The much-anticipated WWE Draft took place on the WWE Smackdown Live from DCU center in Worcester, Massachusetts last week on July 19th. The superstars who were drafted to either blue or red brand will be looking to settle things down in their respective locker rooms and will wait what the future hold for them. But there are a number of superstars who were not part of the Draft despite they are still in the list of the active roster. Here they are with reasons:
Nikki Bella (Just got medically cleared to compete)
Brie Bella (In a hiatus for rumored pregnancy reason, not officially announced)
Tyson Kidd (Battling a career-threatening neck injury)
Emma (Getting over from disc injury)
Heath Slater (Free agent as per the storyline)
Luke Harper (Recovering from knee injury)
Paul Heyman (Contract expired but due to renew with the beast’s appearance)
Ryback (Will exit the company once the contract expires)
Rosa Mendes (In a maternity leave)
Tamina Snuka (In the injury list)
Triple H (Part time performer)
The Rock (Part-time performer)
The Undertaker (Part time performer)
As earlier reports, The Undertaker still is not on the same page with Mr. McMahon with his next appearance. He said that the Wrestlemania 32 appearance was his last and he does not want to extend the contract further. Apart from that, Alberto Del Rio might be leaving the company once his contract expires in October, this year. His ex-girlfriend Paige is also rumored to leave WWE in 2017, with no whatsoever push coming in their way.
The WWE Draft started with the first pick chosen by Stephanie McMahon for Raw and it was for Seth Rollins. Smackdown chose Dean Ambrose for their roster as their first pick. After that, there were 11 rounds of Draft pickings throughout the night. Raw has picked 33 members for their roster where the blue brand got 26 for them. Including the list were NXT members like Finn Balor, Carmella, Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, Mojo Rawley, American Alpha etc.
