What is the WWE Draft?

Who will be drafted?
A WWE draft is an event, used by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE, in which wrestlers are reassigned to different brands. The main roster is split into two separate brands, Raw and SmackDown. These rosters are made up of WWE’s main television programs, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown. There is also a tertiary brand, NXT, which currently airs on the USA Network on Wednesday nights.
The first draft took place on March 25, 2002 and has since occurred sporadically to replenish the rosters of the two main brands. As NXT has grown in popularity, it too has had drafts to determine its roster. The most recent draft took place in October 2019.
There is currently no official word on when the next WWE draft will take place in 2021. However, given the changes that have taken place within WWE over the past year, it seems likely that a draft will happen at some point during the year. This could occur as early as January or February, or as late as December. Keep an eye out for any official announcements from WWE regarding the draft!

What are the rules of the WWE Draft?
In the WWE, the annual draft is used as a way to refresh the rosters of the company’s two main brands, RAW and SmackDown. The draft usually takes place in July, and it is a major event that is heavily promoted by WWE.
The rules of the draft are simple: each brand selects Superstars from the other brand until their roster is full.
There are a few exceptions to this rule. First, tag teams can be split up if one member is drafted to a different brand than the other. Second, certain Superstars are “untouchable” and cannot be drafted to the other brand. Finally, NXT Superstars can be drafted to RAW or SmackDown, but they cannot be drafted to both brands.

Roster changes are then confirmed on WWE’s weekly television programming. The first draft in company history was held on March 25, 2002, while the most recent took place on October 11, 2019.
