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

1. Drew McIntyre

WWE Draft 2023 Drew McIntyre Indi Hartwell Bianca Belair Edge

Draft Position: #5 for SmackDown. #10 overall.

Brand Switch: SmackDown > Raw.

This was a real must.

Question marks remain over Drew McIntyre's WWE future, but he did get the distinction of playing a big part in the 2023 Draft. Drew leaping from SmackDown to Raw should be considered one of the biggest heavyweight jumps this year, and it should revitalise his singles career.

This fan's guess? McIntyre will turn heel and feud with Cody Rhodes over the World Heavyweight Championship. That'd be a full circle moment for the former tag champs (you'd need to go all the way back to 2010 for that one), and they'd mesh so well in-ring as rivals.
