This year’s edition of the WWE Draft will be held starting from Friday Night Smackdown this week and then Monday Night RAW next week.
LA Knight, formerly Eli Drake of TNA, made his way to NXT and certainly has impressed fans and pro wrestlers alike with his in-ring skills and promos. He is also already booked for a match on NXT next week against Odyssey Jones.
Adrian Zarian recently spoke on the Mat Men Pro Wrestling Podcast, where he revealed that some NXT Superstars will be drafted during this year’s edition of the WWE Draft. This might included The Hit Row and even LA Knight.
“I was told that everybody is under the assumption that NXT talent is going to be involved in the Draft. It’s gonna be one-sided, it’s not gonna be two sides; but don’t be shocked if you see a main roster Superstar go down to NXT every now and then, like a Mandy Rose, you know someone like that.
It is interesting, because Hit Row is a name that people have thrown out there, LA Knight is a name that people have thrown out there.”
It will be interesting to see which NXT Superstars will be drafted this year.
