#2 Summer Rae

Summer Rae was picked 44th overall in the draft

With the greatest of respect to Summer Rae, how on earth was she picked ahead of Braun Strowman?! He was relatively new to the main roster but he was still involved in segments with Brock Lesnar, The Rock, John Cena and The Undertaker and was clearly a big part of WWE’s plans for the future.

Summer, on the other hand, had barely been on television in the months prior to the draft but was still picked four places ahead of Strowman. She was released by WWE in October.
