I'm making my picks.
Okay, I am going to approach this draft as “Realistically” as possible. With that in mind, I do have a one rule I am imposing on myself, and I would prefer it if future picks followed this guideline, but I understand if you choose not to. So, what is this restriction?
The WWE World Heavyweight, Women’s, and Tag Team Champions are NOT assigned to a brand. They defend on both brands, and should they lose, they replace the new champion on his former brand.
Also, considering that Roman Reigns is suspended until AFTER the date of the Draft, he will not be drafted.
Also, I’ve made handy PhotoShop templates for my picks. If you want to use them, download the PSD links here:

And my number one pick for RAW is…
SETH ROLLINS.
Seth Rollins is a perfect pick for RAW, having been a WWE World Heavyweight Champion and the hand-picked champion of The Authority. With Dean Ambrose holding the title and Roman Reigns suspended, Rollins is the obvious #1 pick. Confidentially, it would’ve been Reigns to give the brand a “Top Face” in WWE’s mind, but since he’s out, and he’s barely cheered anyway, a Top Heel is just as good. Rollins is an excellent foundation for any brand to start off with.
Moving on to SmackDown, there’s only one person who can kick off the blue brand…
AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!
Yes, with one complaint of WWE in recent years being their lack of star power, the new split needs to have someone that can sell SmackDown. And, like him or not, John Cena is still probably the biggest and most recognizable name on the WWE’s main roster. Cena brings a legitimate Star Quality to SmackDown, which is something that is most definitely needed. There are plenty of GOOD wrestlers on the roster, but if you don’t want SmackDown to just be “the other show”, you need a name that will get the average joe to watch. Cena is that guy.
