WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker comments on why he felt like the 2024 WWE Draft was lacking.
The 2024 WWE Draft kicked off on the April 26 episode of WWE SmackDown and concluded on the April 29 episode of WWE RAW. Both nights received some criticism from fans, as not many top-level stars changed brands.
Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker shared his thoughts on the draft and noted that he wanted to see the brands make some deals. (H/t Anutosh Bajpai of SEScoops for the transcription)
“You know what it missed for me? I want to see some deals made right,” The Undertaker said. “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.”
The Undertaker Wanted More Drama In WWE Draft
The Undertaker continued by saying that it was difficult to place everyone correctly in the WWE Draft. He noted that he could tell WWE was trying, but he wanted to see more drama to hook the fans.
“It’s difficult to get everyone placed right,” The Undertaker said. “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.”
