The WWE Draft may be on Tuesday night, but the company is still frantically changing plans for the show.
On Tuesday night, the WWE Draft will take place, which will divide the wrestlers onto exclusive rosters for Raw and SmackDown. Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley will pick for Raw, while Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan will handle SmackDown.
Where these Superstars go is pre-determined, just like any other piece of WWE programming. However, the company has been criticized before for not planning in advance. With the draft coverage beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET, it doesn’t seem that WWE has finalized their plans for the show, which could impact the next full year of programming. This is according to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer.
Just hours left before the #WWEDraft and they're still constantly changing who goes where.

To top it off, WWE reportedly hasn’t set the NXT stars they want to call-up.
Creative has been debating NXT drafts for an hour now. Today. Two hours before the pre-show goes live. They've had WEEKS. #WWEDraft

This is astonishing to come out just hours before the WWE Draft. How the company has not planned out and confirmed who is going to which brand by now is amazing. This especially goes for the NXT stars. Whoever gets drafted has to uproot their lives from Florida and travel on the road for multiple shows per week. It’s a huge life change for the six stars that move up, and for WWE to be keeping this in flux with the draft so close is appalling.
All this should make the WWE Draft one big spectacle on Tuesday night.
