Ep. 26 Smackdown Vs. Raw - The Draft W/ Hunter P.

That Don't Work for Me, Brother · May 7, 2026 · 1h 36m

This week on That Don’t Work For Me Brother, we’re going back to the original 2002 WWE brand split — when Vince McMahon and Ric Flair turned Raw and SmackDown into rival companies overnight. The roster draft, the war for control, the death of the Attitude Era, and the beginning of WWE’s weird corporate civil war where every superstar suddenly had “brand loyalty.” From The Rock going first overall to Brock Lesnar becoming the future of SmackDown, we’re revisiting one of the strangest and most important resets in wrestling history, brother.
