Top 20 Draft Picks For WWE's Brand Split 2016

Stephanie McMahon will take the stage one last time to make her final draft pick, but before she announces who she's hiring, she'll take another opportunity to run down Raw. Even though she'll admit that Shane made some strong choices throughout the evening, she'll say that he missed the mark big-time with Dolph.

According to her, "The Showoff" is damaged goods and he consistently under-delivers. Stephanie, in the meantime, will use her last selection to draft someone who doesn't need a pep talk or a time machine to be great - Apollo Crews. Crews will gladly accept his membership on the Smackdown roster, promising that he and the rest of the great talent on the show will help carry the brand into the future and make Smackdown the best thing in wrestling.

There will be no shortage of programs for Crews on Smackdown, with heels like Kevin Owens, Bray Wyatt, and Randy Orton all available for feuds with the former NXT star. Crews should pick up more than just some major wins, though - within a year of the split, he should be the reigning and defending United States Champion, holding the unofficial position of leader of Smackdown and cementing himself in fans' minds as a sure-fire future WWE Champion.
