Current Plans WWE Draft 2021, KOTR And QOTR Tournaments

As reported earlier, there have been some plans to host WWE Draft 2021 edition, sooner than later ensuring that WWE Raw and Smackdown roster will soon be looking a lot different, down the road. Originally supposed to go down after Summerslam 2021, the process was pushed back a bit but it will be happening, switching things for good on WWE programming.

As of now, WWE Draft 2021 is reportedly scheduled to begin on October 1. After being rumored to happen earlier this summer, it was reported by Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men wrestling podcast that it’s now been internally confirmed that the Draft will begin during the October 1 edition of SmackDown on FOX which will then wrap with the October 4 edition of RAW.

“Friday night SmackDown gets the Draft on the first night, October 1st. Monday, October 4th the Draft comes to RAW.”

The October 4 SmackDown, which is the beginning night of WWE Draft 2021 was originally scheduled to take place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana but it was shifted to the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland due to Hurricane Ida. The October 4 RAW show is currently scheduled to take place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

WWE Draft 2021 to be aligned with Raw season premiere

It was previously reported that the October 4 RAW show will also mark the 30th season premiere of Monday Night Raw. There’s no confirmation is available on whether that has been lately changed. Going by the current situation, the October 4 episode of Raw would feature WWE Draft 2021 concluding night as well as the season premiere contents. On a related note, the October 8 SmackDown from the SAP Center in San Jose, California will mark the blue brand season premiere.

Apart from WWE Draft 2021 related news, the 2021 King of the Ring Tournament and the inaugural Queen of the Ring Tournament should begin with the SmackDown season premiere and then continue on RAW and SmackDown. As reported earlier, the finals of these two tourneys should take place at the 2021 Crown Jewel event from Saudi Arabia on Thursday, October 21.

It’s been noted by Wrestling INC that WWE could be planning to have the RAW season premiere on October 4, and then carry out matches from the red brand on the October 11 RAW from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. Official announcements regarding WWE Draft 2021, KOTR, and QOTR tournaments should be made by the WWE in due course.
