WWE is changing things up for the 2019 WWE Draft. They will be doing ‘draft pools’, which means only certain Superstars will be available to be drafted on specific nights.
When looking at the draft pools, we noticed a few Superstars who were not listed. Here is who we noticed was missing:
— Naomi, Nia Jax, Ruby Riott, The Ascension, Alicia Fox, and The Usos are missing from the current RAW roster.
— Lars Sullivan, Ember Moon, Lana, Mickie James, Zelina Vega, Sheamus, The Colons, and The Hardy Boyz are missing from the current Smackdown roster.
— Ariya Daivari, Jack Gallagher, Mike Kanellis, Brian Kendrick, Tony Nese, and The Singh Bros are missing from the current 205 Live roster. It should be noted that several 205 Live stars are included in the pools.
For those who missed it, here are the pools from WWE’s website:

The missing names are interesting. Some of them are hurt, so it makes sense to keep their brands a surprise until they return. Names like Naomi and Ember Moon were interesting to see not there.
