The WWE rosters are locked in following the draft but Shawn Michaels confirmed that there was one more switch to be made.

The 2024 WWE Draft kicked off on the 26th of April edition of SmackDown with Bianca Belair the number one overall draft pick. There was some contention before the draft began as Roman Reigns withdrew his eligibility to be drafted leaving The Bloodline languishing down the pecking order to be picked.

It has since emerged that Paul Heyman was the one to pull Reigns out of the draft as he sought to protect his Tribal Chief from the ongoing chaos in The Bloodline.

Stephanie McMahon made a surprise appearance on Raw where the rest of the picks were concluded. Some fans bemoaned the fact that the draft didn’t lead to as many changes as they’d have liked while The Undertaker named the one thing he felt was missing from the draft.
