The WWE Draft is an important marquee event for WWE superstars, as it gives wrestlers an important chance to set their careers on a different course.
WWE Draft 2024 dates
Notably, the upcoming event will span across two nights in April. According to reports, WWE Draft 2024 will first take place on Smackdown on its April 26 episode. The highly anticipated event will feature an interesting set of dynamics in the roster and ignite lots of new rivalries. The event will eventually conclude on the Monday Night RAW April 29 episode.
Ahead of the draft dates, the WWE posted the following on their social media “X” account, stating:
The #WWEDraft is BACK!” on April 9, 2024.
WWE Draft 2024 predictions
Notably, all RAW and Smackdown superstars will be available for the WWE Draft 2024. Aside from them, upcoming wrestling superstars from NXT can also make the draft. In fact, two of the biggest expectations in the upcoming draft are current NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov and Carmelo Hayes. According to reports, the pair have been described as “locks” for either Raw or SmackDown.
Given below are some other top predictions:
Judgment Day to SmackDown
Nick Aldis could possibly draft The Judgment Day to SmackDown or simply bring in just Damian Priest alone. Bringing in Priest could definitely put the stable into a state of disorder.
Bayley to Raw
Meanwhile, Adam Pearce could draft Bayley over to the red brand, presenting a good opportunity for fresh stories. Bayley would be a good pick for Monday Night Raw and could face off against stars that she’s previously not yet encountered on SmackDown. Moreover, she could possibly separate from her former Damage CTRL stablemates, bringing in more intriguing stories.
Jey Uso to SmackDown
Jey ‘Main Event’ Uso could make the move to SmackDown in the (possible) absence of the Bloodline. Uso could possibly thrive on SmackDown and could easily become one of the top players on SmackDown.
Shinsuke Nakamura to NXT
The upcoming draft could serve as a good opportunity to rejuvenate some stars that are struggling on the main roster. Some stars like Baron Corbin, Dijak, and Finn Bálor have previously revitalised their careers with the same formula. Notably, Shinsuke Nakamura could make the return to NXT and get him into fresh stories.
