BodySlam+ reports that sources close to the situation indicate there is currently no tentative date set for the 2026 WWE Draft. The company has also held multiple internal discussions about the 2025 Draft, with its Pay-Per-View partner in the U.S., ESPN, expressing interest in hosting it. However, those discussions did not lead to any concrete plans.
WWE last reshuffled its RAW and SmackDown rosters in the summer of 2024. Fans anticipated a similar shakeup in 2025, but nothing materialized as the company focused on minor adjustments throughout the year. Instead, they brought in talents from NXT to both brands. In recent months, Jordynne Grace, Lash Legend, Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, and two-time NXT Champion Oba Femi have made the transition from NXT to the main roster.
The WWE Draft has traditionally been a way for the company to refresh its rosters and enhance the weekly product. However, it seems WWE is currently concentrating on smaller, story-related changes to the rosters, in addition to introducing NXT talents. That said, professional wrestling is unpredictable, so there is still a possibility that the annual Draft could return in the summer.
