It has been officially revealed that the WWE Draft will take place next week on SmackDown, before Raw get their chance to draft talent the following Monday. The WWE have constantly used this as an opportunity to shake up the rosters on both brands, and that will likely be the same again.
There will be a number of stars trading SmackDown for Raw, and vice-versa, but we could also see a number of talents from NXT make the jump up to the main roster as part of the draft. But, which superstars are most likely to make a move?
WWE News: Velveteen Dream
Velveteen Dream has been a star that has constantly been linked with making a move up to the main roster. However, that move hasn’t materialised, until potentially now. Dream made his way into the WWE through the reality show Tough Enough, but he quickly gained the attention viewers with his Prince-inspired character.
His popularity quickly rose in NXT, and was involved in high-quality matches at NXT TakeOver: WarGames and NXT TakeOver: New Orleans during his first year with the company. He has only recently returned to the company, as he made his grand NXT return back in August. He qualified for the ladder match for the NXT North American Championship, but he ultimately lost the match. However, Dream could finally get the big stage on the main roster.
WWE News: The Undisputed Era
The past couple of years of NXT television have been dominated by one stable- The Undisputed Era. However, all good things must come to an end, and there is a feeling that they may soon be joining the main roster. This looks potentially more likely as Kyle O’Reilly will be competing for the NXT Championship against Finn Balor days before the draft.
The group’s main roster has been teased for years, and fans were given a glimpse of the quality that they can expect to see when Adam Cole beat Daniel Bryan on SmackDown almost 12 months ago. Things are about to get undisputed on the main roster.
WWE News: Tommaso Ciampa
Tommaso Ciampa has achieved everything that there is to achieve in NXT, and that could mean that his time on the yellow brand could be coming to an end when the WWE Draft takes place. During his time in NXT, he has won the NXT Championship on one occasion, and has also held the NXT Tag Team Championships. His feud with Johnny Gargano remains one of the most exciting in recent memory, and there will be high hopes when Ciampa finally arrives on the main roster.
