WWE Fantasy League 2026-2027 Season

Posted by Callum Wiggins Saturday, May 2, 2026

Welcome to your source for tracking the 2026-2027 season of the WWE Fantasy League here at Smark Out Moment!

Who doesn't enjoy some friendly competition? Tony Mango, Callum Wiggins and Robert DeFelice are looking to battle their way to victory in the return of the WWE Fantasy League.

Think of this as any typical Fantasy League – every player is looking to pick the team of WWE superstars that will earn them the most points between Backlash 2026 and WrestleMania 43, with points earned for appearances, victories and championship successes.

With 3 teams drafted from across the Raw, SmackDown and NXT rosters, points will be won and lost on the journey to crowning this season's champion, and to secure bragging rights among the Smack Talk crew.

THE RULES

These are the rules we will abide by for this season of the Fantasy League relating to how the teams are drafted, how trades are made, and how points are scored. If you're keen on creating your own Fantasy League among friends, feel free to use our rules as your guide.

LEAGUE / DRAFT / TRADE RULES

Teams are drafted from across the entirety of the Raw, SmackDown and NXT rosters
Each competitor will select 10 superstars from the available rosters in a snake-style draft
The first 3 picks of each team are 100% protected, and cannot be removed unless the player themself chooses to remove them – in this instance, they can designate another superstar to be a protected pick
Both male and female superstars are eligible
Tag teams, factions and stables are NOT drafted as units – each superstar must be picked individually
Points are only scored for results on PLEs and episodes of Raw, SmackDown and NXT – anything that happens on Main Event, Evolve, AAA, etc. doesn't count
Between every PPV competitors can make a maximum of 3 trades to their teams. These trades will be discussed and made on episodes of the Hot Tags. The newly drafted superstar's point scoring taking effect the week after they are drafted (i.e. if someone makes a trade during Week 5, the new superstar will begin scoring points on Week 6).
The first weeks after SummerSlam and Royal Rumble, each competitor will add 1 more superstar to their roster, with first pick going to the person in last place, and the final pick to the person in first place. This is this season's catch-up mechanic or "blue shell".

To add a bit more jeopardy into the mix, there are also special rules based on our success in every PLE predictions contest. Whoever wins the most recent PLE Prediction Contest gains the following benefits:

They earn 20 additional points to their score
They can double to points of one team member until the next PLE
They get first option to make trades at the weekly intervals

CURSE CARDS

In honor of Danhausen, each player will be gifted 3 Curse Cards that they may use throughout the season. Each card is one use only, so use them wisely...

The Curse of Trade: The player can force a trade of one of their team members for another player's team members. Whoever they trade for becomes a new protected pick for their team.
The Curse of Weakening: The player can cause both of their opponents to score half points for the week this is activated.
The Curse of Injustice: The player adds one extra person to their roster for 4 weeks. Once the 4 weeks are over, the superstar returns to the draft pool.

Curse Cards must be played before Elimination Chamber, as they cannot be used on the final run before WrestleMania 43.
