The 2024 WWE Draft will begin on the April 26th episode of WWE SmackDown and it will then carry over to the April 29th edition of WWE RAW.
According to a report from Fightful Select, the roster-shuffling is once again being planned to coincide with the NFL Draft in order to capitalize on the media attention around that time.
It is said that the WWE NXT brand will be included in this year’s WWE Draft, and it’s possible that main roster talent will be sent over to NXT.
The Final Testament, Ivar and Natalya appeared on last week’s episode of WWE NXT, which set the stage for other main roster stars to be drafted over as WWE wants to continue putting their focus on making NXT the “third brand” and not just the developmental brand.
According to multiple sources, the next two weeks of WWE NXT programming will focus on the draft as they lead into NXT Spring Breakin’.
As far as WWE NXT talent possibly being drafted to RAW or SmackDown is concerned, several talents have been told by Shawn Michaels that he doesn’t currently know who will be drafted from the brand. With that being said, Carmelo Hayes and Ilja Dragunov are both said to be “a lock” to be drafted. A move for Roxanne Perez is still uncertain. Additionally, the D’Angelo Family and Baron Corbin have both been talked about as potential draftees.
