The WWE Draft begins tonight, and all week we were left wondering what the official ruling of the draft would be heading into the show.
WWE has now shared the rules for the 2021 WWE Draft in the form of a video hosted by Megan Morant. Per WWE, half of the roster will be available to be drafted tonight, with the other half being available to be drafted on Monday’s (October 4) episode of Raw.
WWE mentioned NXT in the ruling, but it was not specified how many picks would be made from the brand, or which NXT stars would be in the pool.
Finally, it was revealed that the changes created by the Draft will not take effect until October 22, the night after the WWE Crown Jewel event.
