Tonight, history is made. The course of the WWE changes as we haave our first live SmackDown and the draft. We have already found out who the fearless leader of SmackDown will be, and that is Shane McMahon. Shane-O-Mac was appointed Commissioner of SmackDown by his father, Vince, and will choose his own GM. Tonight we see the distinctive rosters for both Raw and SmackDown form! Maybe a return of the World Heavyweight Championship(wishful thinking)?
Also, Shane McMahon announced online that there will be a rematch of last nights WWE Championship match between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose that ended with both men's shoulders on the mat. The show ended with Seth holding the belt, but Dean is still the champion.
DRAFT: The first pick belongs to Raw as previously mentioned in the draft rules! Both show commissioners and GM's are at their respective podiums ready for pick #1. With the first pick is.. Seth Rollins! I think everyone saw this coming with Seth being the hottest up and coming talent.
DRAFT: SmackDown's first pick... is the current WWE Champion, Dean Ambrose!
DRAFT: Pick number two for Raw is the WWE Women's Champion, Charlotte!
DRAFT: SmackDown's second pick is The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles!
DRAFT: Here is Raw's third pick is the first NXT pick of the night.. Finn Balor!! NXT Star Finn Balor goes in the top 5.
MATCH: John Cena(w Enzo & Cass) vs. Luke Gallows (w The Club)
Who would've thought that five picks in, John Cena is still on the board.
RESULT: John Cena wins via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: They went to commercial midway through the match, but kept the match on screen. Which was awesome. Decent match, but Cena doesn't get drafted in the top five but wins the first ever match on SmackDown Live.
*Commercial Break*
DRAFT: Monday Night Raw goes again, and they choose Roman Reigns(who is met with a beautiful song of boos)! Who is suspended but will be at Battleground on Sunday.
DRAFT: SmackDown chooses.. John Cena! Finally the 15x champ is off the board.
DRAFT: Next pick for Raw is.. Brock Lesnar! Big pick there. Raw remains Suplex City.
DRAFT: SmackDown chooses.. Randy Orton! Loving SmackDowns roster so far. Styles, Ambrose, Cena, Orton..
DRAFT: Raw chooses.. The New Day!! So glad they are staying together.
MATCH: The Miz (w Maryse) & Rusev (w Lana) vs. Darren Young(w Bob Backlund & Zack Ryder
RESULT: Darren Young & Zack Ryder win via submission.
THOUGHTS: Darren Young makes Miz submit, so does that mean he basically already lost on Sunday? He looked great in the match though!
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Xavier Woods(w The New Day) vs. Bray Wyatt(w Wyatt Family)
The New Day is decked out in Raw gear after their draft selection!
During the match, Bray seemingly puts Xavier in some sort of trance as Woods just stares at him in fear. Bray snaps him out of it with a hefty right forearm.
RESULT: Bray Wyatt wins via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: The story they are telling with Xavier Woods and his fear of The Wyatts, but trying to tough it out for his boys in New Day has been awesome from day one when you could notice Woods just staring at Bray from a distance just truly enthralled with the guy. The match itself was decent. I like Woods in the ring, but I like him more with a trombone at ringside.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Demon Kane vs. Kevin Owens
Before we can even have a match, Sami Zayn comes in and a brawl starts. It ends with Kane chokeslamming both men.
RESULT: No match.
THOUGHTS: Okay..?
DRAFT: Raw is up again, and they choose Sami Zayn!
DRAFT: SmackDown chooses Bray Wyatt! But no family to come with him yet.
DRAFT: Raw reminds SmackDown that women are in this draft, and they then choose Sasha Banks!
DRAFT: SmackDown goes ahead and takes a woman, and that woman is Becky Lynch!
DRAFT: Raw picks.. Chris Jericho! Still no Kevin Owens.. What?
*Commercial Break*
2 ON 1 HANDICAP MATCH: Charlotte & Dana Brooke vs. Sasha Banks
RESULT: Charlotte & Dana Brooke win via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: This match had some good moments but was a little short. Not a fan of handicap matches anyway.
DRAFT: Raw is back up! Mick announces that their next pick is Rusev WITH Lana.
DRAFT: SmackDown takes The Miz and Maryse with little to no excitement.. Bryan says they want the belt, but not The Miz.
DRAFT: Kevin Owens finally goes off the board to Raw. Was wanting to see him on SD.
DRAFT: SmackDown takes The Lone Wolf, Baron Corbin!
DRAFT: Raw gets another tag team in Enzo & Cass!
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Chris Jericho vs. Cesaro
RESULT: Chris Jericho wins via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: Y2J wins his last match on SmackDown! Kind of hate seeing Cesaro lose, but Y2J winning his possible last ever SmackDown match must be more important.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO: During the commercial break, Natty was in the ring ready for a match, but when we return to the show she is getting mauled by Becky Lynch. Assumedly in return for Natty attacking her last night.
DRAFT: Raw is back, and they choose Gallows & Anderson. The Club will have their swan song on Sunday!
DRAFT: Another NXT pick and the first for SmackDown as they choose American Alpha! Chad Gable and Jason Jordan!
DRAFT: Raw chooses Big Show next, and no one cares.
DRAFT: SmackDown is up again, and they choose Dolph Ziggler.
DRAFT: The third NXT pick is a woman, but not Bayley... Nia Jax is going to Raw. WOW.
*Commercial Break*
DRAFT: This kicks off the last five televised picks in the WWE Draft! Raw chooses.. Neville is back and coming to Monday Nights!
DRAFT: SmackDown picks Natalya. Still no Bayley. What.
DRAFT: Raw is up again, and they choose Cesaro. That's good because Raw is in serious need of baby faces.
DRAFT: SmackDown chooses Alberto Del Rio.
DRAFT: The last televised pick is.. Sheamus! Going to Monday Night Raw.
THE DRAFT IS NOT OVER. There will be another 30 picks on the WWE Network after the show, and you can find those covered by us here at Smark Out Moment right here!
*Commercial Break*
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Seth Rollins
RESULT: Dean Ambrose retains his WWE Championship via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: A few things here. One, the match was fantastic and I still think adding Roman is going to make it just that much better on Sunday. Two, I LOVE how disappointed Michael Cole sounded when he said the title will be on SmackDown instead of Raw. Three, having Shane and Bryan come out and celebrate with Dean was a nice touch.
