WWE Releases Superstar Eligibility List For Both Nights Of 2023 WWE Draft

WWE has announced which Superstars will be eligible to be drafted on the first and second nights of the WWE 2023 Draft. 

Once again, the WWE Draft will be spread out between an episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown and WWE Monday Night Raw. Beginning on Friday, April 28, and ending on Monday, May 1, 2023, the WWE Draft promises to shake things up again and clarify the World Championship situation across both brands. 

A day before the 2023 WWE Draft, WWE issued the list of superstars eligible to be drafted across both nights, providing answers regarding which Superstars are grouped as a single pick in the draft.  For example, Rhea Ripley is eligible to be drafted independently, but the other three members of Judgment Day, Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio, are listed as one pick.
