Folks, in what’s shaping up to be the political convention of the wrestling world, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE’s very own CCO, has let slip that the WWE Draft is right around the corner, set to shuffle the deck in just a month’s time. Imagine that, just like trying to pick between chocolate and vanilla ice cream – decisions, decisions.
Traditionally, this is the moment WWE stars play musical chairs between “WWE SmackDown,” “WWE Raw,” and maybe even take a detour through “WWE NXT.” For a bit of a history lesson, last year’s Draft kicked off on April 28 and wrapped up on May 1. Before then, it had a cozy spot in October, making it as predictable as Thanksgiving dinner.
This bombshell dropped during Triple H’s chat on “IMPAULSIVE” with Logan Paul, who’s currently juggling his WWE United States Champion title with the finesse of a politician at a town hall. Paul, eager to know if he could pack his bags for “Raw” once it hits Netflix, got a bit of a roundabout answer. Triple H, ever the diplomat, said, “In a month, there’s a thing called the Draft so that’s when you can switch around and make moves.” Basically, “we’ll see” in wrestling speak.
Currently, Paul’s hanging his hat on “SmackDown,” which airs on FOX, but who knows? The Draft might just be his ticket to a brand switch. Before clinching the US Title from Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel 2023, Paul was the wrestling world’s equivalent of an undecided voter, popping up here and there. With WrestleMania Sunday on the horizon, where he’ll defend his title in a triple threat match against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, the question looms: Will he stay or will he go?
So, as Triple H suggests, grab your popcorn. The Draft is coming, and it’s bound to be as unpredictable as a game of bingo at a family reunion.
