WWE Raw Draft: Here are the rules

  • Becky Lynch, who is a Raw superstar, will go up against SmackDown’s Sasha Banks. If the Raw women’s champion wins the match, Raw will get the choice to pick the first wrestler from SmackDown’s Roster. SmackDown will be given the same advantage if Banks win the match.

  • Only 40 Superstars (including Tag Teams) left after the first drafting session

  • Tag teams were counted as one in past WWE Drafts, and it’s still the same rule this year, but if FOX or USA Network decide to pick one Superstar from the team, that may happen.

  • Superstars who would not be drafted will immediately be declared as free agents and they would have a choice to go to either Raw or SmackDown.

  • Since SmackDown is a two-hour long show and Raw is a three-hour-long show, Raw will receive three picks for every two SmackDown gets. This way SmackDown will have 30 superstars in its team and almost 40 will be joining the Red band show.
