It appears that WWE still plans to hold its annual Draft sometime this year, but fitting it into the company’s packed event schedule presents a challenge. WrestleVotes reported earlier this month that WWE still has plans to do the Draft this year.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez noted he has heard it could take place later this month. WWE will be in Tampa, Florida, for a Memorial Day weekend takeover, including Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE Battleground, WWE Monday Night Raw, and WWE NXT, all at the Yuengling Center.
“For whatever reason, Giulia and Roxanne are still considered NXT talents. Roxanne has been a regular on the main roster since Royal Rumble; she should be petitioning for main roster back pay. She’s been here so often.
But I was told it’s not set in stone, but very likely at the end of this month, when they’re doing that series of dates in Tampa, it’s very likely there might be a draft on that weekend or that week, which would probably mean that some people are being called up. And by the grace of God, it should be Roxanne and Giulia and, honestly, probably Stephanie [Vaquer] and [Kelani] Jordan, but they can’t call everybody up at once. But there’s a reason that a lot of women were cut in the last couple of weeks, and that is because they are making room on the roster for a lot of other women to get called up.”
