Some free agents were snapped up quickly by WWE after the 2020 Draft ended

The 2020 WWE Draft had some amazing picks as Raw and SmackDown saw some shake-ups.

While the title holders more or less remained on their respective brands, there were some big movers in between.

AJ Styles and Seth Rollins were just two of the big names switching brands. However, there were a few that weren’t picked up,

Surprisingly, the WWE Draft also saw some free agents that needed to be picked up after the moves. There were some major names that weren’t picked yet. Andrade, Mickie James and Mojo Rawley weren’t called up by either brand despite being in action recently.

Becky Lynch, Jimmy Uso, Ivar and Jinder Mahal weren’t called up either but they have been missing due to injuries while Lynch is away expecting a child.

For all the stars that were missed, WWE did pick up some of the free agents lying around and a few of them had stark warnings ahead of their new chapters.

Ready for the gold

Zelina Vega might have missed out on winning the Raw Women’s title but she was ready to attack Bayley. It was a surprise seeing La Muneca not picked up in the draft rounds, but she sounded off a warning to the SmackDown Women’s Champion, who also responded in kind.

Erik of the Viking Raiders, didn’t really have much to say since he was staying on Raw. His partner, Ivar, is out with an injury and we might only see Erik once Ivar is back.

Shorty G was another who was kept on his brand, despite being a free agent.

Billie Kay was finally separated from Peyton Royce and sent to the Blue Brand, and she posted a positive note too:

One of the biggest free agents was Retaliation, aka Mercedes Martinez. She was a part of Retribution but was silently sent back to NXT and had given up the Retaliation character.

Tamina also remained on SmackDown after initially going undrafted while Bo Dallas is another big name that didn’t get a move, though he hasn’t been seen in action much.
