April 30th, 2032.

Michael Cole, Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, Tony Khan, Jerry Jarrett, Billy Corgan, Paul Heyman, Theodore Long, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, and John Laurinaitis make their way down to the ring.

Vince McMahon: "It's time to get this thing underway. I worked hard to finally get this deal in place and, by God, it's going to go exactly the way I say. Wrestling has been fragmented for the better part of the last three decades. Many of you may blame me for the current state of things and....I hope you do. Because every decision I have made has led to this moment. A 10 brand war for the ages, all under my leadership, but to be more fair, I will only run one of them, Monday Night RAW. Then, when everyone else has run their brands into the ground and everyone eagerly awaits what I put out each week, we will see who has the last laugh. I will prove once and for all that I...am what's best for business. And make no mistake about it, whoever you pick is absolutely final until one year from tonight at the next draft, so choose wisely. Everyone is eligible to be drafted, but to be a bit more unique, gimmicks will be drafted separately. What do I mean by this? Well it's quite simple, say you want all 4 faces of Foley, in order to do that you will need to draft them all separately. This means we could see Mankind in one place and Mick Foley in another, talk about chaos. The landscape of professional wrestling will never be the same after tonight." *Everyone shakes hands with each other*

*Michael Cole steps up to the podium, the crowd boos* Cole: "Don't worry ladies and gentlemen, just because I was selected to be the new General Manager of NXT does not mean that you will never see me lace up my boots again. Now, without further delay, my NXT has been gifted with the number one pick in this massive draft. I am so very, very proud to be able to get this individual. The number one overall pick out of any wrestler in the history of the world....comes to me Michael Cole, so on behalf of IWC NXT, I, Michael Cole, select........

'The Monster' Abyss!"

*Camera close up on Abyss in his locker room* Adamle: "There you have it, the first pick in the draft. The General Managers will now head back to their war rooms to deliberate on their next picks and if this one changed anything. We are hot off the heels of one of the biggest talent acquisitions in wrestling history and everything has been turned on its head. Will it be a hit or will it crash and burn?"

Vince Russo: "I know many of you will be disappointed that I am the one running Nitro now, but stick around, you might see that I have changed. Maybe this first pick will even prove that to you, and I am very proud to welcome this individual as the second overall pick. Mr. Mayor, wherever you are, you better be paying attention because with this pick, we will see exactly how this 'gimmick rule' will divide the playing field. Admittedly, a similar to pick to my adversary, but I need people to see the fire in my eyes. This man is a Hall of Fame level candidate and that man is........

(Masked) Kane. Thank you."

Adamle: "Wow. Two masks taking the top spots here in this world changing draft. *Camera cuts to Kane destroying equipment in the back* Oh, Kane is not taking this well."

Eric Bischoff: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. You know, I consider my own personal goal to at least run Russo out of business. If I do nothing else in this, I will, at a minimum, put on a better show. For the sake of time, we all just decided that this initial draft will go on indefinitely until everyone has been drafted and moving forward the draft will swap only 300 wrestlers. We will be going through everyone from your favorites to people you forgot even existed because we have the chance to run our promotions around anyone. Now, Russo says he picked Kane to show he's a changed man, and he clearly doesn't think he can control the Undertaker. I know for a fact that a certain individual is high on Russo's card, so I have to take him off the board first. I know that this person has said that they want to work for me. So, on behalf of Thunder I choose......Dominik Mysterio."

Adamle: "Jaws are on the floor. Nobody expected anyone to take Dominik Mysterio this early. Although, I'm getting word that Dominik Mysterio himself said that he should have been chosen first by Michael Cole, but I doubt he will find many people to agree with that assessment with the exception of Bischoff, I guess."

Thunder:
General Manager: Eric Bischoff

Roster:

2. Ken PateraTony Khan: "A lot of people in my war room have told me that Mr. Perfect is the perfect pick. Something that is said every time there's a draft. But, I have considered it. I want someone who is going to be tremendous for us to have on AEW Dynamite and I'm going to be the first to talk about the accomplishments of my pick to perfectly show why I chose them. This man was part of the 2020 rivalry of the year with Adam Cole. He is coming home to Dynamite, you all have been put on notice, because I have selected.....

Pat McAfee."

Adamle: "Certainly an opening round full of surprises, almost as if there was an unspoken agreement to leave certain people untouched until later. However, I told everyone that Khan was going to take Pat McAfee. Always bet on Adamle."

Jerry Jarrett: "We all have an endless well of talent to choose from. Everyone has their pros and cons. I can't have Abyss or [Masked] Kane, but I'll tell you one thing, I will get every one in my top ten outside of them one way or another. I know that all of the other General Managers have been talking to this individual, so I'm going to throw them all off here. I just talked to him last week and he's ready to come work for me. So, on behalf of TNA Wrestling, I choose......

The Hitman, Bret Hart."

Adamle: "Oh wow, perhaps the largest name to be taken thus far. Huge choice there."

Billy Corgan: "They gave me a tiny office to plan my strategy out in. They gave me Todd Philips to bounce ideas off of. The once great NWA has been reduced to essentially a janitor's closet. Well, I have the potential to build our brand anew. Every pick is important here, but anyone who hopes I pick them should be very interested in working with this individual. Everyone, and I do mean everyone will be dealing with him directly, and so, on behalf of the National Wrestling Alliance, I have chosen....

A..J..Styles!"

Paul Heyman: "I'm going to try to keep this brief. On behalf of Extreme Championship Wrestling, I have selected....

Seth Rollins!"

Adamle: "As the crowd seems to be against Heyman, Rollins leaves the locker room, going past his former Shield teammates, to get...a photo op with his new boss? Regardless, Rollins is one of the biggest names within the last decade. He will appear exclusively, moving forward, on ECW. There's no telling what Heyman has planned as he leaves Rollins without so much as a handshake."

Theodore Long: "Holla, holla, holla! I am sure you are all wondering what my plan is for a current edition of WWF Smackdown! Anyone I choose I am proud to welcome in to my ranks, as you all know. I desperately wanted Bret Hart I have to admit. The following individual is in fact welcome, so long as he never says the term "Ucey" ever again. Which means he should be none too happy. I have selected on behalf of WWF Smackdown....

Jimmy Uso!"

Vincent Kennedy McMahon: "None of you actually thought I'd give up my flagship show, did you? Anybody I choose will owe me some credit for the career they have now. This first round, that has been boring so far, is about to heat up courtesy of yours truly. Who will join me on my quest to prove that I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be? Will it be Dean Ambrose? Will it be Roman Reigns? Maybe it will be my own son, Shane. No, it will actually be none of those individuals because on behalf of Monday Night Raw, I Vince McMahon, choose....with my first pick, I am proud to announce, future champion.....

Steve Maclin. Thank you."

John Laurinaitis: "When I was told that they wanted me to helm a resurrected Florida Championship Wrestling, I had to be disappointed. It hasn't existed for nearly a decade and a half, but I kind of jumped at the chance when they said that I could build it from the ground up. People power? No, it's finally time to showcase my actual experience with the wrestling business. I have such an incredible amount of talent at my disposal, how could I possibly go wrong? *The fans are booing quite loudly, Laurinaitis makes to leave* Perhaps you don't want to know who my pick is to close out the round? Well, that's too bad, because I, John Laurinaitis, on behalf of FCW have selected......

Goldberg!" *Shot of Goldberg's locker room door, nothing else*

Adamle: “And with that the first round has concluded. I hope you all have an understanding of what these shows will end up looking like from that. But, if not, here’s the order for the second Round:

Theodore Long’s Smackdown
Eric Bischoff’s Thunder
Michael Cole’s NXT
Vincent K. McMahon’s RAW
John Laurinaitis’ FCW
Paul Heyman’s ECW
Tony Khan’s AEW Dynamite
Billy Corgan’s NWA
Jerry Jarrett’s TNA Impact
Vince Russo’s WCW Nitro

Don’t forget. It’s solely on you, the viewers, to determine who is putting out the best product. And that can begin as early as right now, as you judge each and every draft pick as they happen.”


Teddy Long: “Maybe this is a foolish pick to kick things off this round, but the man is a WWE Hall of Famer. So, I choose……

Special Delivery Jones.”

Bischoff: “Everyone is waiting with a quiet awe to see who will join Dominik Mysterio on Thunder, but the truth is, I’m not even sure right now and I’m up. McMahon thinks that his show is still the superior brand, but he forgot that it is a clean slate. Nobody knows what this kid Dominik Mysterio will do on my roster, not even me, nothing he has done in the past matters. Maybe he’ll be my first world champion, after all, we weren’t given as many championships as other brands so his options are limited. I choose former WWF Intercontinental Champion…

Ken Patera!”

Michael Cole: "In this second round, and all of the subsequent, rounds, is going to come down to luck, because if I had been the tenth to choose this round I might not have gotten this person. This is someone who I want to kick things off right with, I want them to win my World Title and be my first champion. Win my tag team championships, I want them to be my first triple crown winner. Hopefully so they don't feel the need to hurt me. With this pick, I also decided to sign a free agent who was not meant to be a part of the draft. I have chosen......

CM Punk."
