Reported Backstage Update About When WWE Draft Expected To Take Place

Previously, it was reported that the WWE was planning to hold their next draft shortly after Clash at the Castle premium live event in Cardiff, Wales and also noted that several Raw and SmackDown Superstars reportedly scheduled to appear on the opposite brand following the show. Now, we got update about it.

According to the latest Fightful Select reports, the potential for an impending draft has moved from a "slam dunk" to a "half-court shot with your eyes closed". Sources told them that the Raw talent, who were previously booked for the SmackDown episode following Clash at the Castle, were "unbooked" for the show. More so, if there was to be a draft, a number of "Crossover talent" would not participate.

Fightful Select has been told that plans for the WWE Draft have changed internally.
