Plans Keep Changing For Next WWE Draft

Added 2020-08-01 16:00:14 +0000 UTC

Fightful has learned that a planned WWE Draft has changed several times.

In June, Fightful learned of plans for WWE to attempt to run live shows with limited fans in attendance in July, which were later scrapped. However, other plans have been repeatedly scrapped as well, including a WWE draft.

Fightful learned that a draft was originally set for the end of August, before being moved to September. After it was set for September, it was moved to October, then back and forth again. The original source that we heard the story from in June had noted WWE had informed some broadcast partners of both Draft plans and live event plans, the latter of which was nixed completely.

At this point, we haven't heard what the current plan for a draft is, if it will take place, what brands are involved or what the format is. We've heard that the plans have changed numerous times, however.

We're told there are no current plans to end the brand split

UPDATE: Within moments of this post, we were informed that the current plan was for the draft to take place in October. But "PLANS CHANGE, PAL"
