Bengaluru, April 9: WWE Draft is always considered to be an exciting event for the fans. It was withdrawn from WWE at a time when there was no separate existence of the Smackdown brand. But, with the growing demand by the fans and to boost TV ratings, the brand split was evident.
Hence, in 2016, Raw and Smackdown went back to their original format. Furthermore, a brand extension draft happened for the first time in nearly five years. The tradition was retained, last year, too under a different name which was called WWE Superstar Shakeup. Apparently, the same would return on WWE TV, this year, too.
The concept of the WWE Draft is pretty exciting which acts in kayfabe manner. Numerous superstars from the Raw brand move to the Smackdown brand and vice versa. In reality, this shakes up the roster with new names and it allows building new rivalries on both the brands.
Recently, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter gave an update on the 2018 edition of the WWE Draft. According to the veteran journalist, it would come back just after the Wrestlemania PPV. Considering the previous updates, it will return much earlier than expected.
