During the Draft, Raw will get three picks for every two picks for Smackdown because of the three-hour and two-hour show formats, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>A big item is that six Draft picks will be made from the NXT roster.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding tag teams, each tag team counts as one pick, unless the Raw\/Smackdown authority figures specifically pick out one member of a team.<\/p>\n<p>This especially relates to The Wyatts, who are listed as individual wrestlers, not a tag team. Whereas, WWE tag champions New Day, Social Outcasts, and several\u00a0other teams are listed as a tag team unit that can be drafted as a whole team, or broken up as individuals. But, apparently The Wyatts cannot be drafted as a whole unit.<\/p>\n<p>Other big items on\u00a0the list of eligible roster members include:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Part-timers: Brock Lesnar is eligible to be drafted, but The Rock, Triple H, and The Undertaker are not eligible to be drafted.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2608725273\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; Injured stars: Randy Orton is eligible to be drafted since he&#8217;s returning at Battleground and Summerslam. However, Luke Harper, Emma, Tamina, Brie Bella (retired), and Nikki Bella are not listed as eligible draft picks.<\/p>\n<p>Neville, who returned to WWE action in a dark match at last Tuesday&#8217;s Smackdown and on this weekend&#8217;s house show tour, is listed as an eligible draft pick.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Lana and Maryse are not listed as individual women&#8217;s division picks. They are package deals with Rusev and Miz, respectively. Bob Backlund is also a package deal with Darren Young.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Roman Reigns is listed as an eligible draft pick while suspended.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ryback is not listed as an eligible roster member despite still being on WWE&#8217;s official roster page.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tyson Kidd, whose career might be over, is still listed on WWE&#8217;s roster, but he is not eligible to be drafted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eligible Male Roster Members<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A.J.
