Powell’s POV: NXT wrestlers are eligible to be drafted on both nights. As previously announced, the champions will remain on their respective brands. The exception are WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Asuka and Kairi Sane, who will be assigned to the brand they are drafted to once they lose their titles. Smackdown will have four rounds featuring both brands drafting twice, so a total of 16 picks will be made on night one. Raw will have six rounds of both brands drafting twice for a total of 24 picks being made on night two. Smackdown has the first pick on night one, and Raw has the first pick on night two. The rosters will lock on Monday, May 6 coming out of WWE Backlash France.
