Fantasy Booking the 2016 WWE Draft

By Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau

With all the excitement surrounding the impending return of the WWE Draft, RJ Marceau and I thought it was only appropriate to hold a draft of our own using the current WWE roster and wasted no time in doing so. The rules were as follows: each of us could select up to 20 Superstars with a minimum of two tag teams and two women. Each tandem, although they could consist of two to three people, counted as one pick. Every active/signed NXT talent wa eligible as well.

Afterward, we created our own pay-per-view card using the talent we selected. The only rules were that every individual must be used in some form or fashion and multi-person matches were fine but only one special stipulation match (i.e. Last Man Standing) was allowed. Voice your feedback on which was better in the comments down below, or by tweeting us on Twitter at the links provided in the byline. With RJ taking SmackDown and myself taking Raw, here were the results.
