Friday Night SmackDown was the start of the 2020 WWE Draft, with some major stars like Seth Rollins going to SmackDown while The New Day was split up and took the SmackDown Tag Team Championships over to Monday Night Raw. However, not every superstar from the first pool group was announced on the SmackDown broadcast itself. Some were saved for later and were announced on the next episode of Talking Smack.
Here were the picks announced on Talking Smack that rounded out the first group of wrestlers for the 2020 draft:
Humberto Carrillo was picked by Raw
Murphy was picked by SmackDown
Tucker was picked by Raw
Kalisto was picked by SmackDown
Drew Gulak was picked by Raw
This means Heavy Machinery has been split up, as Otis is on SmackDown while Tucker is on Raw. Also, Lucha House Party has also been split up, potentially, but that's not a certainty. That's because Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik, along with Elias, Mickie James and Shorty G, were not picked at all, but were part of this draft pool.
Perhaps they will be added to the Monday pool, as Lars Sullivan was. However, more than likely, WWE is just not sure where to put them and is keeping them as free agents to be decided at another time.
