WWE Brand Split 2016: 20 Top Draft Picks For Raw And Smackdown
18. Smackdown #2 Pick: John Cena
Shane will be stunned by his sister's top pick. Secretly, he's going to be kicking himself for not thinking of Lesnar first. He will recover, though, by taking WWE's top draw for the past decade, John Cena.
Adding the reliable Cena to the up and coming Ambrose will give Smackdown a great one-two-punch in its main event scene. All of Cena's fans are going to follow him over to Tuesday nights and maybe start skipping Raw on occasion. That will help Shane in the ratings war.
WWE has tried moving Cena over to Smackdown before, but it never took. What's different now is that Smackdown is live and WWE has a successor it believes in for Raw. This is the best possible time to commit to Cena as part of the Smackdown roster.
