Will WWE NXT Superstars be drafted this year?

While they aren't featured in the graphic, the Draft was a topic of conversation on last week's episode of NXT, teasing that the men and women of that brand would be eligible to be drafted as well.

The two big matches to watch out for on this Tuesday's Spring Breakin' special will be the NXT Championship match between Carmelo Hayes and Grayson Waller and the triple threat bout for the NXT Women's Championship between Indi Hartwell, Tiffany Stratton, and Roxanne Perez.

Whoever leaves those matches without championship gold could have a very good shot at being drafted this year.
