2017 WWE Draft Lottery

The 2017 WWE Superstar Shake-up was the eleventh draft produced by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE. It is a two-day event, taking place on the April 10 and April 11 episodes of Raw and SmackDown Live, respectively, on the USA Network in the United States.
==Background==
On the April 3 episode of Raw, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announced that on the April 10 and April 11 episodes of Raw and SmackDown Live, respectively, "it's time to shake things up around here", effectively announcing the 2017 draft, or what was labeled the "Superstar Shake-Up". Instead of a traditional draft, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle and SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan have the "opportunity to make trades, deals and other moves that they feel fit".
