WWE’s draft will be taking place tonight on the first-ever live SmackDown, and we’ll be seeing what Superstars will end up on Monday Night RAW and who will be on SmackDown. As for what we do know, Stephanie McMahon will be the commissioner of RAW with Mick Foley serving as her general manager. On the SmackDown side, Shane McMahon will be commissioner with Daniel Bryan as his general manager.
We also know the rules for the draft, which are as follows:
RAW has the first overall pick
Since SmackDown Live is a two-hour show and RAW is three hours, for every two picks SmackDown Live receives, RAW will receive three picks
Tag teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team
Six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster
