Dana Brooke’s WWE career in 2016 (draft pick #56)

After a one-year run on NXT television, Dana Brooke made an immediate impact on Raw and SmackDown in May 2016 by defeating high-profile names including Becky Lynch, Natalya and Paige during her first month as a member of the main roster.

Despite forming an alliance with the top female Superstar in WWE at the time, Charlotte Flair, Brooke was the lowest-ranked woman with Raw and SmackDown experience in the 2016 draft.

Dana Brooke’s WWE career in 2019

Overcoming critics can be a very difficult task for WWE Superstars, but Dana Brooke has been able to do just that in 2019. While she was once mocked for in-ring mistakes that she made early on in her career, the Raw Superstar has now become one of the most underappreciated members of the women’s division.

The positive crowd reaction to her appearance in the WrestleMania 35 Battle Royal did not result in any meaningful television time on Raw. Instead, she has mostly featured in matches against Sarah Logan on Main Event.
