, Woods could also tear it up on NXT.
#3 In a surprise move during WWE Draft 2020, RETRIBUTION becomes exclusive to WWE SmackDown
There is a big chance that RETRIBUTION, a faction that is currently exclusive to RAW could become a part of SmackDown after WWE Draft 2020 and it has to do with the fact that Roman Reigns has named the 'highest of stakes' for his upcoming match with his cousin, Jey Uso. There's always a chance that Roman Reigns and Jey Uso (and in time, Jimmy Uso) become a part of a Samoan Dynasty faction on SmackDown after WWE Draft 2020, and once they do, they will need new factions to wage battles with.
And so, following WWE Draft 2020, RETRIBUTION could come into the roster and feud with the likes of Lucha House Party and obliterate them. But then, a feud against a more formidable team, like the Samoan Dynasty could happen. In fact, The Hurt Business could be drafted to SmackDown as well after WWE Draft 2020, to continue their feud with RETRIBUTION, just on the other network.
#2 Sasha Banks becomes SmackDown Women's Champion, and then, during the course of WWE Draft 2020, Bayley is drafted to RAW
You may argue all your want, but Sasha Banks vs. Bayley is the hottest feud going in WWE at the moment. The reason why we are getting Sasha Banks vs. Bayley on next week's episode of SmackDown is that they are the two hottest female Superstars in the company, and after WWE Draft 2020, each needs to be in charge of elevating the women's division of a separate brand. And so, shortly after Sasha Banks defeats Bayley to become the SmackDown Women's Champion, we could learn that they are now on two different brands thanks to WWE Draft 2020.
Asuka really needs strong heels to face and following WWE Draft 2020, she could potentially feud with Bayley all the way until 2021.
As for Sasha Banks, she could tussle with the likes of Peyton Royce, who could come over from the RAW brand, as she will need devious and formidable new heels to battle as well.
#1 Miz and Morrison end up on two different brands after WWE Draft 2020 is done and dusted
Miz and Morrison are magic when they are working against one another but let's be honest, neither man has been used to his fullest potential on WWE SmackDown. WWE Draft 2020 presents a unique opportunity where both men can be drafted into two different brands to do their own thing.
The Miz has a very distinct personality as compared to John Morrison, who has not been able to show us just how charismatic he can be, on his own. When they are split up, thanks to WWE Draft 2020, each man could potentially get a chance to branch out and become a top Superstar, all on his own.
Yes, we will be deprived of a Miz vs. Morrison feud in the process, but both men are doing well as heels at the moment, and heels they should be for the foreseeable future. In fact, to gear up for WWE Draft 2020, why don't you check out our exclusive with The Miz?
