WWE is buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming Draft, with backstage leaks hinting at some controversial decisions post-roster shuffle.
The 2024 WWE Draft kicks off on April 26 during SmackDown from Cincinnati, Ohio, and concludes on April 29 at RAW from Kansas City, Missouri. Amidst the excitement, insider updates on CM Punk’s status and NXT’s role post-WrestleMania Week have surfaced.
Trick Williams, riding high with recent victories over Carmelo Hayes, was rumored for a main roster promotion.
However, a new report from Fightful Select suggests otherwise. Williams is reportedly off the RAW and SmackDown consideration list and is set to stay in NXT, pending a title challenge.
Despite draft exclusion, WWE sees Williams as a key figure in NXT post-Draft. His potential feuds, including a possible summer showdown with Dijak, are generating buzz. However, uncertainties loom, notably Dijak’s contract status.
NXT officials have long seen Williams as a future star, praising his work ethic and talent.
Despite initial setbacks in 2021, Williams earned backstage acclaim during main roster appearances. WWE legend Shawn Michaels recently lauded Williams’ journey from college athlete to WWE Superstar on social media.
As the Draft approaches, WWE continues to make strategic talent decisions, ensuring that stars like Trick Williams remain integral to their programming.
