Ranking Every Night One WWE 2024 Draft Pick From Worst To Best
5. Kiana James
Draft Position: #8 for Raw. #16 overall.
Brand Switch: NXT > Raw.
Eyebrows were raised once it became clear Roxanne Perez wouldn't be involved in this year's Draft. She seemed like a dead cert to get promoted, but brand champs are locked. That must be why WWE went with Kiana James instead. Even she looked taken aback when a Raw cap was placed on her head during SmackDown.
To the future!
James was the last name announced on TV during opening night, and that's a pretty big deal for her. She still has an entire career ahead of her, and can easily make a splash on Raw if given a fair shake. It's nice to see promising workers get rewarded.
