The 2016 WWE draft will be the largest draft in WWE history.  Every man and woman on the roster will be a free agent and can be picked up by either Raw or SmackDown.  The draft has always been my favorite day of the year (except for WrestleMania, of course).   With that being said, I’m sure you can imagine how excited I am for the next few weeks.
