As you likely know by now, 7 NXT stars were drafted in the 2016 WWE Draft. The night started with Finn Balor going 5th overall to RAW, in a move that surprised many. He was followed later on by Nia Jax who will join Balor on the RAW brand. American Alpha (Jason Jordan & Chad Gable) followed and will be fully entrenched in the Smackdown tag team division. In the later rounds we saw Alexa Bliss, Mojo Rawley and Carmella all get drafted to Smackdown. Triple H was a proud man on Tuesday night and took to twitter to congratulate the 7 NXT stars drafted.
After Finn Balor was drafted:
