WWE Announces Who Will Be Available To Draft On Tomorrow's SmackDown And Monday's Raw
With the WWE Draft set to begin in less than 24 hours, the company has revealed which superstars will be eligible to be drafted on each particular night of the two-day event. The shakeup will begin on this week's episode of "WWE SmackDown" before concluding on the May 1 edition of "WWE Raw." Each night will provide a distinct pool of superstars eligible to be drafted as individuals or with their respective teams — both nights also feature the option for select "WWE NXT" stars to be drafted, though their specific identities were not confirmed.
There are a number of interesting things to be drawn from the lists provided by WWE. WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, who recently turned heel by attacking Becky Lynch, is eligible to be drafted to one brand or the other, suggesting she will be a regular part of the roster going forward. After it was reported Thursday that Madcap Moss' name had been internally changed back to Riddick Moss, he appears under that name in the "Raw" eligibility pool. Both lists have tag teams and stablemates all listed together, though all indications are that they will be drafted separately, but in perhaps the most interesting nugget, WWE lists The Bloodline (Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa) as being eligible to draft on "SmackDown," while the Usos (listed only under that name) are eligible to draft on "Raw." There are also, as might be expected, significantly more talent available for the draft on "Raw," as befits a three-hour show.
