Draft Position: #8 to Raw. #13 overall.

No more Shane McMahon for Kevin Owens and no more talk of an NXT jump. He's officially a Monday Night Raw man again. That, as his biggest supporters will know, was the site of his greatest WWE achievement: Universal Title success in 2016. Maybe KO can replicate that just over three years on?

SmackDown hasn't always been kind to him anyway, so a move was overdue.

Owens has been honest and self-critical about his work over the past few years. Should WWE nourish him with angles and matches that motivate the man, then they'll find that Kevin can be reborn on Monday nights. He tops the billing here as the best overall Draft pick so far.

Which WWE Draft picks from SmackDown on FOX did you think were the best? Do you agree with the order here? Let us know down in the comments!
