9 WWE Superstars who were #1 picks in the Draft

#7 WWE Draft 2005 and 2011 - John Cena

[Pc: WWE.com]

John Cena is the only wrestler to have been the #1 pick at two separate WWE Drafts.

In 2005, the Professor of Thuganomics was drafted to the red brand. Cena was the WWE Champion at the time and took his championship to his new home. It had been three years since Cena's debut match again Kurt Angle and the Cenation Leader was already one of the top guys in the company.

He continued to makes waves, though, which is backed up by the fact Cena made his way back to RAW as the #1 pick of WWE's Draft in 2011. The SmackDown locker room was ecstatic when Cena was revealed to be the #1 pick and cheers erupted all over the arena.

Those cheers were premature, however, as Cena spent less than half a day as a part of SmackDown's roster. RAW earned the night's last draft pick as Team RAW beat Team SmackDown in a six-man tag match that included Cena. In a shocking turn of events, RAW revealed that their final draft pick would be Cena, inducting him back onto the roster.
