Night One of WWE’s Draft took place on last night’s Friday Night SmackDown. It definitely shook things up for all three brands, i.e., SmackDown, RAW, and NXT. There were even some surprising switches like RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair being drafted to SmackDown. While the second night of the draft is taking place on RAW this upcoming week, The SmackDown LowDown provided some more updates on the draft.
On the SmackDown LowDown talk show, the names of some more wrestlers who were drafted were revealed. However, to get the complete draft, fans would have to wait until Monday. The final list of superstars would be revealed there.
The SmackDown LowDown surprisingly announced that along with the additional wrestlers who would be drafted to RAW or SmackDown, there would also be free agents like Dolph Ziggler, Omos along with MVP, Mustafa Ali, and NXT call-up Von Wagner, who can appear on both shows. Unlike Omos, whose manager, MVP, had already negotiated his free agent position, there has been no explanation as to why stars like Mustafa Ali and Dolph Ziggler were not drafted by either of the brands.
Below is the list of WWE superstars who are drafted to RAW and SmackDown, as revealed on SmackDown LowDown:
Superstars drafted to Monday Night RAW:
- Erik and Ivar(The Viking Raiders) along with Valhalla

What to expect from Night Two of WWE’s Draft?
Night One of WWE’s Draft shook things up a lot for all three brands of WWE. Superstars like Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, and Drew McIntyre have been shuffled on last night’s draft.
Night Two of the draft continues on Monday Night RAW. There are still many more names left to be announced. Since Intercontinental Champion Gunther and RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair have exchanged brands, it seems current United States Champion Austin Theory and SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley will exchange their respective brands as well.
The Visionary Seth Rollins might also be headed to SmackDown. He has accomplished everything there is to accomplish on RAW and it’s time for him to freshen things up on the blue brand. Charlotte Flair might remain on SmackDown to challenge Bianca Belair, while Brock Lesnar could remain on RAW to continue his feud with Cody Rhodes.
