WWE is mixing up their rosters with another Draft, and now it's the red brand's turn to host the festivities. Fans should brace for surprises, as this year promises to be no exception.
The 2024 WWE Draft is scheduled for Friday, April 26 during SmackDown and Monday, April 29 during RAW. We already saw SmackDown's draft go down last week, and those results can be found here.
We saw Kiana James and Carmelo Hayes get called up from NXT during SmackDown. Still, a concern exists that WWE may pick their developmental brand clean after this year's draft. Ilja Dragunov's name hasn't been called, so we'll have to see who ends up on which brand this time around.

2024 WWE Draft Rules:
The 2024 WWE Draft will distribute 16 picks across four rounds to SmackDown and 24 picks across six rounds to RAW, based on RAW's longer airtime. Champions are not included in the draft, except for the Women's Tag Team Champions who are not part of the Draft Pool.
SmackDown will make its first selection on Friday, and RAW will make its first pick the following Monday. The final rosters will be confirmed by May 6th.
Following new television contracts, SmackDown will move to the USA Network and RAW to Netflix. The impact of RAW's transition to Netflix will become apparent from October 2025. These rosters will start the new media rights agreements unless there is a change in the roster.
