5 strangest picks from WWE Draft 2020

#4 Peyton Royce stays on RAW at WWE Draft 2020

RAW picked up Peyton Royce at WWE Draft 2020

The top four names on Monday Night RAW in the women's division after WWE Draft 2020 are as follows - RAW Women's Champion Asuka, Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, and Shayna Baszler. Also comprising the women's division are Lacey Evans, Nikki Cross, Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke, Lana, Alexa Bliss, and Naomi.

When you throw Peyton Royce into the mix, it makes the division deep from top the bottom. The main problem, however, is that she has little to no chance of becoming Champion. The top four women will continue to dominate the division, making it hard for anyone to advance. Bliss and Naomi are former titleholders in their own rights, but WWE officials love Flair and Asuka. Jax and Baszler are monster heels that only fall to the top babyfaces.

For those reasons, it would have made sense for Royce - and not Billie Kay - to be the IIconic to join Friday nights during WWE Draft 2020. Royce is said to be a favorite of WWE management and that's fine. Advancing on RAW, however, will be an extremely difficult task. Kay has done well as a tag team member and comedy act. She's probably not going to rise to defeat Asuka, Jax, or Flair.

Had WWE moved Royce to SmackDown, she'd at least have a chance to be SmackDown Women's Champion. The division is much more wide open, and once Bayley drops her title, the face Champ will need heel challengers. Instead, she might get lost in the shuffle of a loaded RAW division.
