The WWE Netflix vs. USA Draft!

[@marioordonez5101]

The WWE roster, in general, is just stacked on Talent.

[@xodcynixoynidcesoillent8529]

They don't do much with a majority

[@sacerdor7467]

Ludwig Kaiser and Shayna Baszler were the ones I had in mind where I was really surprised nobody picked them. Otherwise Drew McIntyre was probably the biggest steal.

[@LucotIC.]

Dante could have taken Imperium and gotten Ludwig for free along with Gunther who he did choose.

[@jfdrac]

@@LucotIC. Yup brain fart there bu8t they so rarely call them that anymore its realistic he forgot

[@ItDoesntMatterReally]

Shayna's great, but she's had so much bad creative surrounding her since being called up that I can get why she'd slip their mind as a singles. Honestly, PFC might have a greater sum in parts than it does as a whole. Deville has always been solid, Zoey wrestles like a create-a-wrestler, and Shayna just has all the tools to be something big despite being underutilized or booked likea vampire. The PFC name just sucks though.

[@OsoArrogant00_]

Shinsuke, Chad Gable and Viking/War Raiders

[@ItDoesntMatterReally]

@@OsoArrogant00_ I love all of those talents, but Raiders get re-debut every other year it seems (and the rest of the time they're out with injury). Shinsuke probably wasn't on their mind because he hadn't been on TV for most of the year. American Made, as cool as it is in concept and as talented as they are as individuals, has really marginalized Chad Gable as a singles entity. Just as trustworthy commodities that draw eyes and keep a steady schedule, I'd say all of those names are late stage draft picks. If this list were going into the 40's or 50's, I could understand picking them up, but there are bigger names doing more on weekly TV and monthly PLE right now.

[@arkachakraborty8104]

Dante really torched John in both the men's and women's draft. Specially the women's roster is stacked!

[@mewr11]

You guys kept saying that NXT got devastated by your women's draft (and let's be honest, it was), but there's definitely still some pieces to build around - Sol Ruca, Jaida Parker, and Nikkita Lyons are a solid group to form the title picture around, Wendy Choo and Gigi Dolin (once she's back from injury) are solid workers that can help elevate new talent, and there's a decent chunk of younger wrestlers waiting to break out (Wren Sinclair, Karmen Petrovic, Tatum Paxley, others I can't think of right now). Add to that some vets that didn't get drafted (Natalya, Blair Davenport, PFC) and there's definitely some room to work. Honestly, the fact that you called up TWELVE wrestlers and I can still see a path forward for NXT's women's division is a testament to how insanely deep this current NXT women's roster is.

[@HJ10113]

Nikkita Lyons being part of the 3 talents you could think of means that NXT women’s division is terrible😭

[@P3TER_Official23]

I for some reason expected this to be a MyGM video 😂

[@kingcaden3097]

Same here I was thinking wow they brought the series back this fast

[@bschuss1]

The fact that there are still people they have missed tells you about the depth of the roster right now.

[@CodeR3d759]

Could you imagine Ilja Dragunov vs. Jacob Fatu!!

[@MangaxHombroPodcast]

No Sol Ruca or Jaida Parker breaks my heart 💔

[@P3TER_Official23]

Sol Ruca has the best finisher

[@jfdrac]

On the other hand pretty much means those two will be the world and NA champs by default lol

[@__Black_Sheep__]

All those NXT call ups and no Sol Ruca?? She's easily the most fun to watch on NXT right now

[@adityaprasadpattanayak]

John without the list and completely dependent on his memory still did a decent job

[@Wrestlmaina7373]

After all what he did to this brand Seth Rollins has to be part of the netflix Raw

[@timeto_wrestle]

Let’s hope Netflix learns how to do a live show before they have RAW

[@WorldWrestlingEdition]

Nah I was screaming Shinsuke

[@Gothamnameless]

I love shinsuke but please go for the IC strap....

[@brandonwhatever9963]

Same lol

[@RealPearlMania]

Fun Fact 👇🏻 In the UK & EU - Raw, SD & NXT will all be on Netflix, along with all the live PLEs. WWE Network in the UK & EU will eventually move its entire library to Netflix, meaning that UK & EU fans will get to enjoy the on demand library of content on Netflix whenever they wish. In USA, Peacock will remain as it currently is until some time in 2026, when everything will move to Netflix to match how it works in the UK & EU.

[@randybrumfieldjr.5669]

Dante definitely destroyed on that womens draft, especially pulling Damage CTRL, Giulia, and remembering Alexa Bliss. I do respect John picking up Stephanie, Zelina, Lola Vice, Roxanne and Cora Jade. The mens draft was closer. The slight edge to Dante for keeping the Bloodline story going. Then a top card of Gunther, Roman, Owens, Drew, Seth and others. Finally a tag division on the Bloodline, DIY, Wyatts, New Day, and Judgement Day. Tell me there will be some kind of storyline with Bliss and the Wyatt Sicks and its an easy choice.

[@Tryzec]

Would love to see you guys play 2k24 myGM mode together. Great draft gentlemen

[@timthingsivemissed4668]

This has actually been fun. Would be great to have a fantasy draft with different eras like wwf vs. wcw

[@Arjay404]

Dante destroyed with his picks on the men's roster. It would be interesting to see what they would do with the bloodline story having Roman being alone. Would he finally have to handle things alone and have to face all of the new Bloodline alone or would he find some allies we aren't thinking about.

[@GonyiTJ]

The Raw roster is amazing

[@jonpoon3896]

Would’ve been hilarious if someone tried to get Joe Hendry

[@MasciareIIi]

You guys cooked. I wish the draft actually shook the rosters up like this

[@anthonyramos9232]

They don’t believe in Joe Hendry. 👏 👏 No Blair Davenport, Dragon Lee not picked, no Shinsuke Nakamura, no Natalya, & Dante just GUTTED NXT women’s division

[@P3TER_Official23]

Technically Joe Hendry is not WWE It's the Jordynne Grace situation and why they didn't pick her

[@anthonyramos9232]

Yeah I know, but how big is that pop gonna be when Joe enters the Rumble?

[@P3TER_Official23]

@anthonyramos9232 very very big

[@jfdrac]

@@anthonyramos9232 Especially when he steps to Cena

[@anthonyramos9232]

@@maxp2305 that’s a crime in of itself

[@stevejones6247]

I hope Raw doesn't freeze up on Netflix

[@LilMayoTheYoungOG]

Instead of GM mode you guys should take these rosters and do Universe Mode on WWE2k

[@agentorange1156]

Why draft Wyatt 6 as a group, but not the new bloodline?

[@jfdrac]

Brain fart...same reason he forgot Ludwig is in Imperium with Gunther

[@kamballer2159]

He intend on taking them all but ended up with them

[@AWESOMENISH]

Roman over Cody is crazy. Roman is a non-title part time attraction, take the WWE title and a guy who can still be a champ for years in the future.

[@Medazis]

Roman is overrated AF. Especially now since he's a part-timer He can barely give us 3💫 matches with his average in-ring skills and limited moveset.

[@pillsburidoughboi]

Here's a idea for a video. Do a draft/brand split for AEW. Rampage and Dynamite. You can add another person to draft for Collison, or have that show be like a cross branded show.

[@Heavyarms525]

So basically send all the women on the main roster not picked back to NXT to bring up the next group of women’s wrestlers? Sounds like a brilliant strategy!

[@s4tivas]

netflix reallyyyy wants roman on raw i think 😭 they're gunning for him hard

[@Arjay404]

Smackdown has the best roster for both men and women, however considering that I'm in Europe I don't have to make a choice between the two because I'll get both on Netflix. So Woohoo for me!

[@kristinelucas0906]

After watching the Tyson Vs Paul fight, Netflix has to do something for better livestreaming considering Netflix crashed several times!

[@cyynical3299]

For the men, the notable undrafted to me were: American Made (Gable and the Creeds), Ludwig Kaiser, A-Town Down Under, Dragon Lee, Fraxiom, AND SOMEHOW THE STREET PROFITS?? For the women: Feel like they got just about everyone… but Sol Ruca, Jaida Parker, and Pure Fusion Collective (just to get 3 solid single stars) were notable to me.

[@haywardhummus8777]

Street profits and American Made are on there #12 & #12 on the Raw side. I did think the same with PFC though, grab em all and if you need to split them up they’re still individually great.

[@doitwildly2863]

Wow, and the best woman's wrestler went undrafted. I can't believe no one grabbed Sol Ruca

[@Lone_Wolf1414]

The best has picked first!! Rhea Ripley!!

[@breeze4757]

There's legal issues but Brock Lesnar will probably come back in 2025.

[@CadenCrawford61]

The Netflix picks are still loading

[@lookitsyourpapi]

Justice for Ludwig Kaiser

[@javarilacet5574]

How Kianna James get drafted before Jaida Parker.😂

[@kevinambriz4556]

I’d argue Kiana is a better talent, Jaida is just hotter rn.

[@jimmyk6069]

That’s okay. Let Jaida be the top women champion in NXT

[@arkachakraborty8104]

True

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

I think those shows if booked right would be fire

[@flybirdsfly2091]

This going to be good,i can not wait💥🔥

[@maskedmovies9858]

The funny thing is here in the uk everyone is on Netflix no matter the brand, all shows are gonna be in Netflix here

[@yucsilva]

Drew McIntyre took a WHILE

[@kriskorner4588]

Why wouldn't Dom be in judgment day ?

[@jfdrac]

Funny they picked the groups with men but forgot Nikki and Ivy

[@davidnalchajian5663]

Ludwig Kaiser and Tony D’Angelo would have been solid picks

[@kriskorner4588]

Very sad to see neither of you believes in JOE HENDRY !!

[@RubexCube1]

Someone needed to grab Fraxiom from NXT. The smackdown roster has Drew/Sheamus/Gunther/Jacob/Oba/Ilja that's a lot of bangers there

[@raulviii60]

Dante cooked with that male roster

[@FuegoJustinnn]

My favorite atm is Drew McIntyre! Easily the best!

[@Tja2-0]

To the person who said why didnt they pick Ivy. Ivy was/should be included with American made just like nikki with the wyatts and meta four with noam and oro

[@Shanedoessports]

You guys for Nakamura

[@ZacharyShow]

It's going to a whole new level of women's wrestling when the NXT callups happen. Maybe even moreso than when Charlotte Becky and Sasha came up

[@landonbarb6330]

Dante cooked

[@rtswrestling4598]

John picking both Roxanne and Cora was a great move considering they are a tag team

[@tmac731]

Dante got most of the black wrestlers on Smackdown like how it is now but picking damage control first is wild lol

[@richm9509]

The king of strong style

[@trevorchestang8702]

John Cena not on this list is crazy

[@stuffingtonjfluffypantsiii]

My money's on Alexis Bliss returning in the women's Rumble

[@stevejones6247]

nice sweatshirt,John

[@beastgamerxt9608]

John Cena?

[@beastgamerxt9608]

I know it said active wrestlers but Netflix Doesn't come until 2025 and in 2025 John Cena Is Full Time So.....

[@paramkumarprincevegetaiv]

They left Otis / Tosawa

[@ayeecal90]

Dante went crazy on the women’s draft

[@TheJaguar1983]

Whenever I hear "American Made" I think of American Maid from The Tick.

[@colesonlamb]

Dante sweep city with that roster

[@matthewgwin4828]

Sol Ruca snubbed

[@martinbrophy6898]

You should try and do this for the next gm mode be great

[@leonm20]

both shows on netflix

[@hashslingingslasher42]

The fact Damian priest didn't even get mentioned is criminal

[@kriskorner4588]

Sorry but 100% the Wyatt sicks will be on Netflix for alot of obvious reasons 😮

[@Mikienae]

Cora Jade & Pete Dunne! RAW eassssy wins the draft

[@P3TER_Official23]

19:09 I'm definetly watching Netflix because it's free plus I already have an account because my father made one for everyone in the family when he registered

[@ajlafayette4796]

I was thinking Logan Paul for RAW. Especially since his brother, Jake was recently in a fight against Mike Tyson…which was probably rigged in Jake’s favor.

[@MansafUTD]

How did you miss Axiom and Fraser for the NXT call ups??

[@CrazySniper04]

Need to put these rosters in universe mode in 2k

[@Diejarov]

Sol ruca not getting drafted is crazy, she is READY for the main roster

[@alishavukovich5495]

Most of the time they don't split husbands and wives

[@GamecockRock90]

Wyatt Sicks HAS to be on Netflix…. Need that unrated title for them

[@dylanbeschoner]

Shouldn't be allowed to draft bianca/jade. They float and should continue to do so

[@ivanakum61]

Wow the disrespect of drafting Meta-"Four" over Pure Fury Chicks

[@trevorborwege2408]

You guys did forget Shinsuke Nakamura

[@d4rksol123]

SNAKE Draft ! Alternating for a draft is the dumbest way to do it! .. please start using snake drafting to make it at least somewhat reasonable!

[@michaelw_yee]

Smackdown cooked. Roman & Gunther on the same show

[@K1ngNazSports]

I think WWE is gonna keep Cody and Roman on SD

[@julian6208]

fire hoodie🔥 @John

[@McLoving425]

I think this is a little fantasy for you guys tho. In reality smackdown will be more of a b show and raw will have more of the stars. I think sd will have a champion but he wont be strictly sd, he’ll be on netflix too

[@Aaron_The_Ace]

How did Cora Jade And Fatal Influence from NXT fall so far

[@BigLemz]

war raiders going undrafted is mental

[@JunoCentral]

No Jaida Parker is crazyyyy

[@carson_owens0749]

Nakamura snubbed

[@JaySyxx5]

Blair Davenport

[@stoiatv]

Dante absolutely killed Jon. That was bad.

[@austinblanchard9104]

Genuinely shocked they didn’t call sol Ruca or charlotte

[@mistrust3500]

usa all day !

[@mjwtruth]

Dom and Rey going that early is something

[@freakyhijikii2905]

Tatum Paxley

[@isaacwoods5526]

The Logan Paul slander is crazy

[@shanewareham8003]

Giulia is not a good pick. She's been on NXT for like 3 months. There's probably 10 other women i would have chosen over her.

[@SIMOLAMBOTZ]

I don't know how she was before Nxt but she seems still green at the moment or maybe still not used to American tv wrestling

[@shanewareham8003]

@SIMOLAMBOTZ She's only been wrestling for like 5 years on small stages. She definitely still needs some improvement.

[@bcmoore1995]

No way PG cable is getting that many big names. Lmao

[@vx_gridogaming5950]

John Cena going undrafted is huge

[@agentorange1156]

No Brock????

[@maverick4you]

How can you not pick Gunther 😮
