WWE Draft 2024 is the upcoming 18th Draft hosted by WWE, in order to refresh the rosters in the Raw and SmackDown brand.
The Superstar Shakeup will kick start this Friday (April 26, 2024) on SmackDown and will continue next week on the April 29, 2024 episode of Raw. As we are getting ready for this year’s Draft, here we predict the first five picks of the 2024 WWE draft.
1. Cody Rhodes (RAW)
Cody Rhodes could be the first one to be picked up in the WWE Draft and would most probably move to Raw. Cody will take the Undisputed WWE Championship to the red brand. Considering the show moving to Netflix in 2025, the chances of grabbing the biggest babyface to Raw are high.
2. The Judgment Day (SmackDown)
If the Undisputed WWE Champion is moving to Raw, then the World Heavyweight Champion will definitely move to SmackDown. Damian Priest along with the entire Judgment Day could be drafted to SmackDown. This move could be a refreshing start to the heel faction and the World Champion.

3. The Bloodline (Raw)
The Bloodline could move to Raw. There have been a number of storyline problems with The Bloodline and SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis. Paul Heyman could use his master mind to get drafted to Raw. If that’s the case the entire Bloodline including Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns, The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga could move as a unit.
They have made SmackDown their home for almost 4 years and never had any newer storylines. Moving to Raw might be a great move for both The Bloodline and for the Red brand.
4. Sami Zayn (SmackDown)
Sami Zayn could move to SmackDown with the Intercontinental Championship. Sami Zayn has just started his reign with the IC title and has already defended the title once. It could be a great move to get drafted to SmackDown, as he could boost the mid-card roster by defending the title more frequently.
5. Gunther (RAW)
Gunther could be staying on Raw being a hunter. Although Gunther has been in both rosters, his run on Raw has been incredible. The Ring General could make interesting matches and rivalries on the red brand, without the title. There could be a number of potential rivalries for Gunther on Raw, especially in making him the World Champion in the near future.
