WWE Rosters: Full List of Raw and SmackDown Performers

The time has come and gone again for WWE’s annual roster reshuffling. 

The second year of SmackDown’s run on Fox began with another WWE draft that saw wrestlers move between the blue brand and the red brand. The draft gives the company an opportunity to breathe fresh life into its storylines by presenting fans with the possibility for new matchups. 

But the draft is about more than just the destinations of the superstars. The format, based on sports drafts, helps WWE communicate the hierarchy of the roster. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt was selected with the very first pick because he’s one of WWE’s most compelling acts. Shorty G, for example, didn’t even have his name called on Raw or SmackDown, instead of being announced as a SmackDown pick on WWE’s digital platforms. Bianca Belair is clearly someone WWE wants fans to pay attention to because she went in the second round despite mainly appearing on Main Event in the months ahead of the draft. 

Below are the full rosters for both of WWE’s main shows, divided by brand and alphabetized.

    Not everyone signed to a WWE contract was drafted, though. Numerous wrestlers taking time away from the ring due to injury (such as Jinder Mahal), personal reasons (Sonya Deville) or, in the case of Becky Lynch, pregnancy, weren’t assigned to a brand. Others, like Mojo Rawley and the Forgotten Sons, WWE simply doesn’t have a creative purpose for at the moment. Edge and Big Show are part-timers. If and when WWE has a plan for the undrafted performers, they’ll be assigned to a brand.
