WWE Draft 2022 would be making its way right after WWE Clash at the Castle as per reports. This is the first annual WWE roster shake-up, known to drastically change the landscape of the company, under the new management who have already made valiant efforts to improve the WWE product for viewers.
WWE Superstars from RAW and SmackDown switch brands each year in the draft for fresh competition and storylines, but at the same time, NXT (currently known as NXT 2.0) has also made its presence in the WWE Draft with many young Superstars from the Developmental territory being drafted by the Flagship shows and this year could not be any different.
Here are 5 NXT Superstars who could in line to be drafted in the 2022 WWE Draft:

The Land of NXT is currently dominated by reigning two-time NXT Champion Bron Breakker. The son of Rick Steiner has proved himself to be a force to be reckoned with in only a short span of time while also making some appearances on Monday Night RAW during his feud with Dolph Ziggler. T
he Big Bad Booty Daddy could certainly be a major candidate to be selected in the Draft by either RAW or SmackDown.
2. Toxic Attraction

When we speak of the NXT women’s division today, the team of Gigi Dollin, Jacy Jayne and NXT Women’s champion Mandy Rose collectively known as Toxic Attraction are the ones to be mentioned first.
Having already established their dominance over NXT and recently appearing on Smackdown picking a huge win in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title tournament puts them in the race for being selected in the WWE Draft 2022.
3. Solo Sikoa

With an impressive mark made in NXT as a singles competitor and his Bloodline awaiting on the main roster, Solo Sikoa could be the perfect pick for the main roster in the Draft. This move could be initiated by Roman Reigns’ special counsel Paul Heyman pulling the strings to get their Uso being called up.
4. Nikkita Lyons

The former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar has been a mainstay on the developmental brand for a long time proving his worth as a potential main event talent.
His recent loss to Tony DeAngelo at NXT Heatwave forced him out of NXT which could set the tone to bring his immense talent over to the main roster by getting drafted on RAW or Smackdown.
