WWE Draft is almost here and it could turn the biggest wrestling promotion in the world upside down. As the fans wanted it for a long-time WWE came up with the idea of the brand split and a brand extension Draft. From today onwards, Smackdown will start airing live on the USA Network on every Tuesday. The countdown begins as the WWE Draft will finally look to equalize both the Raw and Smackdown brand.
Now, on the verge of the biggest reconstruction of the company, the rules, and regulations for the Draft was noted earlier. The top names that will be featuring in the newly divided WWE roster post-WWE Smackdown Live scenario are John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollin, Dean Ambrose etc. alongside the other current champions. Also, the NXT roster members will be up for grabs.
Though, there are some big worthy names that are not likely to be featured on the list, as reported by wrestlezone.com. The Undertaker is topping the list who is not supposed to be back until next year’s Wrestlemania. Triple H is the next in the list who though can return for Summerslam. These two is going to be enrolled under the same category who will have one-off matches in worthy pay-per-views. They would face the scheduled superstar from the respective brand and is not going to effect the Draft list.
Apart from that, injured Luke Harper from the Wyatt Family is not advertised, for the draft too. Ryback who is not in a good term with the company from quite a long time now, will not be considered as Draft picks. The former WWE Divas champion, Nikki Bella has not also been mentioned on the list. From the Women’s roster injured Tamina and Naomi will not be included in the list. Alongside them, Rosa Mendes who recently gave birth to a child, will also not be a part of the Draft.
There will be few surprises that will occur on the WWE Draft night as we can expect big returns to the rosters. Also, the interesting part will be to see whether any faction like The New Day or The Wyatt family gets separated.
