WWE Draft 2024: Full list of night one picks, post-show selections

The 2024 WWE Draft begins with four rounds taking place on tonight’s SmackDown from Cincinnati, Ohio.

There will be 16 picks made on tonight’s show (eight for SmackDown and eight for Raw). Tonight, SmackDown has the first overall selection. Raw will then pick first when the draft concludes on Monday.

As was announced this week, WWE’s champions are not eligible to be drafted. They will remain on their current brand. The only champions who can be selected are WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Asuka & Kairi Sane, who will appear on both brands until they lose their titles.

The roster is divided into two draft pools with different wrestlers eligible to be selected each night. Wrestlers from NXT are also eligible to be selected.
