Season 4 Draft Day is coming
SHD gathers on Sunday, September 20, 2026 at Rigas Arena · 6490 crois. des Amandiers. Everyone arrives at 11:30 AM Eastern Time. The official snake draft begins at 2:00 PM.
All twelve managers compete in a classified first mini-game. The top four earn the first four opportunities to choose any available draft position. Winning does not automatically assign pick #1. The remaining eight compete in a WWE 2K26 Battle Royal to set the rest of the selection priority.
BBQ, manager entrances, personalized folders and the commissioner’s speech are part of the day. Entrance songs are not yet official. The $50 entry fee is due before or on arrival, and the Season 4 prize pool totals $600.
Draft results will replace speculation with actual rosters. Until then, SHD’s power rankings and editorial odds reflect manager history only.
