Full Raw & SmackDown Rosters Following WWE Draft

Triple H WWE Draft 2023

The 2023 WWE Draft took place over two nights on SmackDown and Raw as the company reshuffled its pack.

Every main roster star was eligible for the draft alongside some selected NXT talent but in the end, it is the developmental brand that may have lost out the most with both the NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell and NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre joining the main roster.

SmackDown gained the overall number one pick on Friday night and it was no surprise when they drafted the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Solo Sikoa. Raw’s first pick went to Cody Rhodes who will surely be in the running for the newly introduced WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

It was all change for the main roster’s women’s division as SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley and Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair were traded to the opposite show, meaning another post-brand title switch could be in their future.
