Ranking Every Night Two WWE 2021 Draft Pick From Worst To Best

7. Xia Li

Xia Li WWE SmackDown
WWE

Draft Position: #6 to SmackDown. #12 overall.

Brand Switch: NXT to SmackDown.

Eyebrows were raised amongst some of this scribe's mates when NXT's Xia Li was announced on Monday as SmackDown's next big female get. The whole Tian Sha gimmick might not come with her, but that's pure guesswork for now. What isn't? Li can get it done in-ring.

Bouts vs. Charlotte Flair, Bayley (once she returns), Sasha Banks and Shayna Baszler should be awesome if WWE want any of those. Xia started to rock and roll the longer she hung around on NXT - this, fingers crossed, is her next step towards becoming a huge deal.

Chirpy optimism, perhaps.
