Predicting Where EVERY WWE Superstar Will End Up In The April 2023 Draft
In which WWE will shift roster alignments days before a Premium Live Event, again!
It's a list trying to pinpoint the future home of every WWE Superstar, so some criteria are needed:-
- Only current Raw and SmackDown talent can be drafted in either direction. NXT roster members' eligibility is outgoing only, as has been the case for every Draft involving NXT, so if you're wondering why certain objectless main roster names - the Akira Tozawas and Mustafa Alis of the world - aren't listed for NXT's taking, that's why. For NXT's inclusion, let's safely speculate that at least five NXT talents have been selected.
- The below listings have been selected from a combination of Wikipedia and WWE.com's roster page.
- Tag teams will largely be drafted together, though some tandems have been made exempt from this; The Street Profits, Damage CTRL, and Alpha Academy are most likely to break up in the Draft, so their respective members have been listed individually.
- Injured wrestlers are here; part-timers are not, to a certain extent. Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar appear on a more regular basis than John Cena, so they make the cut. Let's assume Cena can go wherever he wants when he next appears.
And on the subject of the injured...
81. AJ Styles - SmackDown
AJ Styles is no more a star on Monday Night Raw than Dolph Ziggler is and has achieved little of note since moving to the red brand in 2019; a return to Friday nights is necessary.
