Today WWE has announced more moves that were part of night one of the WWE Draft, with many of the ‘free agents’ getting picked up.
Joining the WWE Raw brand will be:
EC3Eric YoungSin Cara
All three men have struggled to make their mark in recent times, with EC3 not being utilised by the company since being moved from WWE NXT. Eric Young has suffered the same fate, and since SAnitY was split he has mainly been used in 24/7 Championship chases.
Sin Cara has had the most exposure out of the trio, and he has recently returned from injury, which could see him utilised by WWE, although it remains to be seen if WWE will commit to creating a storyline for the masked superstar.
Joining the WWE SmackDown brand will be:
Apollo CrewsDrew GulakHeath SlaterTaminaThe B-Team
The blue brand picked up more talents from the free agents, with Apollo Crews being the main name chosen here. Crews has received plenty of television time lately, but has struggled to get out of the mid-card, with no real storylines being given to him, which could change on Friday nights.
Drew Gulak appears to be joining the main roster with this move, although he will likely be remaining on WWE 205 Live and NXT for the time being. Gulak is incredibly talented both in the ring and on the microphone, so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.
Heath Slater is another talented hand who has had plenty of memorable moments during his lengthy WWE career, but it is unlikely the company is going to be using him in a prominent position anytime soon.
Both Tamina and The B-Team have struggled to find a place on television in the past year, although Tamina has been dealing with an injury. She recently held the 24/7 Championship and it is likely she will be used in backstage segments or to put over other talents, which is a similar role The B-Team can be expected to have.
All of these names are mainly being used to flesh out both rosters, especially when it comes to live events.
There are still several names being classed as ‘free agents’ and it is unknown when they will be picked up by either show. The current list of ‘free agents’ is as follows:
