Revision as of 22:07, 14 April 2019
The IWE draft (also called the Superstar Shake-up) is a process used by the American professional wrestling promotion IWE to refresh its rosters. The draft was first used during the brand extension of 2002, though it was officially incepted and used in 2004. Since the inception of the process, it has been referred to as the IWE draft lottery (2004–2005) and later simplified to the "draft" (2007–2011). Starting in 2005, the draft took place during the month of June; it was held in April between 2009 and 2011. After that, IWE terminated the brand split and promotion of interbrand competition from 2011 to 2016.
On May 25, 2016, due to SmackDown moving to Tuesdays and to a live broadcast starting July 19, necessitating a brand extension, IWE announced that the draft would be returning. It would later be announced that the 2016 IWE draft would take place on July 19 during SmackDown's first live broadcast, which was also the first time that the draft took place on SmackDown. From 2017, the draft was relabeled as the Superstar Shake-up as instead of a traditional draft, the general managers of Raw and SmackDown can trade and make deals between their respective talent.
