8 Superstars Who Suffered From WWE Draft 2016

1. Cesaro

For the longest time now, many hardcore fans of World Wrestling Entertainment have been debating when the company will pull the trigger on Cesaro. The Swiss Superman is hugely popular, and also happens to be one of the best performers inside the ring in the entire company. Whilst he has been spinning his wheels somewhat since returning, surely the draft would give him the space to become the megastar he truly should be?

Well, put those dreams to bed. Cesaro was the 28th draft pick overall last night, RAW 17th. For a man who many consider to be on the cusp of big things in the company, that is a depressing realisation of his true standing in WWE.

Some of the names drafted ahead of Cesaro make for depressing reading; on RAW, Foley and Stephanie saw more use in drafting Big Show, Nia Jax and part-timer Chris Jericho than snapping up Cesaro.

Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon should have been licking their lips over on SmackDown. How could a guy with this much talent get ignored by RAW, those fools! Well not quite, as they deemed Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler and Natalya as better additions to their cause. Daniel Bryan, a man who has fought Cesaro all over the world, figured his show needed Baron Corbin more than it needed Cesaro.

Of course, I could very well be reading into this way too much. Cesaro finds himself on RAW, and is most likely now situated as the number six babyface. Number six?!

If there's one thing you can take from last night's WWE Draft, it is that the Cesaro Section will have to wait a lot longer to see their man on top of the pile.
