Mark Henry Says SmackDown Should Draft Rhea Ripley First On WWE Raw Tonight

During the latest "Busted Open Radio," Mark Henry made it clear that if he could have the first pick on tonight's WWE Draft for "WWE SmackDown" he would be inclined to say, "I want to draft another powerful, powerful female wrestler to bolster that side."

That is why Rhea Ripley would be the first choice that the WWE Hall Of Famer would make. Of course, The Judgment Day star is already the Women's Champion for the blue brand, but right now she is technically a member of the "WWE Raw" roster. However, moving Ripley across to Friday nights would mean that both she and Bianca Belair would be part of the same show, which could lead to a major dream match between the champions. 

Fans were left wondering what WWE would do regarding the two titles after the "EST Of WWE" was moved across to "SmackDown," but in the past when one champion has been moved the other has typically gone the other way. This could lead to Ripley remaining on the red brand which might force WWE into having them simply swap the titles as people such as Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair have done in the past. 

Ripley and the rest of Judgment Day will find out their fate tonight, as all four members of the group are eligible for selection. However, Ripley was interestingly listed on her own when it comes to draft eligibility, meanwhile, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and Damian Priest can all be selected as a unit, meaning tonight could be the end of the faction as we know it.
