The field is set. WWE is a promotion with more talent than they can use most of the time. It is difficult to come up with something for everyone to do and it makes sense for WWE to split them up into multiple parts. That was being covered over the last few days with the WWE Draft, and now we have the final results of the second round, with some new names being included.

It has been a big week. Check out some of the new draftees in action:
Opinion: Save for the extra picks on Raw Talk, that is going to be it for the Draft this year. You can see how a lot of the rosters will be looking once they go into effect and that should make for a good pair of shows. I’m curious to see how much of a difference these changes are going to make, as the shows will both look rather different. NXT is going to look even stranger though, as they will have a bigger hold to replace.
