The WWE Draft 2021 concluded following last night's episode of Raw, with WWE finishing what it started on last week's SmackDown by completing its annual roster reshuffle ahead of its new season of programming.

As is often the case, a number of wrestlers remain free agents - including several active performers.

Brock Lesnar confirmed himself as an undraftable entity on last week's SmackDown. Former Women's Champions Asuka and Bayley joined him as free agents last night, though both are currently sidelined due to injuries, which likely explains why they went unselected.

Lacey Evans, who is pregnant, was left without a home brand, along with Eva Marie, who has been active as part of several onscreen storylines lately. Completing the pool or free agents are Elias and Shane Thorne, both of whom are seemingly in the midst of being repackaged, wantaway Lucha House Party members Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik, and Titus O'Neil, who hasn't been a full-time television performer since 2019.

It's likely that the injured and inactive wrestlers will remain free agents until they are able to return to television.

Other notable names to not be drafted to Raw and SmackDown include The Undertaker, John Cena, and Shane McMahon.
