The World Wrestling Entertainment will welcome a whole new era as the WWE Draft was recently completed, with the roster being split between the Raw and SmackDown Live brands.

With this brand split, rivalries end but fans can expect new ones to take place as the superstars battle each other for their respective brands.

Big names now represent both teams, with the most notable names like Seth Rollins getting the first pick to represent Raw, while WWE Champion Dean Ambrose will now move to SmackDown Live.

Roman Reigns was picked by Raw in the second round, while John Cena will now help elevate the SmackDown Live brand again after being chosen in the second round as well.

The WWE released a complete result of the draft and many are excited to see how the superstars picked in the first round will perform. Along with Rollins and Ambrose, WWE Women's Champion Charlotte was picked third overall and sent to Raw, while AJ Styles will undoubtedly be a big star in SmackDown Live.

Finally, Finn Balor was sent to Raw as a surprise first round pick coming out of the NXT. Now in the big leagues, it will be interesting to see how his star will continue to rise.

However, the glaring absence is the name of The Undertaker.

One of the biggest names in the industry, the "Phenom" will reportedly not take part in the brand draft.

However, fans and industry observers believe that the superstar will not retire yet and will just continue to appear at pay-per-view events of the WWE, most likely during Wrestlemania.

The Undertaker was last seen back in Wrestlemania 32 when he battled Shane McMahon in a "Hell in a Cell" match.

It is likely that the "Phenom" will resurface when Wrestlemania season arrives and will make very few appearances for the rest of his storied career.
