WWE Draft 2020: Rules
Draft 2020 is a two-night process, and over 60 superstars will be marked with a blue or a red color. The rules are defined, and here’s what the promotion came with with:
- Due to the length of each show, for every two picks SmackDown gets, Raw receives three (as SmackDown is two hours and Raw is three).
- Tag teams and stables will count as one pick unless FOX or USA, in conjunction with WWE, wants to specifically pick one wrestler from the group.
- Any undrafted wrestlers will immediately be declared free agents and are able to sign with the brand of their choosing.
