WrestleMania is only one week away. Just after WrestleMania, WWE usually does a draft, or “superstar shake up”.
They typically send a few Raw superstars, who have lost some steam or seem to be lost in the shuffle, to SmackDown and vice versa. Some NXT stars get called up to the main roster around this time as well. As is our tradition, we at The Scrum Sports will go ahead and list our predicted picks for the upcoming WWE draft.

It would appear that we all seem to agree for the most part. Almas has been in NXT way too long and needs to come up to the main roster. Finn Balor isn’t getting the push he should be on Raw. Ziggler is languishing on SmackDown. The tag divisions on both shows have grown stale. Hopefully the upcoming draft will inject some new life into both rosters.
