WWE is shaking up its rosters without holding a draft. It was announced during Friday’s Smackdown that the “transfer window” is open for roster moves between Raw, Smackdown, and NXT. Michael Cole stated that the window is open due to Raw moving to Netflix on January 6. Cole added that the general managers are all working together to move some superstars to other shows.
Powell’s POV: It’s unclear how many wrestlers will be moved via this roster shakeup or how long the storyline window is open. I will pass along more details if additional information is released during Smackdown.
What difference will it make? They will just ignore the roster rules the next time they want to.
This might be a way of moving towards more “flexible” rosters and fewer rules, which would be a welcome change from the Draft nonsense.
