The first night of WWE’s Draft will be held Friday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

The company has been extremely secretive on which talent will switch brands.

Wrestlevotes is reporting that despite information being tight lipped, RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman is fighting for Bray Wyatt to remain on RAW, and Aleister Black to be moved from SmackDown to the red brand.

It was noted that FOX – not specifically Eric Bischoff has remained steady on keeping Roman Reigns and Charlotte on SmackDown.

WWE will be making this year’s Draft a major deal for the company. Dave Meltzer noted in today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that the Draft selections have been completed, but only select top stars may be made aware of their spots.

The company wants to replicate how major sports drafts are presented. Representatives from FOX and USA Network are expected to make the picks for their specific brands.
