On this year’s WWE Draft, the former WWE champion Drew McIntyre and Raw Women’s champion Charlotte Flair moved to SmackDown from Raw. WWE Hall of Fame Booker T says it’s a huge move for blue brand.
On the recent edition of WWE Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T talked about the recent draft picks of Friday Night SmackDown and stated that Drew McIntyre and Charlotte Flair move is a big deal.
“For FOX, that’s a big catch for them. Drew McIntyre, through the pandemic, he proved himself as far as being a soldier, a guy that’s willing to push forward through adversity and in times we’ve never been before, he still shined. Drew’s a big catch for SmackDown – and it’s one of the things I talk about all the time: having an international guy on the show, which translates to international fans watching because they love Drew McIntyre.
“Charlotte Flair, that’s a huge grab for FOX as well, being on Friday nights. Charlotte Flair, as much as she brings to the table, she is the, you know, this generation’s Ric Flair. She wears that mantle and wears it very, very well. To have those two on SmackDown is huge,” said the two-time Hall of Famer. (H/T: Sportskeeda)
