The October 1st, 2021 episode of WWE SmackDown marked the start of the WWE Draft 2021. The WWE Draft is an event where all wrestlers get a chance to switch their brands.
RAW superstars can go to Smackdown while SmackDown stars get an opportunity to get drafted to WWE's red brand. This year's draft also includes NXT Superstars.
WWE Draft 2021 will take place in two halves. The first half was completed on SmackDown, which had a total of four rounds. The draft will continue next Monday on RAW, where the remaining half of the roster will get a chance to switch brands.
On October 4th, we will see at least four more rounds, making the total rounds of WWE Draft 2021 to eight. As RAW is a three-hour-long show, there may be more than four rounds on the show. The total number of rounds in the 2021 Draft hasn't been officially declared by WWE.
