The WWE Draft is still in the cards for 2025but figuring out when itll happen is a whole different challenge. According to WrestleVotes Radio, the annual brand shake-up is expected to take place at some point this year, though no exact date has been nailed down.
Plans for the draft? Yeah, I do believe so, one source said on the show. TC, I dont think youve heard a date. I havent heard a date.
The problem? WWEs calendar is already overflowing with back-to-back premium live events and major shows. The calendar gets a little tricky here, WrestleVotes explained. Youre going to get Backlash next week [May 10th]. Youre going to get Saturday Nights Main Event two weeks after that, youre going to get Money in the Bank two weeks after that three weeks after that, you get the Saudi Arabia show. Then, a week after that, you get the rumored Evolution show. And then you calm down a bit before SummerSlam.
That lineup leaves WWE with very few open weeks to squeeze in the Draft, especially since its traditionally a multi-night event split across both Raw and SmackDown. With so much happening from early May through July, WWEs creative team may have to get creative just to fit it in.
Still, despite the scheduling nightmare, the expectation remains that the Draft will happeneventually. So theres a lot going on. I dont know exactly when and where they can pencil this Draft in, but I would expect one to happen, WrestleVotes added.
The annual Draft is always a major reset point for WWE storylines, with Superstars being moved between brands and new rivalries taking shape. But with so much already on the schedule, fans may have to wait longer than usual to see it go down.
Do you think WWE should delay the Draft until after SummerSlam, or squeeze it in during this chaotic stretch? Drop your take in the comments.
