10 Superstars Who Will Benefit Most From WWE Draft 2016

10. Kalisto

Several upset wins over Alberto Del Rio netted Kalisto the United States Championship and a handful of wins over Ryback helped him retain the title but nothing could make up for what still felt like a flat first half of 2016 for the masked luchador.

The welcome news for Kalisto is that the brand extension provides him with the opportunity to receive more television time, to continue building his singles career, and to move into a higher profile spot on the card. He has experience working with some of the best wrestlers on the roster, including the aforementioned Del Rio, with whom he has delivered several very strong performances.

A flashy worker with a great look that lends itself to merchandising, Kalisto is a wrestler who could prove incredibly valuable to WWE as it splits its roster and looks to create new, exciting stars to build its brands with. In return, Kalisto figures to enjoy the biggest push of his career, one that may finally see him reach the status of the great Rey Mysterio, something WWE officials would love.
