The WWE Draft will be coming on October 11th and 14th. Here are some of the top candidates who could go first overall.
6) Seth Rollins
A top candidate to go first overall is Seth Rollins, who is the current WWE Universal Champion. Seth went first overall in the 2016 WWE Draft and he could easily do it again.
Since he is the current Universal Champion, him getting selected first would not be a stretch. He is considered one of the top stars in WWE, so it would make sense for either RAW or Smackdown to build around him.
If RAW gets the first pick, it would make sense for them to take their Universal Champion first. If Smackdown gets the first pick, they probably aren’t taking Rollins unless they want the Universal Title on their show.
5) Charlotte Flair
Another Superstar who I think has a solid chance at going first overall in this Draft is Charlotte Flair.
Charlotte is clearly a backstage favorite of most of the top Executives in WWE. Her 10 Women’s Championship reigns demonstrate that pretty clearly. Plus, she has been involved in most of the big moments involving the Women’s division over the past few years.
I could see WWE adding another accolade to her resume. She could become the first-ever female to get selected first overall in a WWE Draft.
It definitely wouldn’t surprise me if RAW or Smackdown chose to build their Women’s division around her. She went 3rd overall in the 2016 WWE Draft and maybe she moves up a few spots this year? I wouldn’t be shocked if it happened.
