Punk vs Drew is going to be an all time WWE rivalry. Summerslam should be Round 1. They should have a rematch a short time after and then settle the draw at Wrestlemania in an “I QUIT” match.

Are they trying to turn Logan and the Judgment Day? You don’t walk into the arena in KC with Patrick Mahomes as heels.

Are they really surprising the NXT people with the draft?
If so, that’s awesome.

RAW is like Team Ireland or something:
Finn Balor JD McDonagh Becky Lynch Sheamus Lyra Valkyria
Happy for Ilja and Lyra to make it to the main roster, thought we'd get a 1 on 1 with Valkyria and Paxley with the latter getting the much needed win. Maybe it still happens. Surprised Roxanne was kept but this goes back to winning the title in the 1st place.
Knew Davenport would get called up though, feel like there isn't much else to do. Thought she'd stay only in the purpose of welcoming Guilia when she comes in. I am surprised Jacy Jayne & Gigi Dolin are still down in NXT, especially the former.

I don't think I would want this to be a yearlong blood feud Feuds and rivalries used to go on much longer back in the day. It's what I think has been missing from a lot of the modern product. They 'feud' for a couple of PPVs and then that's it. All is forgotten. The fans would hear 'oh Hogan vs Savage' or 'Freebirds vs Von Erichs' and know there was more to the story because there was past history. If they do Drew vs Punk right it could be magic. Everything gets forgotten so quickly now and I think it takes away from some of the momentum at times. The Bloodline storyline was great because it was done slowly and over time and they were able to add layers to it.

I wasn't impressed by the strategic choices of the GM from Smackdown's draft. The question is, did they do any better on Raw?
Raw opened with Gunter Imperium. Not CM Punk or Drew McIntyre but still a reasonable choice. Smackdown countered with Jade Cargill. Not CM Punk or Drew McIntyre but still a reasonable choice. Raw followed up with Damage CTRL. Not CM...never mind that's a great pick. Four wrestlers for the price of one, tag team champions included. Great pick. Smackdown, Kevin Owens. Swing and a miss.
Second round, Raw gets their head screwed on and picks CM Punk. Drew is the slightly better choice from a risk reward perspective. CM Punk wrestled one match and got hurt for however many months, not to mention his injury record in AEW. It could happen in his next match. Drew is injured now but in general he's not an injury prone chap. Smackdown picks The Pride. Another four-in-one pick, so pretty good, but less valuable than Damage CTRL. Raw picks...Braun Strowman?! Well if he's eligible, fair enough. Smackdown, Tiffany Stratton, fair enough.
LWO is drafted next. Including Carlito?! Hold on, hold on. Imperium jobber #2 was not part of the Imperium draft. Why the hell is Carlito included? He's clearly not in the group anymore after Smackdown. Legaco del Fantasma. Drew McIntyre picked at long last. Smackdown really are dummies for not grabbing him much, much earlier. Smackdown follows up with Mister No-Credibility-Left Shinsuke Nakamura. Well, a breath of fresh air is what Nakamura really needs. He might be able to actually win a match.
I'm not going through all the other picks but I will point out that Raw takes Ilya Dragunov, aka THE MOST INTENSE PERSON IN THE WORLD, levels up to Raw to have more eternal wars with Gunther. Raw also takes the NXT pick Lyra Valkyria. I've never seen her before, but her signature move is Nightwish, so she's high on my list. Smackdown's last pick is Blair - OH SHIT THAT'S BEA PRIESTLEY!!!
------------------
I enjoyed the opening segment. For once Nia Jax was actually kinda good. Nice banter with the crowd, she looks more at ease than before. Much like Hayes vs Cody, the show opens with a compelling hook.
Some skippable stuff, Booker T is still around, hey it's Drew!! The hottest commodity and the most overlooked one in all of professional wrestling. Of course Drew McIntyre speaks the truth about the injustice of the draft, the truth I have also been spouting. I am delighted to see Drew emerge once more after round 3 of the draft. Hey it's CM Punk! The story of these two running multiple separate segments in the show is a nice touch. Raw is getting a "can't miss a second" vibe. In short, chickenshit heel CM Punk baits top babyface Drew, runs away and talks shit, like a coward.
Nice developments in the Intercontinental Championship scene interweaving with the Alpha Academy friction.
Liv Morgan defeats Nia Jax. Describing the match as "good" would be an overstatement, but it was better than I expected it to be.
I must have heard Truth's entrance rap a million times but all I hear is BAJUBJABJABUABJAU. JUBDUABDUABDUAUDB. WASSUP. WASSUP.

I'm enjoying the build towards Punk v Drew. McIntyre is doing his best work perhaps ever. And this is exactly why they want Punk - to help elevate these guys to the next level, the way in which he conveys his intentions coming off so pissed off is a break from all the slow, methodical - albeit precise deliveries every does these days. It makes it feel like it isn't ready from a script. Calling Drew a little bitch was a lol moment for me. I'm also sure, the reason Punk was in the sky box was to show off the sell out arena.

Drew Mac's out of the King of the Ring, and taking his place is Jey Uso.

I hope Jey Uso wins the KOTR. Him being a crowned King heading into the eventual Bloodline Civil War would be a dope accolade to bring into the storyline.
