Last Friday during the first day of the WWE draft Drew Mcintyre and Charlott Flair were both drafted to the blue brand. This is clearly a big pick-up for the brand as both stars have built up quite the resume for themselves as both have multiple Championship runs. and it looks like a WWE Hall Of Famer also thinks that this is a good pickup for Smackdown.
While speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T talked about Drew McIntyre and RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair making their way to Friday Night Smackdown after WWE Crown Jewel on October 21st.
Booker T stated that both McIntyre and Flair being drafted to the blue brand is great and that they are huge grabs for FOX.
“For FOX, that’s a big catch for them. Drew McIntyre, through the pandemic, he proved himself as far as being a soldier, a guy that’s willing to push forward through adversity and in times we’ve never been before, he still shined. Drew’s a big catch for SmackDown – and it’s one of the things I talk about all the time: having an international guy on the show, which translates to international fans watching because they love Drew McIntyre.
Charlotte Flair, that’s a huge grab for FOX as well, being on Friday nights. Charlotte Flair, as much as she brings to the table, she is the, you know, this generation’s Ric Flair. She wears that mantle and wears it very, very well. To have those two on SmackDown is huge,”
We will have to see if these pickups pan out for the brand.
