The big week is finally upon us. The face of WWE is set to change once again on Tuesday night when SmackDown goes live on its new night and the WWE Draft returns for the first time since 2011.
On Sunday WWE announced the rules and eligible participants for the Draft. We know that RAW’s 3 hours will afford them 3 picks for every 2 by SmackDown, 6 NXT wrestlers will be called up to the main roster and The Undertaker will not be exclusive to either show (yet Brock Lesnar will).
Tuesday night marks the beginning of yet a new era in WWE – here are some reactions from some of the most sought after picks:
Legit stoked on the upcoming #SmackDownLIVE draft. Not a promotional shill either. Shake the system. See who survives. #number1pick

6 opportunities to escape my empire, 6 chances to try their luck on another stage, or perhaps 1 pick that changes everything #WWEDraft @WWE
