Lynch vs. Banks advertised for WWE Raw, winning brand gets first pick
Night two of the WWE Draft will also feature a match with draft implications.
WWE is advertising Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks for Monday’s episode of Raw. The match has a stipulation where Raw will get the first pick that night if Lynch wins, and SmackDown will get the first pick if Banks wins.
Lynch — the current Raw Women’s Champion — was drafted to Raw with the first overall pick on night one of the draft. Banks was drafted to SmackDown.
Lynch retained the Raw Women’s title against Banks in a Hell in a Cell match this past Sunday. Banks hasn’t wrestled since being injured in that match.
On tonight’s SmackDown, Seth Rollins faced Roman Reigns to determine which brand would get the first pick on night one of the draft. Rollins won by disqualification after being attacked by The Fiend.
For the draft, WWE split up the list of eligible wrestlers into draft pools for nights one and two.
The Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado is hosting Monday’s Raw.
