Backstage on RAW, Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman were seen as Heyman was motivating Solo for his big match later tonight. Jey Uso joined the frame as the family feud among the Bloodline continued. As long as Roman Reigns is not appearing at all, it is not being able to excite the fans at all.
The next round of the draft continued with Eric Bischoff and Rob Van Dam being the host of this round. It was funny when Van Dam mocked his own mistake of holding the draft paper reversed. He did it on this week’s SmackDown and the internet trolled him a lot for this mistake.

On the next round of the Draft, the red brand of WWE decided to keep Trish Stratus in their brand. Clearly, they wanted to keep her feud with Becky Lynch going so they kept both of them on the red brand. But why Trish was listed on the draft? Is she going to be a regular in WWE from now on?
As for Smackdown, it was Karrion Kross and Scarlett. Show the former two times NXT champion is kept on the blue brand of WWE. But with his current rival Shinsuke Nakamura got drafted to RAW on the night 1 of the draft, it is pretty much confirmed that their feud would not continue after this Friday.
The red brand selected their next picks and it was the team of Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler who were not seen after their WrestleMania 39 victory. With the Tag Team Championship being on the Monday Night show of WWE, this MMA duo is definitely a huge favorite to win the Tag Team titles soon.
The Self Proclaimed Megastar LA Knight was the next draft pick for Smackdown. So the former Million Dollar champion is staying on the blue brand of WWE. It is pretty unfortunate that he would not be able to compete for the World Heavyweight championship and it could not be a big deal either if he gets to win the Money in the Bank.
Next up was the Miz TV segment with The Miz being the host and the King of Strong Style Shinsuke Nakamura being the unlikely guest. The Miz addressed the new World Heavyweight Championship and claimed that he would win it as Triple H also wanted him as his first World Heavyweight Champion.
He also asked Nakamura if he thought he could be a worthy competitor for the World Heavyweight Championship. Nakamura joked about tiny balls and Miz attempted to attack him. Nakamura ducked the attacked and name with the Kin Shasa. The World Heavyweight Championship picture is getting more and more exciting.
Match 4 – Omos defeated Anthony Alanis
Another regular jobber squash for Omos was next. The Nigerian Giant has also managed himself to be a free agent just like Brock Lesnar. We do not understand what they are actually trying to do with Omos. From the last two years he keep on squashing jobbers and every time he faces a big man he loses. And now he is a free agent. We have no idea what WWE has in their mind for him.
