There was a lot of talk of WWE refreshing the RAW and SmackDown rosters after SummerSlam. Some of it came from Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast, who reported that the WWE Draft was scheduled to take place on August 30th and September 3rd.

While the Draft did happen in 2021, it took place a month later than what the report said. The proceedings began October 1st and carried over to the 4th of the month.

The date may not have been accurate, but Zarian did state that there were "big plans" for some big stars to switch brands and that was exactly what happened. Among the biggest movers were Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, who went to RAW, while Charlotte Flair and Drew McIntyre shifted to SmackDown.

The moves were made at the start of October, but the 2021 WWE Draft would not be reflected on RAW and SmackDown until after Crown Jewel later that month. As a result of the moves made, Lynch and Flair had an awkward title exchange
