The 2024 Draft is officially over
The 2024 WWE Draft is officially over and the superstar shakeup was filled with a number of retainments, switching brands, NXT call-ups, returns and much more. WWE hosted the Superstar Shakeup for two nights starting from the April 26, 2024 episode of SmackDown and on the April 29, 2024 episode of Raw.
A total of 40 drafts were done on the Television and 16 wrestlers were drafted after the shows from the eligible draft pools of both the nights.
However a number of stars who are currently under WWE contract, but didn’t get featured in WWE Draft pools. The Unassigned wrestlers are called Free Agents, who can step in on either show unless they got assigned to a particular brand.
The Free Agent concept was not often used during Vince McMahon’s reign. But, this has changed during the Triple-H reign. Here we take a look at all the Free Agents after the WWE Draft 2024.
