The 2024 WWE Draft will start next Friday on SmackDown, and it will continue until Raw on April 29. The WWE Draft this time will involve all three brands in WWE, which includes NXT. The WWE Draft is an opportunity to set the reset button in the WWE for an entire year. This will also be the first full WWE draft, which will be under the booking of Triple H. He will look to make some big moves to show that he means business.
Let’s look at the top 5 predictions for the WWE Draft 2024
Cody Rhodes to SmackDown
This will be the biggest shift that will happen at the WWE draft. Cody Rhodes is the Undisputed WWE champion, and therefore he will be the top guy on SmackDown. Cody Rhodes will be drafted from Raw to SmackDown. This will be a big shift, and it will show that Triple H can make big moves happen. This will give fresh feuds for Cody Rhodes to last a whole year. This will most likely happen in the first round of the WWE Draft.
Bianca Belair to Raw
WWE Raw needs to bolster their women’s division after the injury to Rhea Ripley for the next few months. Becky Lynch will also take some time off, and therefore there is a high chance that Bianca Belair will be drafted to Raw because Raw will be on Netflix in January 2025 and they would want the top stars on their show. Bianca Belair to Raw will be an unexpected move and one that could disrupt the SmackDown women’s division.
Gunther to SmackDown
Gunther has done everything he can on Raw, and he has lost the Intercontinental Championship. He should be drafted to SmackDown so that he can get a fresh start. Gunther is a top-level talent, and he could use some fresh scenery and get some dream matches. Gunther will be a huge shift in the WWE Draft. The rest of Imperium can also go with him to SmackDown. There are titles that he would like to win on the show.
LA Knight to Raw
LA Knight is a WWE superstar who needs a change of brands, as he has always been on SmackDown. This will be a big move in the WWE Draft. LA Knight will get a lot of fresh matchups on Raw, and Netflix would love to have the YEAH movement on Raw. He has done everything on SmackDown, and it is time he won a championship in WWE. He will be a big addition to the red brand.
Lyra Valkyria to Raw
There will be more NXT involvement in the WWE Draft this year, as has been seen in the official logo. NXT has a lot of superstars who are on the main roster ready, and one of them is Lyra Valkyria from NXT. The main roster crowds know her very well, and she will fit in very well on Raw, which needs good female wrestlers. Lyra Valkyria should be pushed like a big star, and she will learn from the experience of the seniors.
