How does the WWE Draft work?

The draft will consist of "Raw" and "SmackDown" each making selections for who they want on their rosters, similar to professional sports leagues. Whichever brand a star is drafted by is the show that star will exclusively appear on for the remainder of the year.

Each brand will make alternating picks. Those currently on the main roster but not selected in the draft will be declared free agents, meaning they can appear on either show.
