This year's WWE Draft was nothing shy of amazing, but we did have quite a few call ups this year from the NXT Roster, lets go over and see who got the call to the Main Roster!

Carmelo Hayes

Carmelo Hayes was the first selection from the NXT Brand to be brought up to the main roster. Seeing the decorated career this man has had, it's no surprise he was selected in the first round, which is also a first for the NXT Brand! Carmelo Hayes is a former NXT North American Champion, NXT Champion, As well as the first winner of the NXT Men's Breakout Tournament. His first night on the blue brand, he called out Cody Rhodes for a match which honestly was quite fun to watch. Very excited to see the work he does on the main roster.

Kiana James

Kiana James was the next selection from the NXT Brand heading on over to Monday Night Raw! Kiana James has had quite the career in NXT, though she has not won any major titles on the brand, it is clear she will have a very good career ahead of her on the main roster.

Baron Corbin

After Smackdown went off air, more draft picks were announced on socials and one of the draft picks announced was the lone wolf of NXT, Baron Corbin. The former NXT Tag Team Champion will now be heading to the blue brand where he hopes to give it all another go, unfortunately, his former tag team partner Bron Breakker, was drafted to RAW, which meant the end of the wolf dogs....for now.

Ilja Dragunov

Oh my....RAW has a Dragon on their hands and his name is Ilja Dragunov. For those that don't follow NXT, Dragunov is a former NXT Champion up until very recently, when he lost the title to Trick Williams last week at Spring Breakin. We expect big things from this man, especially with him being on the same brand as the Ring General Gunther.

Lyra Valkyria

Lyra Valkyria was the next selection from the NXT Brand to go to RAW. The former NXT Women's Champion has had an amazing career thus far in NXT. She held the women's title up until this year's Stand & Deliver PPV where she dropped the title to Roxanne. Shall we possibly see a rematch from the match that initially gave her the NXT Women's title except now for the women's WORLD title in the man Becky Lynch?

Blair Davenport

In the final round of the 2024 draft, we saw Blair Davenport get drafted to the Smackdown Women's Roster. Though she has yet to hold any gold in WWE, Davenport has come quite close to holding gold in the past and its only a matter of time before we see her take over the blue brand.

Dijak

After RAW Went off the air, in a digital exclusive Jackie announced the final pick of the 2024 WWE Draft, and it was none other then Dijak. Dijak said he is ready to make his way back to the Red Brand, not as T-Bar, but as Dijak. Everyone best be ready to FEAST YOUR EYES!
