Join Franchize and King 2Cold as they dissect this year's WWE draft, which marked the first draft of the "Paul Levesque" era since taking over full creative control from Vince McMahon. Despite promises of a significant role for the NXT brand in the draft, the results left many fans underwhelmed, with minimal shake-up and little NXT inclusion. The WWE draft is a highly anticipated event that typically brings about significant changes to the rosters of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. However, this year's draft seemed to fall short of expectations, especially for the NXT brand. While several NXT talents were called up to the main roster, NXT itself did not receive any draft picks, leading to confusion and disappointment among fans. Some of the notable NXT talents called up to the main roster include Lyra Valkyria, Blair Davenport, Kiana James, Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, and Ilja Dragunov. While these call-ups represent exciting opportunities for the talents involved, the lack of reciprocity for NXT in the draft left many questioning the promotion's role in the draft process.
