WWE RELEASES DRAFT RULES: HOW IT IMPACTS NXT & A CLUE ON UNDERTAKER'S STATUS
BY JOSH NASON | @joshnason | JUL 17, 2016 3:22 PM
With WWE's Draft impending on Tuesday, one of the big talking points is how many talents we can expect to see get drafted from NXT. Until Sunday, we figured the entire roster there was eligible, but in a post on WWE.com, we learned that isn't the case.
The following rules were announced:
- The RAW roster has the first overall pick.
- To compensate for the fact RAW is a three hour show and Smackdown is a two hour show, RAW will get three picks for every two Smackdown picks.
- Tag teams will count as one pick unless Shane McMahon/Stephanie McMahon or their GMs specifically indicates they want only one member of the team.
- Six picks will be made off the NXT roster
The company also released the roster of WWE talents eligible to be drafted in alphabetical order:
Male
AJ Styles
Alberto Del Rio
Apollo Crews
Baron Corbin
