WWE Draft 2023: Full list of picks from Night Two along with Free Agents

Bengaluru, May 3: The 2023 WWE Draft continued last night on WWE Raw from the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas which also was the go-home episode for the 2023 Backlash premium live event set for this weekend.

Rhea Ripley appeared to be the first overall pick for the Night Two of Draft as the reigning Smackdown Women's Champion was selected by Raw. The move was expected after Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair was picked by Smackdown on Draft Night One.

In another major swap of two champions, United States Champion Austin Theory was sent to Smackdown during Night Two as the reigning Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER was picked by Raw, last Friday night.

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were picked by Raw alongside WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, meaning all four tag champs will be featured on the red brand.

The former tag champs, The Usos have been moved to SmackDown along with the rest of The Bloodline faction - Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and Paul Heyman. Usos' longtime rivals Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were sent to Raw.

Interestingly, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus was a part of Draft 2023 as she was picked in Round Four of the process as an overall 13th pick by the red brand. Currently, she is in the middle of a feud with fellow Raw roster member Becky Lynch.

Also, it was announced by WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H that Brock Lesnar renegotiated his contract with WWE earlier in the day, and he will be a Free Agent, meaning he can appear on both Raw and Smackdown following Backlash.

Six more NXT superstars also headed to the main roster after Night Two of Draft namely Pretty Deadly - Kit Wilson & Elton Prince, and Cameron Grimes on Smackdown, and former NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Kayden Carter & Katana Chance and Odyssey Jones on Raw.
