Starting two weeks ago on 2 Dynamite Dudes With Attitude (the premiere AEW podcast on WrestleZone) the DeAngelo Brothers began the very first round of the AEW Draft. The objective is simple and sports-like: who can assemble the best roster between Dominic & Marcus?
The guidelines for the draft are as follows:
AEW Roster Guidelines
- 10 men’s singles selections.
- 5 women’s division selections.
- 5 tag team division selections.
- 3 manager selections.
- Factions do not matter.
- Wrestlers must have wrestled in AEW at least once to count (unless officially signed by the company).
- One “Jack Tunney” authority figure must be appointed to represent their respective teams (this personality must have appeared on AEW programming).
- Managers must have made an on-air appearance on AEW television to count.
- If the person or team is selected a champion, the titles are on both shows so that aspect is a moot point.
ROUND 1
Dominic appointed Bret Hart as his AEW “Jack Tunney” GM while Marcus selected “Iron” Mike Tyson. After a coin flip, it was determined that Marcus would be selecting first overall. Therefore, the first round went as follows:
- Marcus selected: CODY RHODES
- Dominic selected: JON MOXLEY
- Marcus selected: CHRIS JERICHO
- Dominic selected: “ABSOLUTE” RICKY STARKS
- Marcus selected: KENNY OMEGA
- Dominic selected: THUNDER ROSA
ROUND 2
Since Marcus drafted first last week, Dominic had the rights to select first in week two. Round two went as follows:
- Dominic selected: MJF
- Marcus selected: FTR
- Dominic selected: STING
- Marcus selected: DARBY ALLIN
- Dominic selected: THE YOUNG BUCKS
- Marcus selected: SERENA DEEB
