Ranking Every 2019 WWE Draft Pick So Far From Worst To Best

7. Roman Reigns

Draft Position: #1 to SmackDown. #2 overall.

There's no doubt that Roman Reigns is the kind of handsome debonaire devil FOX higher-ups will love.

He has presence, a real-life story of overcoming seriously threatening illness, is an expert at handling the media by now and will inevitably be back in the hunt for top titles soon. Plus, Michael Cole will be happy he can rattle off his "Here comes the Big Dog" line every Friday.

Roman was a safe pick for SmackDown, but that doesn't necessarily make him a bad one. WWE know they can keep him purring in the background until they'll ready for chapter #1,765 of Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar (assuming the WWE Title stays put). It'll happen someday. Believe that.
