With the top two stars (and babyfaces) in WWE spoken for, Shane McMahon will have to think like a businessman. With that in mind, he'll use his next draft pick to secure a star who's arguably the most talented in the entire company, but isn't exactly easy to deal with - former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. Rollins will be disappointed by his selection, as he would have preferred the favoritism Stephanie McMahon could offer, but he'll vow to use the opportunity to make Roman Reigns's life a living hell.

Putting Reigns and Rollins on the same show will cement the two men as career-long archrivals and will allow their feud to continue even when the WWE World Heavyweight Championship isn't part of the mix. This draft pick will also show that, even though Rollins may be beneath Reigns in the company's pecking order, he's still got a safe and valued spot as the top heel in the entire organization. Yes, in a perfect world, Rollins would be the top babyface, but being number one heel is nothing to sneeze at - especially when it gets you into a WrestleMania main event.
