The 2024 WWE Draft is fast approaching, starting on Friday, April 26th, on SmackDown and concluding on the April 29th edition of Monday Night RAW.
This draft will see RAW, SmackDown, and NXT heavily involved, with stars moving between brands. While specifics about NXT’s participation are still unknown, it’s expected to shake up the roster dynamics.
Following NXT Spring Breakin’ 2024, several standout talents could make the leap to RAW or SmackDown. Let’s explore some potential moves:
#4. Ilja Dragunov’s loss of the NXT Championship sets the stage for his transition to the main roster.
Ilja Dragunov’s intensity and talent make him a top contender. His recent loss at Spring Breakin’ signals a possible move. Fans anticipate a showdown with Gunther or a challenge to Damian Priest.
#3. Carmelo Hayes, hailed as the future of WWE, has already made appearances on SmackDown.
Having faced top talent like Austin Theory and Kevin Owens, Carmelo Hayes is poised for a significant role. His direction on SmackDown or RAW remains uncertain but promises exciting matchups.
#2. Lyra Valkyria’s recent loss at Spring Breakin’ could pave the way for her RAW debut.
With mentor Becky Lynch on RAW, Lyra Valkyria’s transition would be seamless. A partnership with Lynch could lead to a compelling storyline and boost her status.
#1. Baron Corbin’s return to the main roster seems imminent, potentially alongside Bron Breakker.
Baron Corbin’s resurgence in NXT, notably with Bron Breakker as The Wolfdogs, hints at a return to RAW or SmackDown. Aligning with Breakker would continue their successful partnership.
The WWE Draft promises to shake up the terrain, offering fresh rivalries and storylines as talent moves between brands.
