10 Problems WWE Must Solve In The 2023 Draft
5. Are Legends Free Agents?
Some stars have been exempt from inclusion in the Draft over the years. Steve Austin was the first back in 2002, then WWE went on to make that a storyline battle for his signature between Ric Flair and Vince McMahon. Others, like Brock Lesnar, have also been excluded before.
What about this year? Is Trish Stratus, for example, going to be part of the thing? Or, will she instantly be left off the Draft sheets because she isn't a full-timer and is clearly only sticking around for this feud vs. Becky Lynch that'll peak come SummerSlam? That's a question only WWE can answer.
They should answer it ASAP.
Say Becky goes to SmackDown, will Trish follow? Apologies for all the question marks, but this really is important. It'd be hellish and random if legendary characters like Stratus, Lita and more were just allowed to swan around the place doing whatever they wanted without any explanation or context.
