First 5 picks of 2020 WWE Draft Night 2: Where are they now?

WWE recently made the announcement that the 2021 WWE Draft will once again take place in October.

Like the previous WWE Drafts, this year's event will take place across two nights, as it will air on both Friday Night SmackDown and Monday Night RAW.

The respective rosters of both brands will be shaken up almost exactly 12 months after the previous WWE draft.

Night One of the 2021 WWE Draft will take place on the October 1st episode of Friday Night SmackDown on FOX. The event will conclude on the October 4th episode of Monday Night RAW.

The two-night event will see the Superstars of WWE selected to either the red or blue brand, as both shows will bring some new faces in ahead of their respective "season premieres."

Ahead of this year's draft, let's look back at the first five picks of the 2020 WWE Draft Night 2 and how the past 12 months panned out for these selections.

#5 Charlotte Flair (WWE RAW)

On the second night of the 2020 WWE Draft, the fifth and final pick of the first round saw Charlotte Flair remain on Monday Night RAW.

At the time, Flair was off television recovering from surgery and various injuries that she had been working through.

The Queen later returned in December at the Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view as a surprise tag team partner for Asuka. The duo defeated Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax to capture the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. But the popular pairing dropped the titles back to Jax and Baszler the following month at the Royal Rumble show.

The Queen then transitioned into a feud with Lacey Evans as part of a controversial storyline in which Ric Flair managed Evans on Monday Night RAW. But the angle was dropped after The Sassy Southern Belle revealed that she was legitimately pregnant.

After she took some time off, Charlotte continued chasing the RAW Women's Championship on the red brand for a few months. This pursuit paid off, as Flair eventually won the title for the fifth time by defeating Rhea Ripley at Money in the Bank in July. That being said, she lost the title the following night on RAW when Nikki A.S.H. cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on the champion.

Still, Flair quickly recaptured the RAW Women's Championship when she beat Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match at SummerSlam to once again become the champion of the red brand. She has reigned supreme ever since.

#4 The Street Profits - RAW Tag Team Champions (WWE SmackDown)

WWE RAW Tag Team Champions The Street Profits were the fourth pick in the first round of the 2020 WWE Draft on Night Two. The duo moved from Monday Night RAW to Friday Night SmackDown. Because RAW drafted the SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day, the two tag teams were forced to "swap" their respective tag team titles.

As a result, The Street Profits became the SmackDown Tag Team Champions and The New Day became the RAW Tag Team Champions.

The Street Profits eventually lost their titles to Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler in January 2021.

Since then, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have feuded with the likes of Chad Gable & Otis and The Usos on a regular basis on the blue brand. The team remains a fan-favorite duo, and they're still in the middle of the title picture.

#3 Randy Orton (WWE RAW

Randy Orton remained on WWE RAW because he was selected as the third pick in the first round of the draft on Night Two.

Just a few weeks later, The Viper captured his fifteenth world title when he defeated Drew McIntyre at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

But Orton's reign as the champion didn't last long, as he dropped the title back to Drew McIntyre a few weeks later on RAW.

Randy Orton then moved into a feud with "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss. This storyline involved Orton defeating Wyatt in a FireFly Inferno match at Tables, Ladders and Chairs, where he set The Fiend on fire to win the bout.

After months of hype, "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton clashed in a singles match at WrestleMania 37 Night Two. There, The Apex Predator defeated his long-time rival after Alexa Bliss shockingly betrayed The Fiend.

Since then, Randy Orton has formed a unique tag team with Riddle on RAW. Known as R-K-Bro, Orton and Riddle captured the RAW Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam in August, as they defeated AJ Styles and Omos in a title match. The fan-favorite pairing has held the gold ever since.

#2 Bayley - SmackDown Women's Champion (WWE SmackDown)

WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley was the second overall pick in the first round of the 2020 WWE Draft, so she remained on the blue brand.

Just weeks later, Bayley lost the SmackDown Women's Championship against Sasha Banks at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. This defeat ended Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship reign at a record-breaking 380 days.

The Role Model then feuded with several female stars on the SmackDown roster, most notably Bianca Belair.

Bayley wasn't booked in a match on either night of WrestleMania 37, but she had a few segments with hosts Hulk Hogan, Titus O'Neil and The Bella Twins.

Bayley's feud with Belair continued for a few months, as she unsuccessfully challenged for the SmackDown Women's Championship against The EST at the next two pay-per-views.

Unfortunately, Bayley suffered a torn ACL in July 2021 when she was training at the company's Performance Center. It has been reported that the former SmackDown Women's Champion will be sidelined for nine months.

#1 "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt (WWE RAW)

"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt was selected as the first overall pick of the first round in the draft on Night Two. As a result, he jumped from Friday Night SmackDown to Monday Night RAW.

The Fiend, along with Alexa Bliss, quickly entered a feud with Randy Orton, and the masked monster lost an unforgettable FireFly Inferno Match against The Viper at the Tables, Ladders and Chairs event in December.

After being set on fire by Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt spent the next several months off television until he returned at FastLane in March. In doing so, he set up a WrestleMania 37 Night Two showdown between the two rivals.

At the company's biggest show of the year, The Viper defeated The Fiend after Alexa Bliss cost him the bout.

Bray Wyatt was then off television for several months before he was shockingly released by the company on July 31, 2021. The former Universal Champion is currently waiting for his 90-day non-compete clause to expire before he can sign with other professional wrestling promotions.
