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

#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.
