The 2024 WWE Draft is now complete following night two of the event on Raw, and everyone who switched brands, or will be staying in the same place, is detailed below.

WrestleMania technically marks the end of the WWE season each year. Pro wrestling's equivalent of the Super Bowl. However, since the WWE train keeps on rolling the very next day, it doesn't really feel like one season has ended and a new one has begun. It's not until the WWE Draft, another concept lifted from the NFL, that when things really start to feel fresh. Superstars switch brands which leads to rivalries forcibly being brought to a close and new ones beginning.

The Rules Of The WWE 2024 Draft

The WWE Draft is split across two nights, starting on SmackDown and then concluding three days later on Raw. The roster is split into two pools, the first eligible to be drafted on night one, and then the second not eligible until night two. That ensures the draft remains interesting across both nights as if it was open season from the start of night one, logic dictates the best Superstars would be picked on SmackDown and Raw wouldn't be as interesting.

SmackDown picks first on Friday, and Raw picks first on Monday. Each round is made up of four picks - two for each brand - and there are four rounds on SmackDown and six rounds on Raw due to the additional hour of TV to fill on Monday nights. Champions cannot be picked, they must remain on the brands to which their titles belong, except for the Women's Tag Team Champions who can be drafted to either brand. NXT Superstars are also eligible to be selected. All picks made will not be official until May 6, so after Backlash.

There are also additional rounds of picks that take place after the shows that air exclusively on social media.

Now all of the logistics are out of the way, let's get down to the picks and who's gone where, starting with the Superstars who moved to different brands on night one.

Results Of Night One From The WWE Draft

Who Changed Brands?

There was reportedly a fear in NXT that WWE's third brand would be gutted by this draft, and if night two ends up being anything like night one, NXT will have been right to worry. Of the eight Superstars to move to different brands on the first night of the draft, half of them were picked from NXT. A little unfair as NXT can't make draft picks of its own to replenish its depleted roster.

On the bright side for NXT, Bron Breakker, who was selected by Raw in round two, had pretty much left the brand already. Although Carmelo Hayes' departure was somewhat expected - he will now compete on SmackDown moving forward - his absence will be harder to deal with as the former NXT Champion has been competing in big matches on NXT up until very recently. Baron Corbin is back on the main roster, leaving NXT with his tag team partner Breakker, and Kiana James, the most surprising NXT pick, will be on Raw from now on.

As for the four brand changes that didn't involve NXT Superstars, Raw took three wrestlers from SmackDown, and SmackDown took two wrestlers from Raw, so effectively a double trade between them as Raw only got an extra Superstar because it chose to steal a tag team. Sheamus, Alba Fyre, and Isla Dawn are headed to Raw from May 6, while Nia Jax and Andrade will be SmackDown Superstars.

Who Stayed Put?

Not everyone switches brands during the draft, of course. If a GM is happy with their brand, then the majority of the Superstars on it will remain the same. Of the 23 picks made during night one of the draft, 15 kept Superstars exactly where they've been competing for the past year. Raw used an early pick to keep hold of Seth Rollins even though he's on the sidelines, and Jey Uso will continue to wrestle on Raw while The Bloodline is staying on SmackDown, minus Roman Reigns who may not be part of the draft at all.

AJ Styles and The OC are both on SmackDown which potentially spells bad news for LA Knight who was also picked to remain on the blue brand on night one, and Raw's women's division was kept strong as Adam Pearce used picks to retain Liv Morgan, Shayna Baszler, and Zoey Stark. Lots of competition for the newly crowned Becky Lynch who will also remain on Raw since she has the show's Women's Championship.

Results Of Night Two From The WWE Draft

Who Changed Brands?

Night two of the draft is now in the books and every Superstar in WWE now knows what night of the week they'll be working, provided the draft is stuck to more strictly than it has been in prior years under Vince McMahon. There were very few picks that resulted in Superstars actually switching brands during the first few rounds of night two, but once things got into full swing, picks began to result in a lot of brand switching.

Raw were the big winners of night two, at least during the first six rounds of picks. Some savvy selections resulted in the red brand picking up no fewer than nine Superstars from SmackDown via two picks, using them to choose two entire factions - Damage CTRL and The LWO. You'll see below that Legado Del Fantasma will remain on SmackDown, so maybe Rey Mysterio can finally rest easy for a little while, although he's now back on the same brand as his ungrateful son, so maybe not.

Another four Superstars were called up from NXT, including former NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov who will be going to Raw. The red brand also picked up Lyra Valkyria and Dijak, while SmackDown selected Blair Davenport from WWE's Tuesday night show. It would be nice to see NXT get some picks of its own to fill the now-empty spots, but there don't appear to be plans to do that.

Who Stayed Put?

Some of the more significant picks of night two kept Superstars in the brand they called home before this year's draft had begun. Raw's first pick of the night, for example, was Imperium. However, after Ludwig Kaiser's attack last week, that pick did not include Giovanni Vinci. Vinci was selected later in the night and has moved to SmackDown. Good for him as it gets him a fresh start, but I guess that means no feud between him and Kaiser.

WWE had the chance to seriously shake things up by moving The Judgment Day to SmackDown. Since Damian Priest is World Champion, he'd have had to stay put. Also worth noting Rhea Ripley wasn't drafted, neither as a part of Judgment Day nor individually, which may mean she's a free agent whenever she returns from injury. The rest of Judgment Day will remain on Raw, though.

Even though he's also injured, CM Punk was a part of the draft. Selected by Raw, he and Drew McIntyre continued their beef on Monday night and were both picked by Raw, opening the door for them to actually wrestle a match whenever Punk's triceps heals. Now the draft is complete, we can now proceed to dissect it and decide which brand is better off. And remember, the results of the draft will not come into effect until the May 6 edition of Raw.
