The final picks are in, and the 2021 WWE Draft is officially in the books.
I'm Matt Camp for WWE Now with a full breakdown of all the shocking
selections that are set to take effect on October 22nd.
The WWE Draft once again changed the course of the WWE Universe,
and shifted title pictures in the process.
A number of big names were on the move, including a swap of the Raw and
SmackDown Women's Champions, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.
>> And look, I know I'm still holding this.
But let's not forget I was the longest reigning Raw Women's Champion and
technically I never lost that title.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
the person that's holding it now, we've gone back and forth a lot.
But Charlotte Flair, since the last time I beat her, she's never been the same.
But since the last time she beat me, I've been better than ever, and
she can't stand it.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> So
I think it might be time to become Becky two belts once again.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> While The Queen and
The Man clearly have unfinished business to attend to.
Seth Rollins and
Bianca Belair all celebrated new opportunities on the red brand.
Monday Night Rawlins is indeed back in a big.
And the EST of WWE is already pumped about her new digs.
On the SmackDown side, the celtic warrior put King Nakamura on notice.
And let the entire blue brand know that he has his sights set on
the Intercontinental title.
A number of NXT superstars also saw their dreams come true with their
names called to Raw and SmackDown.
XIA LI celebrated her historic selection
as the first female Chinese superstar on the WWE Main Roster.
Top Dolla was on Cloud9 to be picked alongside Hit Row in
the same arena he grew up attending WWE events as a young child.
>> Talk about a game changer, NCAA Heavyweight Champion and
Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson.
>> Wow, I did not expect this.
This is huge, Gable Steveson an Olympic Gold Medalist is coming to Monday Night.
>> Just this night too was heading towards the finish line,
some of the biggest surprises were save for last.
Olympic Gold Medalist and
NCAA Champion Gable Stevenson was chosen in a massive move for the red brand.
With only a few picks to go, Sami Zayn had yet to hear his name called.
And the conspiracy wheels surely had to be spinning.
The former Intercontinental Champion was taken with SmackDown final pick, and
I'm sure we certainly haven't heard the end of it.
Plenty of things may have changed, but
one thing remains constant the head of the table still runs Friday Nights.
And the rest of the WWE Universe will have to acknowledge that fact.
Well, except possibly his WWE Crown Jewel opponent,
as the beast is still free to roam where he pleases.
>> Because of Paul Heyman Brock Lesnar is a free agent, all because of Paul.
And all because of that, Brock Lesnar gets to
do whatever Brock Lesnar wants to do.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> So what impressions
will superstars look to leave before turning the next page in WWE history?
Don't miss SmackDown this Friday at 8/7 Central on Fox to see what's next.
