Lots more on the WWE Draft!! (Patreon)

Select WWE talent were informed where they'd be drafted on Thursday night ahead of being picked on Friday for the WWE Draft. We're told that a mix of Vince McMahon and talent relations made calls to let some of the Superstars know where they'd land.

There were numerous people stuck in limbo between NXT and WWE who learned various things. Some weren't told until after the draft started that they wouldn't be drafted, some learned as their names were called, and others were prepared for TV.

The majority of names selected Monday had not known of plans by the time the draft started the prior Monday, with some exceptions. There were several talent who had to make travel plans and put two and two together, and once the first round happened, many assumed they'd be moving brands, though oddly, some that didn't switch brands weren't informed of such.
