I can't think of any in story reason why Smackdown wouldn't take one of the 3 guys in the WWE title match with their first pick.

Easy

1st pick: Steph picks Rollins. Shane considers Ambrose, but ultimately goes with the top moneymaker John Cena

2nd pick: Foley convinces Steph to take Ambrose. Shane goes for either AJ or Orton. Steph takes Roman with her supplemental.

What would the storyline reason be for NOT selecting a guy like Samoa Joe or Nakamura?  They should have at least explained it away (like with the NFL draft expansion rules) that Regal/NXT could protect some guys from being drafted. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to not take them.

I'm still curious what the original plans were. THey were apparently leaked, but I never found them.

You can probably find the original plans in a garbage can somewhere on crumpled cocktail napkins along with cut straws with coke residue still in them.

Well you could easily say that current NXT champs are not eligible to be drafted

That protects Joe, Asuka and Revival

The only thing I can think of for Nakamura is that they claim somehow that he is in the Main Event of their biggest show of the year (Brooklyn) and thus isn't available until after that.

If Shane takes Cena and doesn't get any of the Shield guys doesn't his talk about being about the new talent and fresh young guys come off as lies. I mean it'll be a bad look for him but I'm sure I just put more thought into that than WWE

Depends on how the rest of the draft plays out. If he ends up with Styles, Cesaro, Zayn, Nakamura, and Aries, for instance, he's money.

No.  Being about the young guys would mean NXT and the recent callups.  The Shield are roster veterans.

Renee pretty much confirmed that the women will be split up but then Graves chimed in with something about will there be a new title. I don't think they'd create a second women's title again but crazier things have happened.

Good and bad.  Good in that it means they should get more overall time and bad that the division may not be deep enough to withstand this.

The women on RAW could very well end up like the Cruiserweights, a side attraction and filler, if not given enough time.

On our show the other day, cubsfan said there was talk of a womens tournament after the CWC was finished.
