WWE Draft 2021 was reportedly set for late August to shake things up on the main roster. It is an annual process to change the rosters so that some fresh matchups could be delivered in due course. RAW and SmackDown are supposed to change enough to get rid of repetitiveness and to ensure that the viewers keep on engaged. It appears that the fans will have to wait a bit longer to see the next shake-up edition arrive.
It was previously reported that WWE Draft 2021 would begin with the August 30 Monday Night RAW from the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, and then end with the September 3 Friday Night SmackDown from the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. That schedule might have been gone through a slight change.

As per the recent reports from Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men podcast, WWE Draft 2021 will be held on either Friday, October 1 and Monday, October 4, or October 4 and Friday, October 8. Additionally, the source reported that the WWE RAW season premiere is reportedly scheduled for the first week of October. Current plans call for the RAW season premiere episode to air live on the USA Network on October 4.

This means the October 4 RAW episode will be the season premiere episode and Night 1 or Night 2 of the WWE Draft 2021. It should also be noted that Raw will be celebrating the 30th season premiere for WWE’s flagship program. This ensures that particular episode is going to be pretty big, three months from now. No further information on the shows has been disclosed, yet.
WWE is yet to announce the locations for the October shows yet, but they recently noted that those dates will be confirmed in the coming weeks. It’ll be interesting to see what WWE Draft 2021 brings us, eventually, down the road.
They have a lot of options available to shuffle up and present a stacked night of Raw at the beginning of October. Plus, they could do it as live fans return to the crowd. Pushing back things means the current roster will get more of an opportunity to perform in front of live fans, for now.
