However, there seems to have been a change in the plans as the Draft has now been pushed back a month as per Andrew Zarian of Mat Men Podcast. Here is what Cagesideseats reported:

Looks like WWE has pushed the Draft back from the previously reported post-SummerSlam dates. Mat Men’s Andrew Zarian, says he was told Oct. 1 & 4, or Oct. 4 & 8 are the current options.

The WWE Draft is something fans have been eagerly awaiting as the company is in dire need of a roster reshuffle. Some rumors have suggested that major changes are in store for the Draft, and big names such as former IC Champion Big E and former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre might be getting new homes once the Draft concludes.
