After being confirmed to be taking place last week on SmackDown, WWE have now confirmed the date and location for the 2023 WWE Draft.
The first night of the two-night event will be on Friday April 28, during the usual SmackDown broadcast on FOX. The event will air from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, TX.
The second night will broadcast live two days later on May 1 on USA Network, during Monday Night Raw – airing from the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, TX.
The dates were confirmed during a commercial during this week’s SmackDown. The commercial itself has led to some speculation around the draft as during the announcement last week it was said that all superstars are eligible however the commercial only featured superstars from Raw and SmackDown – there was no mention of NXT superstars and none were featured in the video.
