Background
The WIW Draft is a process used by the American professional wrestling promotion WIW while a brand extension, or brand split, is in effect. The original brand extension occurred from 2002 to 2011, while the second and current brand split began in 2016. During a brand extension, the company divides its roster into what they call brands and wrestlers exclusively perform for each brand's respective television show, albeit with some exceptions. The draft is used to refresh the rosters of the brand divisions, typically between the Rage and ShowDown brands, which are regarded as the main roster. Since 2016, wrestlers from WIW's developmental brand, NGW, have been eligible to be drafted to either Rage or ShowDown. This will be the first WIW draft where wrestlers from Rage and ShowDown will eligible to be drafted to NGW.
