I think it's because people complained about not seeing him, and if he's the hottest character on the show, he should be on the hottest show. They didn't know what else to do.
Draft was totally fake, it felt fake and nothing really interesting happened
If Becky is your #1 star by making her 1st overall, you just sent her to Raw and likely without at least two horsewomen and maybe three, so she's totally going to die as a character unless they figure out how to heat up Asuka, which they won't.
The champion who lost last week was seen and said absolutely nothing.
Not a single thing was built for next week.
Can't imagine why they lost a million viewers from week 1 to week 2.
