The first night of the 2020 WWE Draft is over, and we have several picks that will change a lot in the company. Some fans might not have loved how things went down, but it will set the stage for the year to come in WWE.

Click here for our complete coverage of WWE Friday Night SmackDown from this week.

The most shocking decision was to split up The New Day. Ringside News exclusively reported weeks ago that WWE still had plans on the table to split up the New Day, and they had meetings with other departments about how to market it.

Big E stayed on SmackDown while Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are going to Raw. It is also notable the Bianca Belair was moved to SmackDown leaving the Street Profits to make a jump to the blue brand seeing how they like to keep couples together.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
