The first night of the 2019 WWE Draft is in the books, but it looks like WWE might be moving a few names around that were selected on last week's Friday Night SmackDown. Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer popped up during SmackDown's broadcast with what he claimed to be an inside scoop that both brands were looking for a "blockbuster trade" before the Draft wraps up on Monday Night Raw.

"One thing we can be on the lookout for, it would be a blockbuster trade," Glazer said. "Don't know what's going to happen, but I do know this — if one brand misses out on a must-have Superstar early, doesn't mean they can't land them much later."

WWE made no mention of trades when they posted the rules for the Draft on Thursday, but it's not unheard of. When Triple H was drafted to SmackDown back in 2004 the two brands took part in a massive trade that saw Triple H, Chuck Palumbo and A-Train go to Raw in exchange for Booker T, The Dudley Boyz, Rico and Miss Jackie.

Here's the full list of who got drafted during SmackDown's broadcast on FOX.

SmackDown

  • Roman Reigns
  • Bray Wyatt
  • Sasha Banks
  • Braun Strowman
  • Lacey Evans
  • The Revival
  • Lucha House Party
  • Heavy Machinery

Raw

  • Becky Lynch
  • The OC (AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson)
  • Drew McIntyre
  • Randy Orton
  • Ricochet
  • Bobby Lashley
  • Alexa Bliss
  • Kevin Owens
  • Natalya
  • The Viking Raiders
  • Nikki Cross
  • The Street Profits

And here's the list of "unsigned free agents" who were slotted to one of the two rosters after the show was over.

SmackDown

  • Apollo Crews
  • Drew Gulak
  • Tamina
  • The B-Team
  • Heath Slater
  • EC3
  • Eric Young
  • Sin Cara

So who's getting traded? Of all of the wrestlers above, Bray Wyatt seems like the obvious pick. "The Fiend" popped up during the show-opening match and attacked Seth Rollins once again, playing off of the controversial ending to their Hell in a Cell match from Sunday night. But at the same time Wyatt's popularity is at an all-time high, so WWE might want him on the bigger brand going forward.

The second night of the Draft will open with another match between Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. The winner will earn the first pick of the night for their respective show.
