The WWE Draft 2024 is on the horizon, promising to shake up RAW and SmackDown’s rosters with top-tier talent. Set to kick off on SmackDown this week and conclude on RAW next Monday, anticipation runs high for the roster reshuffle.
With WWE unveiling the Draft rules, ensuring current champions remain on their respective brands, attention turns to potential top picks for SmackDown’s draft night.
1. Roman Reigns: Reigning at Risk?
Roman Reigns’ long-standing reign as the top draft pick faces uncertainty following his WrestleMania XL defeat. While his absence may jeopardize his status, finding a suitable replacement remains a daunting task.
2. Bianca Belair: A Return to Prominence?
Bianca Belair, sidelined from SmackDown’s championship scene, stands poised for a resurgence. Whether renewing rivalries with Bayley or forging new paths with Jade Cargill, Belair’s return promises intrigue.
3. AJ Styles: Fueling the Fire
AJ Styles’ villainous turn has reignited the SmackDown terrain, with a heated feud against Cody Rhodes brewing. As he vies for the Undisputed WWE Championship, SmackDown looks to retain the cunning competitor.
4. LA Knight: Championship Aspirations
LA Knight’s meteoric rise positions him as a coveted asset for SmackDown. With momentum from WrestleMania and a title push on the horizon, retaining Knight becomes imperative for the blue brand.
5. Bron Breakker: NXT’s Rising Star
Bron Breakker’s transition to SmackDown earlier this year foreshadows his potential as a top draft pick. With limited appearances showcasing his prowess, Breakker’s inclusion sets the stage for his main roster ascent.
As SmackDown prepares to make its selections, the WWE Draft 2024 promises to usher in a new era of excitement, unpredictability, and fresh rivalries on the blue brand.
