WWE fans only have to wait another day to find out which WWE superstars will be drafted where at Smackdown on Tuesday night. 

Some of the predictions concerning splits have included The Lucha Dragons and The Wyatt Family. The Lucha Dragons have been a tag team for some time now, but Kalisto and Sin Cara are listed as singles competitors on the WWE Draft list and it was rumored ahead of the Draft that they would not be drafted to the same brand.

Predictions turned out to be true as they announced in a video at Raw today that they were going their separate ways.

Similar speculations are being made regarding The Wyatt Family with Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, and Bray Wyatt all appearing on the list individually.  Injured Braun Strowman isn't on it at all.

Inquisitr speculates that Luke Harper's prospects flying solo are good when he returns from injury later this year.

So there's a good chance that the Raw and Smackdown split means a likewise split up of The Wyatt Family.

It may also be splitsville for WWE Tag Team champions, The New Day, comprised of Xavier Woods, Big E and Kofi Kingston, who are locked in a rivalry with The Wyatt Family that they are predicted to lose.

It's possible a split could be good for The New Day, as it may save their individual careers if the passage of time proves that the trio have already peaked and are now troughing.

Ring Side News thinks it's possible that Xavier Woods will be making a heel turn soon.  

There is some speculation that the trio will make their final appearance together at WWE Battleground, where they will lose their title and split up.

Whatever happens, the brand split will significantly impact The Wyatt Family and The New Day and it will be interesting to see whether their members sink or swim in the new WWE landscape.
