WWE Draft Night 2 on RAW Preview: WrestleMania main eventer to quickly win a title, 2 top champions to switch brands?

The WWE Draft is set to conclude on RAW tonight. It's the second of two nights, and we've already seen some massive Drafts for both main roster brands.

Welcome to this week's edition of RAW Preview. The World Champions Roman Reigns and Big E will remain intact on the Blue and Red brands respectively, but we could see a further shake-up tonight.

It's going to be an exciting episode as we'll see a few superstars make their mark as new faces on the Monday night show. The landscape of both RAW and SmackDown will change on the second night of the Draft, and here is what you need to look forward to tonight:

#5. Bianca Belair's RAW journey begins with big implications in the WWE Draft

Bianca Belair was the fourth overall pick in the first round of the Draft. The former SmackDown Women's Champion was drafted to RAW, and her journey begins tonight.

Putting Belair in the first-round draft was a good move because it meant that WWE continued to portray her as one of the company's top future stars. Despite the 26-second loss to Becky Lynch at SummerSlam, this was a great move to re-establish her importance, if that wasn't done already.

What made things complicated, however, was the fact that RAW Women's Champion Charlotte Flair was drafted to SmackDown. This could mean that SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch gets moved to the Red brand, and the two could possibly exchange titles, similar to what The New Day and The Street Profits did after the 2020 WWE Draft.

With that said, it would be boring and unoriginal. Lynch is undoubtedly the most popular female star in WWE, which is why there's a big chance that she will stay on SmackDown.

If she is drafted to the Friday night show, it could cause a problem. Both Women's Champions would be on one brand. The leading candidate to end Charlotte Flair's reign would be Bianca Belair, who will become the default top woman's star on RAW unless Becky Lynch is drafted as well.

One thing is for sure - Belair isn't winning the SmackDown Women's Championship at Crown Jewel. However, it could mean that she becomes the woman to dethrone Flair to become the next RAW Women's Champion.

#4. The WWE Draft continues on RAW

The first night of the Draft saw some important moves to both RAW and SmackDown. Roman Reigns and Charlotte Flair were the first-round picks for the Friday night show, while WWE Champion Big E and Bianca Belair were the picks for the Red brand.

Two major moves that we didn't see happening is a swap between United States Champion Damian Priest and Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.

The latter is one of the few superstars to never change brands in any superstar shake-up or WWE Draft, along with former Women's Champion Carmella. However, that could all change tonight. Priest has been a huge star on RAW, which is why it would make sense for him to say.

But given how WWE is pushing him as a potential future main event star, they might want to move him to SmackDown - currently the "bigger" brand in terms of star power, importance, and most importantly - broadcast revenue.

The priority for the company will be to push Damian Priest over Shinsuke Nakamura, which is why they might feel the Blue brand is better for the US Champion than RAW.

Tonight in the Draft, we could finally see Nakamura move to Monday nights as Priest possibly takes the US title to SmackDown.

#3. Where does Edge begin on RAW after the WWE Draft?

Edge is back on RAW. The Rated-R Superstar has been quite busy for a so-called part-timer since July. After taking a three-month hiatus, he returned and challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.

Although he lost, it set up a feud with Seth Rollins that saw them have two incredible matches at SummerSlam and SmackDown at Madison Square Garden. While Extreme Rules would have been the perfect pay-per-view for their feud to culminate, WWE decided to carry it on.

The feud reached a new level of intensity on the previous episode of the Blue brand, as Rollins invaded Edge's house. This could mean that the latter has a high chance of winning their third match.

The problem now is that as their feud is set to conclude, Edge has been drafted to RAW. While Seth Rollins could still get drafted to the Red brand, he might stay on SmackDown. If the latter happens, then WWE will have to quickly conclude their feud with a match at Crown Jewel.

If their match is booked for the pay-per-view, which we assume it will, it's a sad stage for them to conclude their rivalry. However, this also means that Edge will get a fresh start on Monday Night RAW with some new feuds and potential new opponents.

#2. Big E continues his run on RAW after the WWE Draft

Big E received his highest draft position yet as he was Monday Night RAW's first pick and second overall of the Draft. Because he is the WWE Champion, it makes sense that he is staying on the Monday night show while Roman Reigns continues to dominate on SmackDown.

What was interesting was the fact that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were drafted to the Blue brand - exactly the opposite of what happened in the 2020 WWE Draft.

But in the long run, that will turn out to be a good decision. The company wants Big E to be their next top star, and to do that, he is going to need to be away from The New Day. This way, they can also avoid doing any formal break-up angles that requires a heel turn from one or two members.

Big E defeated Bobby Lashley last week on RAW in a steel cage to retain his title and conclude their feud. Post-match, it was Drew McIntyre who confronted him, indicating a WWE title showdown in the future.

However, McIntyre was drafted to SmackDown and is now targeting the Universal Champion - whether it's Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns.

In that way, it seemed a bit short-sighted for WWE to tease a feud between Big E and Drew McIntyre right before the latter's move less than a week later.

However, they could always have a one-off match at Crown Jewel, with the WWE Champion winning to establish his dominance. The event might be filled with Interbrand matches before the formal Interbrand war at Survivor Series 2021.

#1. Goldberg returns to RAW to set up a match at Crown Jewel

Goldberg returns to RAW this week - this time, in person. We haven't seen him formally return to the Red brand since the SummerSlam 2021 debacle, but he has made his intent to get revenge on Bobby Lashley clear.

It's been a rough few weeks for The All Mighty. He has taken a pinfall loss three weeks in a row, two times to Big E and once to Roman Reigns. While those are two World Champions, it's been a quick descent for him on RAW.

The Hurt Business reunion seems to be in order, which is great news. However, Goldberg's return could make things go from bad to worse.

Now that Lashley isn't the WWE Champion, there's no reason why the WCW icon won't or can't beat him. Although his contract is for two matches a year, he will wrestle his third at Crown Jewel, with Bobby Lashley as his rumored opponent.

Expect a big confrontation between the two superstars tonight. Although The Hurt Business might help Lashley get the edge over Goldberg before Crown Jewel, the match itself will have an obvious outcome - with The All Mighty losing to the WWE Hall of Famer.
