It’s been rumored that the WWE Draft will go sooner than expected and in October for good.
With the draft, WrestleMania 37 is expected to hold a lot of showdowns and it would be tough to see them all at the event. Some RAW stars will be heading to Smackdown while others will go to Raw after Mania and back again in September.
“Talent have not had this confirmed to them yet, but there have been other things they have said to lead them to believe to the case. We’re told that writers have noted that repackages are also more likely following this date as opposed to the immediate future.”
Does WWE still do a draft?
The draft was first used during the brand split of 2002. It has been called the WWE Draft Lottery (2004–2005) and later simply as the “Draft” (2007–2011). In 2011, WWE ended the brand split.
What month is the WWE Draft 2022?
A new report from Ringside News has revealed that the WWE Draft is reportedly scheduled for September 2022. It was originally set for September 2021 but WWE moved those dates back to October 1st and October 4th.
How does WWE Draft work?
The WWE Draft is a measure the company uses to re-assign superstars to different shows. It is an annual event in which superstars are drafted, so that show’s roster becomes exclusive. Since both Raw and Smackdown have individual rosters, it serves as a portal to bring certain wrestlers from one show to the other for the next year.
