Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter online about the WWE Draft and whether or not it’s scripted. It’s a fair question! I mean, we all know wrestling has storylines, but what about the Draft? I decided to dig in and see what I could find.
My Deep Dive into the WWE Draft
First, I hit up Google. You know, the usual – “is the WWE Draft real,” “WWE Draft behind the scenes,” stuff like that. I found a bunch of articles and forum discussions, but nothing super concrete. Lots of speculation, some “insider” reports, but it was all pretty murky.
Then I went to YouTube. I figured maybe there were some videos of past Drafts, maybe some interviews with wrestlers or something. And yeah, I found a ton of Draft footage! I started watching, trying to see if I could spot anything that looked…off. You know, like wrestlers reacting before they were drafted, or maybe some weird editing.
I spent a good few hours watching these videos, pausing, rewinding, the whole nine yards. I noticed a few things:
- The wrestlers genuinely seemed surprised sometimes. Like, their reactions didn’t always feel faked.
- There was a lot of build-up and suspense. The announcers did a good job of making it feel like a big deal.
- Sometimes, the picks seemed a little…convenient. Like, a wrestler would get drafted to the brand where they were already feuding with someone.
My Conclusion (For Now)
Honestly, after all this “research,” I’m still not 100% sure. It’s probably a mix of both, my dudes. It must have some planning to it. The WWE wouldn’t leave something that big up to total chance, that storyline needs some setting up and planting. They have to make sure the big storylines can continue. So I bet they have a general idea of where they want people to go, But! I also think there’s some room for genuine surprise and on-the-spot decisions. I mean the shock some of these wrestlers have on their faces seems so real.
It’s like, they probably have a script, but it’s more like a guideline, you feel me? They can improvise and change things up as needed, reacting to the crowd, to injuries, whatever. It’s entertainment, after all! they gotta keep things rolling.
