2) ‘The Fiend‘
I don’t think that we can rule out Bray Wyatt (aka ‘The Fiend’) being selected first overall in the WWE Draft.
Bray is probably the hottest character in all of WWE right now. Fans are extremely invested in his new character and he is arguably the best part of WWE television each week.
In Kayfabe, Bray has been booked as strong as any WWE star in history. He took over 10 finishing moves from Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell and continued to kick out. I could easily see either RAW or Smackdown taking him first.
1) Brock Lesnar
I can’t have this list without mentioning Brock Lesnar. He is a strong candidate to go first overall in the WWE Draft.
Brock Lesnar recently won the WWE Championship from Kofi Kingston. With the Title win, he is now the top contender (in my eyes) to go first overall. I don’t think that it would surprise anyone to see him get picked at the top of the Draft.
If Smackdown has the first pick in the Draft, this seems like a no-brainer. It would also make sense for RAW to want Lesnar since Paul Heyman is in charge of the show.
As of right now, Brock is who I think will be selected first.
Who do you think will go first overall in the WWE Draft? Let me know in the comment section below.
