The 2024 WWE Draft could reportedly be monumental for "NXT," as WWE has considered giving the developmental show a renewed focus in order to make it feel more like a third main roster brand. However, there is some trepidation amongst those at the WWE Performance Center, where there is reportedly a "draft party" being held for the fans.

According to Fightful Select's Corey Brennan, several talent and other sources within "NXT" are worried that the brand will be heavily raided via this year's draft. "NXT" names have been intentionally hidden from the draft pools to create a sense of surprise, but the fact that many of the talent don't know if they will be called up has led to people within the company being worried that they are getting called up without a plan, similar to the ill-fated Vince McMahon drafts of the past.

One of the ways WWE is planning on putting a renewed focus on "NXT" is by having the ability of sending wrestlers from "Raw" and "Smackdown" to "NXT." The idea of people being "called up to the main roster" has led to some reservations about how some people may see the move to Tuesday nights as a demotion, but most people within WWE reportedly believe that some performers would actually benefit from a run in "NXT," and are expecting some major star power to be added to the brand ahead of its move to The CW later this year.
