The 2019 WIW draft is the thirteenth WIW draft produced by the American professional wrestling promotion WIW between the Rage and ShowDown brands. Simply called the draft and returning to a traditional format, it will be the second draft of 2019, following April's Superstar Shake-up. The draft is scheduled to occur on the October 12 and 16 episodes of Saturday Night ShowDown and Wednesday Night Raw, respectively, with ShowDown airing on Fox – its second episode on the network – and Rage airing on the NBC.

[edit] Background

In April 2019, the WIW held the Superstar Shake-up draft, a draft between WIW's brands with an untraditional format in which drafting decisions were made behind the scenes. Shortly after the Shake-up, one of WIW authority figures Rex Martin introduced a Wild Card Rule, in which up to four wrestlers would be allowed to appear on the opposing brand's show by invitation for one night only with unsanctioned appearances penalized. Following this, however, the Wild Card Rule's stipulations were not enforced, with numerous wrestlers freely appearing on both shows weekly without any penalties, blurring the lines between the Rage and ShowDown brands. With ShowDown's move to Fox in October and Rage moving to the NBC Network, the WIW decided to hold a second draft for 2019, simply called the draft, to definitively split the two brands. The draft was announced to occur on the October 12 and 16 episodes of ShowDown and Rage, respectively. Returning to a traditional draft format, personalities from FOX and NBC are scheduled to appear to make the drafting decisions, along with two WIW authority figures who will be revealed on the first night. It was also confirmed that the Wild Card Rule would end with this new draft.

[edit] Drafting pool

The drafting pool was divided between the broadcasts of both shows, with up to 30 picks allotted on ShowDown and 41 on Rage. Any remaining picks from the respective draft pools are announced on WIW's website. Undrafted wrestlers (those not selected on the shows or announced via WIW.com) immediately become free agents and can sign with the brand of their choosing.

[edit] ShowDown (October 12)

There were four rounds of draft picks during Night 1 of the 2019 draft. WIW's Chairwomen Glennda McAlmond]] announced the draft picks for each round.
