The forthcoming 2024 WWE Draft promises to ignite excitement and speculation as it unfolds across SmackDown and RAW, echoing the anticipation surrounding the NFL Draft.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Draft is the potential for stars to switch brands, reshaping the terrain of WWE. Last year, notable transfers like Gunther’s move to RAW and Bobby Lashley’s shift to SmackDown underscored the impact of these roster changes.
Under the helm of Triple H for the first time without Vince McMahon, this year’s Draft may reveal surprises that keep fans on the edge of their seats.
#4. Potential Faction Shake-Ups
Amidst whispers of a heel turn for Chad Gable, speculation mounts about the formation of a new faction alongside The Creeds.
Gable’s alliance with The Creeds could inject fresh dynamics into the red brand’s terrain, with the addition of highly touted prospect Gable Steveson adding a layer of intrigue to the mix.
#3. Star-Studded Returns
The Draft presents an opportune moment for the reemergence of familiar faces, with Superstars like Alexa Bliss, Carmella, and Braun Strowman poised for potential comebacks.
Additionally, the possibility of surprise appearances or picks from NXT champions adds an element of unpredictability to the Draft proceedings.
#2. NXT Champions in the Mix
Learning from past missteps, WWE aims to avoid repeating the error of drafting current NXT champions without clarity on their status.
With a fresh approach, the Draft may see NXT stars transitioning to the main roster while still holding championship gold, ensuring a smoother integration into the WWE terrain.
#1. Impending Group Dismantlings
As tradition dictates, the Draft often heralds the dissolution of teams or factions, paving the way for individual trajectories. The Judgment Day, Imperium, and other groups may face potential splits, presenting opportunities for solo pursuits and new alliances amidst the Draft shuffle.
With high-stakes decisions looming and the potential for unexpected twists, the 2024 WWE Draft promises to deliver moments of suspense, excitement, and strategic maneuvering as Superstars await their fate on SmackDown and RAW.
