WWE Draft Night 1: 6 Best Twitter reactions from the draftees
The first night of the 2019 WWE Draft is in the books. The major changes included Sasha Banks, Braun Strowman, and 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt all joining Roman Reigns on Friday Night SmackDown. Becky Lynch, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet and The Viking Raiders all remained on RAW, but were joined by 'The Viper' Randy Orton.
While the draft is only halfway done, there are several questions that need to be answered. Who will The Fiend feud with? Who else from RAW will join him on Friday Night SmackDown? Which names from SmackDown will join RAW? Will the surprises be good or bad?
The biggest names that could be drafted to RAW or SmackDown include Universal Champion Seth Rollins, WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley, and Charlotte Flair. Daniel Bryan, Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, and the RAW Tag Team Champs Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode are also among the many names in Monday's draft pool.
Although the first night is finished and every move has been analyzed, the reactions given from the Superstars who were drafted were equally memorable. Here are the six best reactions from draftees of Night 1 of the WWE Draft.
#6 Braun Strowman is drafted to SmackDown
It was announced during a press conference earlier on Friday that Braun Strowman and professional heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury would be squaring off at the upcoming Crown Jewel pay-per-view. The press conference had a big-fight feel for the two giants, but for Strowman, his Friday was far from over.
'The Monster Among Men' has primarily been featured on RAW since the brand split, but was SmackDown's 4th pick of the second round. Strowman had numerous matches for the Universal Championship, but came up short each time.
Will the move to the Blue Brand help Strowman's chances of finally winning the big one or will he continue falling short in championship bouts? Whatever the case may be, his reaction to moving to Friday nights was interesting.
