The 2023 WWE Draft officially kicked off on Friday Night SmackDown last week and some big names were drafted such as Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Edge, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and more.
More wrestlers were drafted the next day on SmackDown LowDown, but unfortunately a few names were not drafted which means Mustafa Ali, Dolph Ziggler, Von Wagner and Omos are now free agents.
