The WWE Universe is super excited about the upcoming 2023 draft, which was announced by Triple H on this past Friday's edition of SmackDown.
WWE first introduced the draft back in 2002 as a way to balance its stacked roster and give fans a chance to choose brand supremacy. The last one took place 1.5 years ago, but a few talents from RAW and SmackDown have crossed over and confused certain viewers. However, this year's draft hopes to reset that issue and keep talents on their specific show.
So when NoDQ.com tweeted asking fans where they would like to see stars end up after this year's draft, the wrestling world stormed online to plead their cases about why certain names should be on certain brands.

Some reactions include former two-time world champion Bobby Lashley going to SmackDown and former two-time NXT Champion Karrion Kross going to RAW.
A few fans are also interested in having Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER and his group Imperium on the red brand and sending Austin Theory to SmackDown. This would essentially flip the company's two mid-card titles.
WWE is currently in an "unofficial hiring freeze" following Vince McMahon's return
Under Triple H, WWE has brought back many talents previously released under the former regime. However, due to a reported hiring freeze, the company recently passed on several free agents/big names that they had previously expressed interest in.
The freeze reportedly occurred due to Vince McMahon's return and the company's recent merger with Endeavor.
Some of these names include former NWA world champion Nick Aldis, current IWGP NEVER Openweight Champion Tama Tona, and current AEW star/ROH Six-Man tag champion Brian Cage, to name a few.
Vince McMahon and Triple H may not be bringing any talents back, but there is a good chance that they might trim some that they are currently not using. That remains to be seen.
What other free agents would you like to see them go after? Sound off in the comments below.
