WWE Brand Split 2016: 20 Top Draft Picks For Raw And Smackdown

20. Smackdown #1 Pick: Dean Ambrose

Shane McMahon will not waste time. He is going to make a big splash with the first overall pick. It doesn't get much bigger than taking the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Dean Ambrose.

For more reasons than the strap on his shoulder, Dean Ambrose is the kind of competitor Shane likes. Ambrose often finds himself not just an underdog, but generally unwanted. Shane can easily relate to that.

For Ambrose, a move to Smackdown makes sense. Once his Triple Threat Match with his former Shield teammates is over, it will be time for him to move on. He's already battled Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns enough times and splitting them up adds a sense of urgency to winning at WWE Battleground.
