Fans might have to wait a little longer for the WWE Draft.
Andrew Zarian of the Mat Man Pro Wrestling Podcast and the Wrestling Observer reports that the WWE Draft has been delayed by a month. Previous reports stated that it would be held on August 31 and September 3. Now, if Zarian’s report about the delay is true, the new dates for the two-night event could be October 1st and October 4th or October 4th and October 8.
So hearing some changes.
Previous had reported the draft would take place 8/31 & 9/3. Hearing it’s getting delayed by a month.
I was just told a 10/4 date but not sure if that’s night one or two
So the possible dates now are:

Zarian has previously reported that WWE has big plans for the draft this year in order to shake up the rosters. WWE has drawn some critcism for having stale rosters throughout the pandemic, so the company might use the draft in an attempt to correct this issue,
WrestleZone will provide more details as they become available.
