Last week, WWE kicked off its annual Draft on SmackDown and continued it on Raw’s episode. This year’s Draft is notable for the inclusion of NXT talents, with several wrestlers who had previously worked in the developmental system now on the main roster. These include Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn, the current NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, and Indi Hartwell, the reigning NXT Women’s Champion.
In the past, WWE would typically inform its top stars in advance that they were switching brands, while most other talents would find out at the same time as the fans. However, according to a report by Pwinsider, some wrestlers, including some big names, had no idea they were being moved until it was announced last Friday.
The report further revealed that while one of the NXT stars knew they would be called up, others had no prior knowledge of their roster change. Fans can expect to see these changes take effect after this Saturday’s Backlash pay-per-view.
The WWE Draft is an annual event that sees wrestlers from Raw and SmackDown exchange places to create new storylines and fresh matchups. This year’s Draft has generated a lot of excitement among fans, with the addition of NXT talent bringing a new level of unpredictability to the proceedings.
