As the draft begins this week for WWE, I would like to prepare my version of the 2023 WWE Draft. There is a chance that some stables may split, some superstars get drafted to NXT, and chances of some WWE superstars getting released. I will not do all of the NXT roster as there are too many superstars, but I will put in the ones I feel will get a call-up to the main roster. I will also put out there that the undisputed tag titles will split, so wherever Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens go, they will vacate the other titles. If I am missing any, please let me know. Stay tuned for the mock draft for AEW in May. Without further ado, here is my 2023 WWE mock draft for the roster:
