5 Things you didn't know about the 2016 WWE Draft

Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley drafted the roster for Monday Night Raw.

Brock Lesnar No. 1 Pick

Brock Lesnar is always a hot topic among wrestling fans.

One of the most prevalent ways the WWE fans get hyped up for a brand extension draft is predicting where each talent will go, and Brock Lesnar was no different. While his real-world skill and dominance make him No. 1 material, his light schedule would make the creative team second guess.

Still, the rumor is that the Beast Incarnate was all set to be the No. 1 pick, especially once he brought attention to the WWE with his victory over Mark Hunt at UFC 200. That all changed, of course, when he tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug, and Seth Rollins became Raw’s top pick instead.
