News On WWE Draft, What Talent Knows So Far (Patreon)
Content
WWE Draft is upon us, and as is tradition, WWE is playing it close to the vest.
Talent across the roster that Fightful have spoken to haven't been given any details about the upcoming draft, and if they'll move accordingly. Last year, one talent was able to learn some of the planned moves, and clued in some of the other wrestlers ahead of time.
Fightful was able to speak to top names on Raw, Smackdown, and NXT and as of the middle of the week, none had any idea where they were supposed to go in the draft. One top name said they expected it would be about how it usually is, with them not knowing. We also learned that those stuck in NXT limbo between the main roster weren't told where they'd be drafted to or if they'd even be drafted.
In addition, Fightful was told that names in talent relations didn't even know where things would be headed as of Wednesday. On Thursday, Fightful was told by talent that they also didn't know what the format was supposed to be.
We've confirmed as of 12:30 PM EST Friday, that while there may be some crossover, there are several top WWE Raw stars who are not traveling to the site of Smackdown tonight.
