Judgment Day Drafted To RAW / Naomi Drafted To SmackDown
Ilja Dragunov From NXT Drafted To RAW
Chelsea Green and Piper Niven Drafted To SmackDown
The Judgment Day and Naomi stay where they are, Ilja Dragunov moving to WWE RAW is a very interesting one, hopefully we will see him take on The Ring General Gunther in the future, their story on NXT was incredible. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven have moved brands, I'm sure Adam Pearce is happy about that.
Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley announced the Fifth Round Picks
The New Day Drafted To RAW / Pretty Deadly Drafted To SmackDown
Lyra Valkyria from NXT Drafted To RAW
Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell Drafted to SmackDown
The New Day and Pretty Deadly stay where they are, Lyra Valkyria has been called up to the main roster, she is now on the same brand as current Champion Becky Lynch, the last time the two met was in NXT for the Women's Championship, which was won by Lyra, another match between them would be cool to see, continuing with the draft results, Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell could be potential challengers for the Women's Tag Titles on SmackDown after the Backlash: France PLE.
General Managers Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis announced the Sixth and Final Round of Picks.
Final Testament Drafted To RAW / DIY Drafted To SmackDown
Bronson Reed Drafted To RAW
Blair Davenport From NXT Drafted To SmackDown
Final Testament and DIY have switched brands, this means that Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, Indi Hartwell and Austin Theory are now all on the same brand, NXT viewers will remember the group called The Way, also, Bronson Reed stays where he is, Blair Davenport was the final televised pick of the 2024 WWE Draft, she is a quality addition to the women's division on SmackDown.
The Draft continued on WWE's X/Twitter account, check out those results there if you want to.
Before we close this conversation here, it must be said that this year's draft felt very underwhelming. The majority of the picks were predictable in all honesty, can it really be called a draft if people stay on the same brand? I don't think so, the idea of having a draft is nice as it gets us, the fans, talking about who is going to go where, the production of it felt boring, no disrespect, next year's draft should just be a TV special, on ONE night only, including immediate LIVE reactions throughout the program from the wrestlers that were picked, for example, how the stars from NXT reacted to their call ups, followed by the rest of the draft results on social media, to make the concept feel special again.
