After the culmination of an exciting WrestleMania season, WWE looks to build up the next season with the 2024 Draft. The first leg of the WWE Draft will take place on the April 26, 2024, episode of SmackDown, and the second and final leg will take place on the April 29, 2024, episode of Raw. 

WWE has announced the list of eligible superstars for both nights of the 2024 Draft and listed the rules by which the superstars will get assigned to their new brands. 

According to the rules, the champions of each brand are not eligible for the Draft and will remain where they are right now. 

However, the Women’s Tag Team Champions will be a part of the Draft and can continue to appear on Raw and SmackDown until they lose the titles. 

SmackDown will feature four rounds, in which the two brands will get to select two picks apiece in each round, which will give them eight picks each. 

Raw will feature six rounds with two picks apiece in each round, with the two brands getting twelve picks each. 

While every superstar is eligible for the Draft, factions and tag teams will get picked together. The list includes Alpha Academy, Cedric Alexander & Ashante Adonis, The Bloodline, The O.C., DIY, Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven, The Creed Brothers, Damage CTRL, Final Testament, Imperium, Judgment Day, Kayden Carter and Katana Chance, Legado del Fantasma, The LWO, New Catch Republic, The New Day, Pretty Deadly, and The Pride. 

NXT Superstars are also eligible for the Draft, but WWE hasn’t revealed the names yet. Main roster superstars are also eligible to get drafted to NXT.

The new roster would go into effect on the Raw after the Backlash France PLE on May 6, 2024.
