One major WWE titleholder has officially changed brands just over a week before the draft.

Fans will soon witness some Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, and even WWE NXT superstars make the transition to a new show. NXT stars such as Ilja Dragunov have declared eligibility for the main roster. The WWE Draft 2024 will begin on the April 26th episode of SmackDown, and will continue on the April 29th edition of Raw.

While there will be plenty of movement on the two draft nights, one key on-air talent has already made an official move to a new show.

During the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw on April 15th, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes revealed that he's technically a member of the Friday Night SmackDown roster now. Hovering over to Cody's superstar page on WWE.com, you will see that the move has been locked in.

It's important to note that this doesn't mean "The American Nightmare" can't be drafted back to Raw. One also can't rule out the possibility of newly-minted World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest being drafted to the blue brand as well.

It'll be interesting to see what direction WWE will go in with the upcoming draft and which champions will be moved.
