Ranking Every Night One WWE 2023 Draft Pick From Worst To Best

7. Damage CTRL

WWE Draft 2023 Drew McIntyre Indi Hartwell Bianca Belair Edge
WWE

Draft Position: #7 for SmackDown. #13 overall.

Brand Switch: Raw > SmackDown.

Here's another top value trade.

SmackDown's women's division needed some depth, and that's why Damage CTRL coming over from Raw is a blessing. Bayley, as the leader, can always slot in against the champ when needed, and the combo of Dakota Kai and IYO SKY has real breakout potential too.

Hopefully, this will be the beginning of Kai's rise towards a sustainable singles run. She's just waiting on that one killer match or storyline to help kick her WWE career into high gear. NXT loyalists already know what she can do - now, it's SmackDown's turn.
