Did NXT Superstars Spoil WWE Draft Outcome This Past Weekend?
Has WWE given away the identities of some major NXT draft picks?
The big day is finally here. As SmackDown finally makes the move to live Tuesday night TV, the WWE draft will be held as RAW and SmackDown become separate entities once again. The rules of the draft have been announced, and whilst it may not be the full-sale (get it?) hijacking of the NXT roster that was expected, the developmental brand will still lose six performers tonight.
There has been a lot of speculation as to who those six will be, but WWE and NXT themselves may very well have posted a video giving away four of the picks. The video, on WWE's YouTube account, comes from an NXT live event in Kentucky this past weekend, a show headlined by a huge 10-person tag team match.
Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bayley and American Alpha joined forces to defeat Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Alexa Bliss and The Revival, but it was the post-match antics that seem to hint at big moves ahead. Finn took to the mic and asked if someone had left a door open as he could feel a 'draft' coming through, before the five held something approaching a curtain call that ended with everyone hitting a Nakamura pose to the delight of the crowd.
Balor and American Alpha have long been rumoured to be two NXT picks for tonight's draft, but could Bayley and Nakamura be on their way to the main roster too? We don't have long to wait to find out.
