Many WWE Talent Are Expecting Draft To Happen Soon

The WWE Draft could be upon us.

With WWE’s new regime, a lot of roster movement has already been made, and talent believe there could be more on the way. There are several Raw stars scheduled for the first Smackdown following Clash at the Castle on September 9. On the other side of things, Smackdown talent are scheduled for Raw episodes internally for the September 4 and 11 dates. This has led talent to speculate internally that the WWE Draft will be shortly following the Clash at the Castle PPV. Talent have not had this confirmed to them yet, but there have been other things they have said to lead them to believe to the case.

We’re told that writers have noted that repackages are also more likely following this date as opposed to the immediate future. For some of the talent that are wildly speculated to get repackaged (which haven’t been confirmed) Max Dupri appeared on WWE Smackdown, and T-Bar appeared on this week’s Main Event.

Thus far, talent we’ve heard from haven’t been informed explicitly about a draft, much less what brand they’ll end up on if and when it happens.
