WWE Talents Expected To Be Traded Brands Following The Draft

WWE still shuffling the rosters following the Draft

WWE held the 2024 Draft on the April 26 edition of Friday Night SmackDown and the April 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, with several NXT call-ups taking place across the two nights, while a number of talents ended up moving main roster brands. 

Many found the WWE Draft underwhelming as neither brand saw a massive shake-up but the company are "generally pleased" with how the Draft played out, according to WrestleVotes. That doesn't mean the company are finished shuffling the rosters, however, and WrestleVotes noted that one or two trades are expected to be carried out before the new rosters are locked in on the post-Backlash edition of Raw.

"Sources indicate that WWE is generally pleased with the draft results and how everything played out on TV. I've been told they didn't want too much high level shuffling as they were satisfied with the pre-draft breakdowns at the top of the card. It's worth mentioning that a trade or two is expected before Monday's 'roster-locking' deadline," WrestleVotes tweeted.

There is no word on which talents will end up being traded to either Raw or SmackDown but WWE do still have the May 3 episode of SmackDown and the Backlash pay-per-view on May 4 before next week's Raw.
