The WWE draft is over, and a new era of a strict split between the “Monday Night Raw” and “Friday Night SmackDown” brands is officially upon us.

WWE has announced intriguing matches for “Crown Jewel,” stumbled with the build of The Fiend, turned Bayley fully heel and shaken up the rosters. Here is a look at what’s working, what’s not and what we need to wait and see on for WWE right now:

Time for a change

Fiendishly Confusing

The internet and the live crowd rejected the “referee-stoppage” finish to “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt vs. Seth Rollins in the main event at Hell in a Cell. It made little sense on so many levels: There shouldn’t be stoppages in a Hell in a Cell match, especially for an otherworldly character. The crowd was ready for Wyatt to become Universal champion. And he popped up and attacked Rollins right after the match was called. So now how do you beat Wyatt clean, when the time comes for that result?

Also confusing was Rollins finding the Firefly Funhouse this week and “burning it down,” “killing” his supporter Rambling Rabbit in the process. How did Seth find the Funhouse? Google Maps? Waze? Him committing arson in the storyline doesn’t help him as a babyface one bit and just reminds viewers of Randy Orton burning down Wyatt’s house. This story could go off the rails with a fall-count-anywhere title match scheduled for Crown Jewel.

Game of tag

Putting the Raw tag team championships on the Viking Raiders and The Revival being the SmackDown champions are not bad things, but can we stop playing hot potato with the belts? It’s getting hard to keep track of who the champions are and impossible to build stories behind them. The Raw tag titles have changed five times in the past five months, the SmackDown titles three times. There needs to be some continuity for them to mean something.

Short end of the stick

It’s nice to see Baron Corbin have the power as King of the Ring to decree that the ring announcer refer to Chad Gable as “Shorty” Gable, but changing his official name plate seems a bit too much and childish. Gable even was drafted as “Shorty.” It’s a cheap attempt to get heat for Corbin and sympathy for Gable. WWE should strive to be better than a whole story based around short jokes. Gable is excellent between the ropes and deserves a more meaningful story.

Having a good time

Combat kings

Sure, Tyson Fury vs. Braun Strowman is likely a one-off and feels a bit gimmicky, but the Gypsy King is a legit badass. WWE has built the Crown Jewel match well enough — Fury stepping over top rope at the contract signing was good, but the pen-breaking bit was not. There is at least a curiosity about how this will go.

Brock Lesnar facing Cain Velasquez is a different story. WWE won the bidding war with AEW for the services of Velasquez, who has proven he can hold his own in the ring during this time with Lucha Libre AAA. Lesnar, who looks much more intimidating than the former two-time UFC champion, set the perfect story by mentioning the scar Velasquez gave him when Velasquez beat him in UFC. The Rey Mysterio/Dominic angle helped make the match, but it feels like an unneeded subplot now, at best.

She’s got a new attitude

The road was a little bumpy, but WWE got us to a satisfying Bayley heel turn with a new look, new music and destroyed inflatable tube-men. They even let Bayley’s new mindset pay off in her beating Charlotte Flair to regain the SmackDown women’s championship. Give Bayley a bunch of the credit here. Her well-played tantrum at Hell in Cell set this all up beautifully, and she delivered her “screw you” message believably after beating Flair. It will be fun to see Bayley evolve this new persona.

Warrior princesses

WWE has passed around its women’s tag championships much less often than men’s tag titles, but it’s time for them to reach their full potential — especially with NXT on USA going up against AEW. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) give WWE a credible team, along with hopefully-returning manager Paige, that has strong NXT ties who could pop down there for a surprise match. Outside of Sasha Banks and Bayley, it’s the best in-ring women’s team WWE has. Let them go have great matches across the brands — with Asuka using her poison mist — so it’s a big deal when they do lose.

Time will tell

Living Dangerously

The WWE draft didn’t generate a lot of sizzle. SmackDown snared a number of the big names: Brock Lesnar, Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan. But it gave Raw executive director Paul Heyman — the former Paul E. Dangerously — a chance to finally push and get over some of WWE’s young talent. Heyman gets a chance to mold Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Andrade, Aleister Black, The Street Profits and Liv Morgan, just to name a few. There is a ton of potential there.

What’s love got to do with it

Sure, Rusev has been in love-triangle angles before, and that — coupled with the Maria Kanellis baby angle — wasn’t the best way to bring him back after a long absence. With that said, let’s give the Bobby Lashley-Lana story another week or two. WWE is at least committed enough to it to have them show up to the SmackDown blue carpet together. The storyline is an attempt at edgier, sexier content, but it needs to progress past the silly vignettes soon and explain why Lana left Rusev for Lashley. If it doesn’t, it’s just another shallow ploy for ratings.

Stars align

The who-attacked-Roman Reigns storyline dragged on and didn’t have the impact WWE hoped. Still, it gave us a fun pairing of Reigns and Daniel Bryan in a tag match at Hell in a Cell. Both were drafted to SmackDown and need new stories. Reigns is facing Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental title Friday night on Fox. A Reigns win and an eventual Daniel Bryan challenge could lead to fun matches down the road. It would also set up Reigns versus United States champion A.J. Styles at Survivor Series in their first singles match against each other since 2016, which would elevate both championships.
