The Undertaker is in agreement with many when discussing the 2024 WWE Draft.
Beginning on the April 26th SmackDown and concluding on the April 29th Raw, each brand selected stars to be exclusively on their show for the foreseeable future. Although there were a couple of surprises with some unexpected call-ups from NXT, for the most part, fans were unimpressed as there was very little movement of stars between brands and the rosters looked virtually the same as they did before the draft began.
While the WWE Draft took place to take advantage of the buzz around the NFL Draft, which occurred around the same time, Undertaker would have liked even more sports-centric elements on WWE TV.
Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, The Phenom stated that he wanted to see trades introduced to make the show more exciting, adding that there was not a lot to keep the fans watching:
“You know what it missed for me? I want to see some deals made right. You know what I’m saying? Like a lot of teams, they want a quarterback. They trade up or they trade down.
You know, that would to me be more compelling to watch. You’re expecting your fan base to watch two nights of TV content. And I mean, to be completely honest, there wasn’t a whole lot of change really.”
Continuing, the Hall of Famer added that it is challenging to make sure that all the stars are in the correct places for future storylines but once again reiterated that there needed to be something big that happened on the show:
“It’s difficult to get everyone placed right. You got to get everyone placed where they’re supposed to be moving forward, and I can tell they’re making efforts to do that. The way the Draft is promoted. I just think there needs to be some more something like you said drama, something needs to happen big where people get hooked.”
