One of the most exciting times in wrestling industry is during the traditional WWE Draft. The company has been carrying on the Draft at significant intervals to reinvigorate both the Raw and SmackDown rosters. Over the years, the WWE Universe has also taken quite an interest in seeing their favourite superstars and factions exchange brands. According to various sources, WWE will be carrying out the Draft this year after WrestleMania 39.

Ever since Raw and SmackDown moved to their respective networks, WWE felt the need for a brand split within the company. As a result, WWE has carried out the Draft at times to bring a fresh feel to both rosters. It has its own significance to keep both the roster’s superstars exclusively for their respective brands under USA Network and Fox. However, in recent times, WWE has ended the brand split. The superstars are seen to cross paths and move around both brands.

According to Dave Meltzer, the company has been looking to hold a Draft this year after WrestleMania 39. He added that initially the plans were to hold the Draft in October last year, but there were changes in plans. “There’s been some talk of waiting until after WrestleMania to do it,” Meltzer said. Metaphorically, WrestleMania marks the end of the season, and beyond that, a new one begins. Therefore, the company is looking for a superstar shakeup to revitalize the rosters after Mania.

However, Xero News also reported the same and said that it wouldn’t be right after WrestleMania. It said there would be a vignette teaser before the Draft. Besides, USA Network and Fox want major names like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins to be exclusively associated with their brands. As a result, the WWE Universe will get to witness some major names and factions changing their brands. There are also reports of NXT stars being included this year in the WWE Draft.

Therefore, it will be interesting to see how WWE organizes the Draft to breathe new life into Raw and SmackDown. It will rejuvenate the superstars on both rosters. Thus, it appears that WWE will officially announce the date of the Draft in the coming weeks.
