WWE Draft 2023 will be the first-ever draft to be held under Triple H's creative direction. With each superstar eligible, the proclaimed 'biggest ever' roster shakeup will commence on the April 28 episode of SmackDown and conclude on the May 1 episode of RAW.

A bunch of NXT talent is rumored to join the main roster soon. Fans also hope top stars will shift brands and spark new rivalries on both flagship shows ahead of summer. The new World Heavyweight Championship will keep most of them busy, while Roman Reigns' opponent for Night of Champions is yet to be decided.

WWE's official website recently revealed the pool of superstars eligible for the draft this Friday. Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Edge are some biggest stars there.

Below is the full list for Night One of the WWE Draft 2023.
