Every #1 draft pick in WWE history: Where are they now?

#1 Seth Rollins

When was Seth Rollins drafted at #1?

After a five-year break, the draft returned in 2016 when WWE decided to separate the rosters and introduce authority figures for RAW (Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley) and SmackDown (Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan).

As RAW had the first pick, Stephanie chose Seth Rollins – a fellow member of The Authority at the time – as the brand’s #1 choice.

The former Shield member would go on to be granted an opportunity to win the newly introduced Universal Championship in a one-on-one match against Finn Balor one month later at SummerSlam. However, he was unable to pick up the victory and had to wait until April 2019 to finally win the title from Brock Lesnar.

Where is Seth Rollins in 2019?

Regardless of his draft position in 2019, Seth Rollins is even more important to WWE now than he was in 2016.

The current Universal Champion will represent RAW by facing SmackDown’s Roman Reigns in the first match of the 2019 draft on October 11, with the winner’s brand being given the choice of first pick.
