On night one of the 2020 WWE Draft there were some big names changing brands that can change the landscape of Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown. The rules and draft pools were announced earlier in the week to give fans some idea of what to expect on Friday.
Here are the official rules of the 2020 WWE Draft:
Over 60 Male Superstars, Female Superstars and Tag Teams have been placed into the 2020 WWE Draft. More than 20 Superstars are eligible to be drafted on Friday night and more than 30 Superstars are eligible to be drafted on Monday night. Due to the length of each show, for every two picks that SmackDown selects, RAW will get three picks. Tag Teams will count as one pick unless FOX or USA Network, in conjunction with WWE Officials, wants to pick one Superstar from the team. Any undrafted Superstars will immediately be declared free agents and able to sign with the brand of their choosing.
It was also announced in the opening minutes of the October 9 episode of SmackDown that if a champion on either brand is drafted to the opposite show, that title will go with them.
Here are the full results of the 2020 WWE Draft—this will be updated as more information is released.
