The 2023 WWE Draft is a yearly program that allows the WWE to refresh its roster on both brands. WWE has finally announced when the Draft program 2023 will take place. Two weeks ago on SmackDown, Triple H guaranteed that this year’s Draft would “change the game.”
That said, the next chapter in the book is to determine which superstar fits on what show. Judging by the way things are going, SmackDown could use more female talents.
On the other hand, there is a dearth of babyfaces on the flagship show, Raw. Certain superstars have been making appearances on both shows even though they are signed to a particular brand. WWE is looking to balance things out soon.
2023 WWE Draft may take place next week
WWE announced that this year’s Draft will be a two-night affair, like WrestleMania. The program is set to commence on SmackDown on the 28th of April and will continue the following week on Raw on May 1st. SmackDown will emanate from Corpus Christi, Texas, whereas Monday Night Raw will occur in Fort Worth, Texas.
Triple H undeniably has the vision to change the trajectory of the WWE for the better. He also announced that this year, every superstar in WWE including talents from the developmental territory will be eligible for the Draft.
Ever since Triple H came to power, he has been a catalyst of change. The Game is now looking to restore meaning to both brands of WWE. For far too long, WWE superstars have been making appearances randomly on both shows.
Back in the day, the Survivor Series traditional 5-man elimination match made more sense as superstars represented their true brand. It remains to be seen when the promotion officially announces the Draft.
WWE did not have an annual Draft in 2022
Although The Draft is a typical-yearly program, it was not held in 2022 due to internal reasons. This has led to a mix-up of superstars on both brands. It was also reported last year that the WWE Draft would take place after WrestleMania 39.
The last time the WWE roster was significantly refreshed was in 2021. It was also when two major talents, Roman Reigns, and Drew McIntyre were Drafted to SmackDown.
