Jim Ross Blog: Thoughts on the WWE Draft Show Airing on the WWE Network, Second Guessing the Brand Split, Does Cena Need to Be in MITB?

June 5, 2016

A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com and below are some highlights:

I’d love to see WWE do the Draft Show on their network and make it a 2 hour, or more, show to make it as special as possible. The viewers won’t perceive the Draft to be momentous unless it is presented as such. The start to making this brand separation, Smackdown going LIVE on Tuesdays on the USA Network, etc scenario to be big league is to produce a big league, Draft Day broadcast. I assume that the three hour RAW window will likely be used to consummate the Draft and to launch three, separate rosters.

The one thing that I think most can agree on is that there will be plenty of second guessing by fans once the “Draft” happens. WWE is damned if they do and damned if they don’t when it comes to the Draft. I suggest letting it happen and then give it an opportunity to see how it develops or is that asking too much?

John Cena does not need to be in the upcoming MITB match IMO. Why not get him back involved in the United State Title picture including a potential USA vs Bulgaria US Title match on Memorial Day? I can already hear the screams of some fans.
