WWE reportedly changing plans with the 2021 Draft
It was previously reported that there were plans for the 2021 WWE Draft to take place on the August 30th edition of RAW and September 3rd edition of Smackdown.
Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast provided an update on the Draft plans. According to Zarian, it appears that WWE is going to delay the Draft for about a month. In recent years, the Draft has taken place in early October.
Here is what Zarian wrote on Twitter…
So hearing some changes.
Previous had reported the draft would take place 8/31 & 9/3. Hearing it’s getting delayed by a month.
I was just told a 10/4 date but not sure if that’s night one or two
So the possible dates now are:
10/1, 10/4 or 10/4,10/8 #wweraw pic.twitter.com/DzL1SVEPm2
