Draft Position: #4 to SmackDown. #9 overall.

Despite a few cameos here and there (as a 'Wild Card', mainly), Braun Strowman has been a Raw star since the 2016 Draft and a bit of a cheerleader for the brand. He's been part of Team Raw at the past three Survivor Series pay-per-views, for example, and that makes his move to SmackDown more noteworthy than most others.

Once he's finished trading punches with boxer Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia, Strowman can settle down to life on FOX and get back some of that aura he had back between 2016-2017. The way he's booked will be crucial there. Signs are good that WWE realise he can't continue being sucked into comedic storylines on the undercard.

Becoming a knock out artist post-Crown Jewel wouldn't be the worst idea for Braun.
