WWE Announces Rules For The Draft, Six NXT Stars To Be Drafted, Full List Of Eligible Superstars

The WWE Draft is returning on Tuesday and anticipation is at an all time high. Raw and SmackDown will each be getting their own unique rosters, but there are still a lot of questions to be answered.

Luckily WWE has answered quite a few of those questions by revealing the rules for this year’s WWE Draft and they are intriguing. WWE posted the following on WWE.com:

“RAW has the first overall pick. Since SmackDown Live is a two-hour show and RAW is three hours, for every two picks SmackDown Live receives, RAW will receive three picks. Tag Teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team. Six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster.”
