The WWE Draft 2023 concluded on Monday night as Raw and SmackDown filled out their respective rosters.

NXT boss Shawn Michaels has a lot of thinking to do after Pretty Deadly, Grayson Waller and more joined the likes of Rhea Ripley, Austin Theory and Asuka finding new homes after plenty of big moves on Friday Night SmackDown.

One star who is not eligible to be drafted is Brock Lesnar, who apparently renegotiated his contract to ensure he remains a free agent and can appear on any show at any time.

When it comes to the new rosters, they will become official and going into effect after this weekend’s Backlash show in Puerto Rico.

The first round of picks on the show, announced by Triple H, saw SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley and Seth Rollins picked by Raw, while United States Champion Austin Theory and Charlotte Flair are part of the SmackDown roster.

Booker T and Queen Sharmell came out for the second round, with the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn heading to Raw.

They’ll be joined on the red brand by The Judgment Day trio of Damian Priest, Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio, meaning they’ll stay as one with Ripley on the same show.

Jimmy and Jey Uso will remain with the rest of The Bloodline on SmackDown, while the Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, Zelina Vega, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro) are also moving to the blue brand.

Shawn Michaels and Adam Pearce came out to announce the third round of picks, with Asuka and the Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Butch and Ridge Holland) SmackDown-bound, and The New Day and the duo of Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez settling on Raw.

Eric Bischoff and Rob Van Dam were on hand for the fourth batch as Raw landed Trish Stratus and the team of Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey, while both Karrion Kross and LA Knight are staying on SmackDown.

Molly Holly and Road Dogg announced the fifth round, with Bronson Reed drafted to Raw alongside the team of Braun Strowman and Ricochet, while SmackDown has landed Shotzi and NXT’s Pretty Deadly.

JBL and Teddy Long were back again on Monday night, revealing that Rick Boogs and Cameron Grimes are heading to SmackDown, with Raw getting Alpha Academy and NXT’s Katana Chance and Kayden Carter.
