Night Two of the 2024 WWE Draft brought anticipation and excitement as NXT performers awaited their fate, with several eyeing a move to RAW or SmackDown.
Despite the extended draft rounds, only a handful of NXT talents made the jump to the main roster. Carmelo Hayes was picked by SmackDown on Night One, followed by Kiana James for RAW.
On Night Two, four more NXT standouts received their call-ups. Dijak returned to RAW, marking his second main roster stint after refining his skills in NXT under Triple H’s guidance. Previously associated with the ill-fated Retribution stable, Dijak has since carved his own path, gaining popularity with each electrifying performance.
Blair Davenport joined SmackDown, following in the footsteps of Kiana James as the final televised pick. A seasoned competitor, Davenport’s potential shines bright as she transitions to the main roster.
Lyra Valkyria brought her talents to RAW, poised to make an impact after falling short at NXT’s Spring Breakin’ event. With a history of intense battles against Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley, Valkyria is set to shake up RAW’s women’s division.
The Night Two draft concluded with Ilja Dragunov’s selection by RAW, signaling his readiness for the main stage.
Fresh off a loss at NXT’s Spring Breakin’ event, Dragunov is primed for a new chapter, potentially reigniting his feud with Gunther or aligning with Imperium in the wake of Giovanni Vinci’s departure.
As rosters finalize after Backlash France, anticipation mounts for the debut of these NXT standouts on RAW and SmackDown, promising new rivalries and thrilling matchups in the weeks to come.
