Tag Teams listed not actual tag teams

[edit]

So I went back to the linked article containing the roster eligible to be drafted and I don't think we should be listing The Club was broken up as the only two that were a team Gallows and Anderson. AJ Styles counted only as an individual. Same goes for the Wyatt Family (Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, etc.). They may function as a team/faction but they weren't eligible to be drafted as one group. They shouldn't be listed as a team that could be broken up as they weren't recognized as a team to begin with. retched (talk) 01:34, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's original research on your part and quite questionable. The rules said teams could be drafted as a unit but also that individuals could be drafted alone. There's no saying (and given the scripted nature of the affair: no need to say) whether The Club, The Social Outcasts or The Wyatt Family could have been drafted as a unit. As it went down, Gallows & Anderson were drafted as a team (after AJ Styles had already been drafted) while Styles and members of the other groups were drafted individually (or not at all).

Draft rules falsification

[edit]

Some one recently added that claim to the draft rules that NXT champions were exempt from being included in the six draft picks from that brand. After I had trouble opening one of the sources given for the rules - the other sources said nothing of the kind and I clearly remember that no such restriction was included when the rules were presented on air - I managed to open a cached version of the article [1], which reads:

With tonight's WWE Draft on the premiere of SmackDown Live on USA Network fast approaching, WWE.com answers the biggest questions of the WWE Universe with a
breakdown of the official rules, regulations and procedures for one of the biggest nights in WWE history — including a major update that will change the face of
NXT as well.
The rules for the WWE Draft are as follows:
   Raw has the first overall pick
   Since SmackDown Live is a two-hour show and Raw is three hours, for every two picks SmackDown Live receives, Raw will receive three picks
   Tag teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team​
   Six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster​
The list of current WWE Superstars eligible for the WWE Draft will be as follows:

Hence the insertion was false. Str1977 (talk) 10:07, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
