– As noted, Mojo Rawley was drafted from NXT to SmackDown in the WWE Draft. PWinsider reports that it was expected within NXT that No Way Jose was going to be called up instead of Rawley. It will be interesting to see what WWE does with Rawley. They could make him a singles star or pair him up with Zack Ryder as they were a tag team in NXT.

As seen on Tuesdays Live WWE Draft themed SmackDown episode, WWE drafted six NXT talents to the main roster. Those names included Finn Balor, American Alpha, Eva Marie, Mojo Rawley and Carmella [& Alexa Bliss].

Heading into the show, WWE officials went back and forth on who they wanted to bring up. At one point they were only going to bring up Jason Jordan and not Chad Gable. Those plans obviously changed, as both members of American Alpha were drafted.

Mojo Rawley was originally planned to be brought up, then they decided against it, and then changed their mind yet again and brought him back into plans.

In regards to Bayley, who was rumored for some time to be called up, she was originally slated to be drafted as well, but was then they had a change of heart and decided against it.

Back around WrestleMania time, it was being said that they company didn't have plans to bring up Carmella because they felt she wasn't ready. They just recently changed their mind on that decision as well.
