The 2019 WWE Draft began on the October 11 episode of SmackDown and concluded on the October 14 episode of RAW. WWE did not have storyline General Managers at the time, so Stephanie McMahon played the GM role by announcing each brand’s draft picks.

One day before the WWE Draft started, an article on WWE’s website listed every Superstar and tag team who could be drafted. Strangely, the eligible Superstars appeared to be listed in order of ability rather than alphabetically.

When Stephanie McMahon announced the first few draft picks, it soon became clear what had happened. WWE’s website accidentally revealed the results of the WWE Draft over 24 hours before the roster changes were confirmed on television.

The website included the following WWE Superstars and teams in the top 10 positions in the Draft Pools list:

  • Becky Lynch
  • Roman Reigns
  • The O.C.
  • Bray Wyatt
  • Drew McIntyre
  • Randy Orton
  • Sasha Banks
  • Ricochet
  • Braun Strowman
  • Bobby Lashley

Sure enough, Stephanie McMahon’s top 10 was exactly the same. The error must have been mentioned backstage because the rest of the WWE Draft positions were slightly altered. WWE also updated its original article by listing the Superstars in alphabetical order.
