#5 Roman Reigns
Trending
Despite his critics, Roman Reigns is the most successful WWE Superstar of his generation and he would almost certainly be the #1 pick in the 2019 draft if he had a title around his waist.
In 2016, the draft came shortly after “The Big Dog” had been suspended for violating WWE’s wellness policy, while he had also lost the WWE Championship one month earlier against Seth Rollins.
Three years on, Reigns has not been involved in any title storylines since he returned to in-ring action in March 2019 following his battle with leukemia. However, his importance to WWE has still been highlighted in non-title rivalries, as proven at Clash of Champions when he faced Erick Rowan in the only match on the card with no title on the line.
Moving forward, the four-time WrestleMania main-eventer is bound to challenge for the WWE Championship or Universal Championship at some point before WrestleMania 36. But, realistically, it will be difficult for WWE to justify him as the #1 draft pick in the 2019 draft if, just like in 2016, he does not have a title heading into the roster changes.
Roman Reigns’ 2016 draft position: #6
