Major Name Advertised for Possible WWE Draft Date, Which Shows Will Feature Tag Team & Womens Divisions, Backstage Talk on Titles

According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio, the WWE brand split draft is scheduled for the July 11th edition of WWE Raw in Detroit. Alvarez also noted that many talents have no idea what is going on or where they will end up in the Draft. In what might make things even more interesting, Brock Lesnar is being advertised for the July 11th Raw.

Regarding when the brand spilt was decided upon, the decision was reportedly just made within the last few weeks and some people were told about the plans at WWE Extreme Rules on Sunday. As noted, Vince McMahon is very excited about things and many ideas are being bounced around regarding the brand split and Smackdown going live. NXT talents are expected to be called up for the draft and the eventual brand split to help fill the Raw and Smackdown rosters.

With regards to WWE Titles on the shows, there’s been more talk within WWE that each show will have a World Title, with one show featuring the United States Title and the other featuring the Intercontinental Title. Bryan Alvarez noted people in WWE are under the impression that the WWE Women’s division will be exclusive to one show but that has not been confirmed. As of today, the WWE Tag Team Titles will likely be on both shows.
