Since The Eradicator is coming to WWE RAW with her SmackDown Women's Championship, she will likely swap titles with Bianca Belair following her shift to the blue brand.

As the number three picks for RAW, Booker T and Sharmell announced Judgment Day members Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio. Meanwhile, Judgment Day's rivals Santos Escobar, Zelina Vega, Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, and WWE legend Rey Mysterio, the LWO, have been drafted to SmackDown.

It will be exciting to see these rivalries flourish on different brands following the 2023 WWE Draft.
