It appears WWE is gearing up for a few surprise appearances for this year's draft.

The WWE Draft 2024 will begin on the April 26 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, and will continue on the April 29 edition of Monday Night Raw. The company has already revealed the eligibility pool. In addition to certain red brand and blue brand superstars being swapped, NXT also figures to play a key role.

It appears the 2024 WWE Draft won't be taking place without a few surprises from some familiar faces.
