WWE Draft Rules
 
  • More than 70 Superstars, including Tag Teams, have been placed into this year’s WWE Draft pool.
  • 30 Superstars will be eligible to be drafted tomorrow night while 41 Superstars will be eligible on Monday Night.
  • Since Friday Night SmackDown is a two-hour show and Monday Night Raw is a three-hour show, for every two SmackDown picks, Raw will get three. 
  • Tag Teams will count as one pick unless FOX or USA Network specifically wants to pick one Superstar from the team.
  • Any undrafted Superstars will immediately be declared free agents and able to sign with the brand of their choosing.
