Insight has emerged on who WWE sees as the biggest stars on each brand following the WWE Draft.
The drafted WWE rosters become official on Monday (May 8), following the May 6 Backlash 2023 premium live event.
Ahead of Monday Night Raw, WWE has now updated the online banners for Raw, SmackDown and NXT following the draft.
Each graphic features six wrestlers, indicating the top stars of each brand following the draft.
The Raw graphic features Cody Rhodes, SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins and WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn.
The SmackDown banner predictably has Roman Reigns front and center, alongside Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, US Champion Austin Theory, Solo Sikoa, Charlotte Flair and Kevin Owens.
On the NXT image, NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes, North American Champion Wes Lee, Roxanne Perez, Cora Jade, Bron Breakker and Tiffany Stratton were given the spotlight.
It has been reported that a ‘big time’ return is planned for Monday’s edition of Raw, which you can read more about right here.
This show will be the first following Backlash 2023, which has now been touted as the highest grossing and most viewed Backlash event in WWE history.
