WWE Secretly Cancels Draft Plans Amid NXT Title Changes and Backstage Shake-Up
WWE reportedly scrapped a planned internal draft at the last minute — just as major title changes rocked NXT. While no formal announcement was made, the shake-up behind the scenes suggests WWE is playing its usual game of roster chess — quietly.
According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live, WWE had been considering holding a draft the same weekend it hosted a four-show loop in Tampa — a stone’s throw from the NXT Performance Center in Orlando.
“A month ago, I was told there was a decent chance there’d be a draft this past weekend during those four Tampa shows. It didn’t happen, but they moved a lot of people around,” Alvarez said.
Though the draft didn’t materialize, the changes certainly did:
-
Ricky Saints dropped the North American Championship to Ethan Page.
-
Stephanie Vaquer shockingly lost her Women’s Title to Jacy Jayne after outside interference.
-
Jordynne Grace remained absent, though her recent push hints at an upcoming brand shift.
These events point toward an unofficial reshuffling of the WWE talent pool — with main roster call-ups likely incoming, especially for highly paid NXT stars.
While WWE remains silent about its future draft plans, fans and insiders believe this is part of a larger roster overhaul that’s happening away from the spotlight.
