As noted on Friday here on eWn, WWE made a huge mistake by announcing the draft pools for RAW and SmackDown! Live prior to the first night of the Draft on Friday night. The draft pool for SmackDown! Live listed the Superstars in the order that they were eventually draft. The first five names on the list were Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns, The OC, ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt and Drew McIntyre and that’s the exact order they were drafted in.
According to the official Twitter account of WrestleVotes, WWE wants to try and fix this mistake by making a “blockbuster” announcement of some sort on RAW tonight. They said,
“With the draft list blunder on Friday, I’ve heard WWE is trying to switch things up for tonight. I’m expecting some sort of “blockbuster” trade to take place. They tried to make this years draft look so legit, and it’s failed so far. Typical.”
