WWE Brand Split 2016: 20 Top Draft Picks For Raw And Smackdown
15. Raw #3 Pick: Seth Rollins
Stephanie McMahon is going to be thrilled with Shane's #3 pick because it will allow her to complete her master plan. With Roman Reigns already exclusive to Raw, Stephanie will select Seth Rollins. This will make Raw the favorite to hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after Battleground.
Having Reigns and Rollins will give Stephanie a two-thirds chance of taking the WWE World Heavyweight Championship back from Smackdown's Dean Ambrose. Not to mention, she'll have the two guys who've proven they can win the title without a surprise cash in with the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Rollins is a great pick for Raw because of his versatility. If Reigns works out as Raw's new Cena, then Rollins can make his living as the red brand's top heel. If Reigns falters, then Rollins can switch roles and feud with a heel Reigns, Brock Lesnar, or another of Stephanie's upcoming picks.
