The draft will determine the Superstars that compete for Raw and SmackDown, which feature distinct casts, unique storylines and dedicated writing teams.<\/p>\n<p>Friday Night SmackDown on October 11 will emanate from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas while Monday Night Raw on October 14 will take place at the Pepsi Center in Denver.<\/p>\n<p>Raw and SmackDown are the #1 and #2 longest-running weekly episodic television shows in U.S. primetime history. The programs have aired more original episodes than The Simpsons, Gunsmoke, Lassie and Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n<p>Raw will continue airing on USA Network while SmackDown moves to FOX beginning Friday, October 4.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Word of the draft has been out for at least a couple weeks, but it&#8217;s always good to have official confirmation. It&#8217;s interesting that NXT is not listed anywhere in the press release. It&#8217;s also interesting that WWE is emphasizing that Raw and Smackdown will have &#8220;distinct casts, unique storylines and dedicated writing teams.&#8221; Of course, the real question is whether they will actually adhere to their own draft rules this year or if this will all be forgotten a few weeks later similar to the WWE Superstar Shakeup.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-468876044\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":57,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[2169,37,101,993,3028,370,31],"class_list":["post-61656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-fox","tag-nxt","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-draft","tag-wwe-on-fox","tag-wwe-raw","tag-wwe-smackdown"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
