WWE is moving fast on the Road to WrestleMania 42, and several matches have already been announced for the premium live event. All four world titles will be on the line, while Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi will battle in a singles match.
While the brand split remains intact on the main roster, with most superstars sticking to WWE’s RAW or SmackDown shows, some don’t follow this division. The Stamford-based promotion recently confirmed as many as four free agents on their website.
These superstars don’t follow the brand split and appear on both shows. Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi are both included in the list, appearing on both the brands over the past few months. On the other hand, Danhausen has also started appearing in backstage segments on RAW and SmackDown.
Omos hasn’t been seen on programming in years, but continues to be featured as a free agent on the company’s website. However, he has been appearing regularly on AAA as El Hijo del Vikingo’s bodyguard.
WWE unlikely to hold the Draft in 2026
The last time WWE held a draft to separate the two brands and enable stars to switch shows was in 2024. Last year, the company had a transfer window before RAW’s move to Netflix to allow LA Knight, Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns to move to RAW.
On the other hand, Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest moved to SmackDown. The rosters have remained mostly consistent over the past year. But, according to BodySlam+, there are no plans for the company to have a Draft this year either.
As a result, the rosters will likely remain as they are at this time. Free agents, unless they are signed to a particular brand, will also continue to appear on both shows, especially to build the hype for WrestleMania 42 in April.
