With SmackDown going live on Tuesdays, the WWE needed something big to shake things up and thus brought back the Brand Extension to the fans' excitement. What better way to kick off this momentous event than with a good ol' WWE Draft?

We've already made some bold predictions concerning the overall draft, but with recent news coming out that 6 NXT stars would be drafted to the main roster, we put our thinking caps on and came up with logical choices of who will be called up to the big leagues.

Tonight on Raw, we will find out who will be the GM of each brand. Whoever it may be, they have a hard task ahead of them, but we think their brand can benefit from each of these NXT performers.

Finn Bálor

Let's start it off with someone who is all but guaranteed to join the main roster. Finn Bálor has been the face of NXT for the past year, winning the NXT Championship off of Kevin Owens and dominating the promotion with a title reign that lasted for 292 days. His feud with Samoa Joe was epic, but Bálor came out of the losing end, and with his last dramatic loss to Shinsuke Nakamura, it's safe to say his NXT days are far behind him.

The NXT fans' loss will be the main roster's gain, as there are few people who are as talented as Bálor. We're not going to argue over which brand he should be drafted in; all we want is to see that epic entrance -and the amazing wrestler that comes with it- on WWE television. Can you imagine a feud between Bálor and AJ Styles over The (Bullet/Bálor ) Club? What happens if he joins the Wyatt Family and unleashes his inner demons? The WWE is sitting on a goldmine with Bálor, hopefully they know how to reap the rewards.

Bayley

It's about time the final Horsewoman comes to the main roster! With the Women's Division being in a lackluster state since WrestleMania, who better to bring it out of its lull than Bayley? Her fellow Horsewoman Becky Lynch has been trying and doing the best with what she's given, and while Charlotte is more than capable as the champion, something just hasn't clicked. Sasha Banks had been injured and just recently returned, so it's as good as time as any to go full throttle and bring in the Bayley.

While the chances are high that she'd be inserted straight into the Championship feud right away, it would be nice to see her climb up the pecking order and gather as many fans as the Hugger possibly can -an easy task for sure, she's so darn loveable- before capturing the Gold. With the Four Horsewomen on the main roster, we can hopefully get quality match after quality match, with a Divas Revolution happening naturally and organically without Stephanie McMahon's hand in it.

American Alpha

Ok, so this is a bit of a cheat, as we included two wrestlers for the price of one, but bare with us. With the announcement that GMs will have the choice of drafting tag teams together or separately, we thought it would be a HUGE mistake if these two weren't drafted as a team. Chad Cable and Jason Jordan are arguably one of the best tag teams in WWE -if not the world- and their combined talent would inject a huge boost in their drafted brand's tag team division.

They had their brief run as NXT Tag Team champions during their feud with The Revival, so they have that feather under their cap, and can now just continue their careers in the big leagues. With the New Day approaching a year-long reign, breaking records in the process, Cable and Jordan would be the perfect team to challenge the champs - and ultimately dethrones them.

Tye Dillinger

Mark our words, the "Perfect 10" will be drafted! Tye Dillinger has improved leaps and bounds from his earlier WWE stint as Gavin Spears (remember him? We don't). He is a great wrestler who can work with just about anyone, and with his "Perfect 10" gimmick, has the ability to get the fans going with his charisma and talent.

We don't see him being inserted into a high-profile feud from the get-go (although that would be awesome). Instead, we see a slow rise higher up the card, challenging for the US or Intercontinental Title in a few months time - perhaps a nice Survivor Series win in his home country and province of Ontario, Canada?

Corey Graves

That's right, we've included announcers for the draft. And why shouldn't they be included? Their voice is just as important to the delivery of the product, offering their perspective that's a crucial part of the experience to the viewer - Joey Styles would tend to agree with us.

With that said, no announcer other than Mauro Ranallo is as entertaining and knowledgable in the WWE right now as Corey Graves is. He offers a unique voice, tiptoeing the lines of face and heel. His colour commentary would compliment any announcer perfectly; if he gets stuck with Michael Cole, at least we'll have one voice to better relate to.

Shinsuke Nakamura

"OOOOHHWOOOOOOO WOOOOOO"

In case you didn't get what that is, that's 10,000+ fans at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts singing along to Shinsuke Nakamura's theme song after he's been drafted.

Ok, the chances of this happening are slim as he debuted just a few months ago and has yet to truly have a real feud in NXT, but just imagine how HUGE it would be if Nakamura is brought up to the main roster for the Brand Split. Whichever brand decides to do draft one of the greatest wrestlers in the world would instantly become the one to watch. His weird mannerisms, infectious personality and incomparable wrestling skill have propelled the King of Strong Style to many fans' "favourite wrestler" lists.

Nakamura does not have bad matches, and putting him up against the best talent in the world -names such as John Cena, AJ Styles and Seth Rollins- will yield amazing results.
