# WWE Draft Rules

– Over 70 Superstars, as well as tag teams, are eligible for selection in this year’s WWE Draft
– SmackDown will draft 30 Superstars, and Raw will select another 41 Superstars
– Since SmackDown is a two-hour show and Raw is a three-hour show, for every two picks SmackDown makes, Raw will receive three

– Any undrafted Superstars will immediately be declared free agents and able to sign with the brand of their choosing
