Top 20 Draft Picks For WWE's Brand Split 2016

With his sixth pick, Shane McMahon will snatch up WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz (and his wife/valet, Maryse), giving Raw sole ownership over the Intercontinental Title. Shane McMahon will remark that the competition over the championship has been as intense as it's ever been lately, continuing in the tradition of men like Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and The Rock, and that he's proud to bring that action to Raw.

The Miz won't be as excited. He'll remind Shane McMahon that none of that would be possible without him as Intercontinental Champion, and despite all that, he wasn't one of the top ten overall selections in the draft. He'll vow to keep defending his championship not to help Raw, but to spite it and Shane McMahon, and promise that just as Shane wants to use him to make Raw more popular, he'll use the show to become an even larger star.

As for the title, Raw needs a secondary belt, and the Intercontinental Championship is just as synonymous with WWE as the red brand itself. They're a perfect fit, just as they were during the original split.
