WWE 2023 Draft picks for night two

The second night of the WWE Draft saw 22 Superstars moving to Raw and 21 Superstars moving to Smackdown.

As expected, Smackdown Women’s champion Rhea Ripley moved to the red brand and so did the Undisputed Tag Team champions of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The WWE Women’s Tag Team champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez also switched to Raw. The United States champion Austin Theory moved to Smackdown since on Friday the Intercontinental title moved to Raw with Gunther.

Those who moved or are staying on Raw are Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and Damian Priest, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, Trish Stratus, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, Braun Strowman and Ricochet, Bronson Reed, Otis and Chad Gable, and NXT’s Katana Chance and Kayden Carter.

Representing Smackdown from next week will be Austin Theory, Charlotte Flair, Jimmy and Jey Uso, Rey Mysterio, Zelina Vega, Santos Escobar, Cruz Del Toro, and Joaquin Wilde, Asuka, Sheamus, Butch, and Ridge Holland, Karrion Kross and Scarlett, LA Knight, Shotzi, Rick Boogs, and NXT’s Elton Prince, Kit Wilson and Cameron Grimes.

Brock Lesnar, who was listed as being eligible to be drafted, was announced as a free agent as he had that “negotiated” in his contract so he can appear on both shows.

This round of the draft on Raw saw five NXT talents moving up.
