| 0:00.0 | Night 2 of the WWE draft was unfortunately a lot like night one. |
| 0:05.0 | We had the second night, same format that we had on Smack then. |
| 0:10.0 | If you sat through those two hours on Friday, you know exactly what you were going to get here tonight for the |
| 0:15.9 | final night of this 2024 WWE draft. It was better than Smackdown, but by much you know on Smackdown we had four |
| 0:24.8 | rounds of picks raw being a longer show we had six rounds tonight now that the |
| 0:30.3 | draft is over my main takeaway is this. They need to seriously re-evaluate doing |
| 0:36.8 | these drafts going forward. You know, once they installed Adam Pierce as the GM on Raw, they made Nick all this |
| 0:44.0 | officially the general manager on Smackdown. |

| 1:26.0 | You want to post that so and so is staying on Raw, |
| 1:29.0 | so and so is drafted to Smackdown, |
| 1:31.0 | and it's the same people staying put. You want to make an announcement online about that? That's fine. You want to have a YouTube special? That's fine. But it makes for boring TV when the vast majority of what we see are people staying exactly where they are. |
| 1:48.0 | And I know you're always going to get some of that, you know going in the entire roster on Raw the entire roster on |
| 1:55.2 | Smack that is not going to be blown to Kingdom Common it's not going to be |
