As the 18th WWE Draft looms, set to unfold tonight during SmackDown and conclude on Monday’s RAW, backstage murmurs hint at the excitement to come. With the company gearing up for the big event, fresh details have emerged, offering a look into the potential shake-ups.
The draft pool boasts 30 main roster stars alongside eligible NXT Superstars, promising a mix of established names and rising talent.
Notable figures like The Bloodline, including Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga, alongside Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Alpha Academy, are among those up for grabs. While some top stars may be privy to their draft fate beforehand, most await the revelation alongside the WWE Universe.
Reports indicate a veil of uncertainty lingering backstage, with wrestlers largely kept in the dark about their draft status. Despite expectations of clarity as showtime approaches, many remain unaware of their next destination, heightening anticipation for the draft reveal.
In a strategic move, NXT superstars have been excluded from the initial talent pools, adding an element of surprise to their potential involvement. This deliberate decision aims to inject unpredictability into the draft process, keeping fans and wrestlers alike on their toes.
Adding to the excitement, a Draft Watch Party awaits fans at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, offering a front-row seat to the draft drama. Past editions have seen live check-ins from RAW and SmackDown, providing an immersive experience for wrestlers and viewers alike.
Amidst the draft frenzy, the ongoing saga of The Bloodline promises further intrigue on tonight’s SmackDown. With Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga’s recent onslaught on Kevin Owens setting the stage for a showdown, anticipation runs high for the next chapter in their destructive reign.
While Roman Reigns is expected to sit out tonight’s proceedings, his presence looms large as a potential draft pick. Alongside Sikoa, Tonga, and Paul Heyman, former Bloodline member Jey Uso stands ready for a potential return to the fold, adding another layer of excitement to the draft night extravaganza.
