Backstage News on Potential WWE Draft Following “Transfer Window” Announcement – As noted yesterday at this link, WWE has officially opened a transfer window, allowing superstars from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT to potentially switch brands as the company prepares for RAW’s move to Netflix on January 6. This new development was highlighted during the December 6 episode of WWE SmackDown, where the commentary team of Michael Cole and Corey Graves discussed its significance.
The show featured several notable moments teasing potential trades. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther was shown speaking with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis about a possible move, while Aldis hinted at “something special” for NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes. Additionally, Chad Gable and his American Made faction expressed interest in transitioning to RAW.
In an update, as of a few weeks ago, there were growing expectations that some NXT talent would be promoted to the main roster by late 2024 or early 2025. This aligns with WWE’s strategy to refresh rosters ahead of a pivotal year. Moreover, rumors of a WWE Draft have circulated among talent for over a month, though WWE has yet to confirm such plans officially.
With RAW’s upcoming move to Netflix and a potential draft in early 2025, WWE seems poised for significant roster changes. These developments could create fresh opportunities and rivalries across all brands.
