Rules For WWE Draft Revealed – Six NXT Stars to Be Called Up

– WWE has announced the rules for Tuesday’s WWE Draft, which will take place during WWE Smackdown’s live USA Network debut. The rules for the Draft include Raw getting an extra pick for every two of Smackdown’s due to its longer weekly runtime, tag teams being split up only if the Commissioner/General Manager wants it and six unnamed NXT talent to be drafted. Also, managers appear to be going wherever their in-ring talent is drafted to, although that is not specifically stated in the rules.

You can see the full ruleset and list of the eligible main roster talent (which includes Brock Lesnar) below:

* Raw has the first overall pick
* Since SmackDown Live is a two-hour show and Raw is three hours, for every two picks SmackDown Live receives, Raw will receive three picks
* Tag teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team
* Six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster
