#4 Sheamus (WWE Draft 2016)
Trending
Seven months after losing the WWE Championship to Roman Reigns, Sheamus was drafted as the 30th overall pick by RAW in the 2016 WWE Draft.
Had the Irishman been picked one spot lower, his draft position would have been revealed on the WWE Network instead of live television.

In 2021, Sheamus opened up about his genuine frustrations with his 2016 draft placing. He said in a WWE 24 documentary that he did not enjoy his job at the time and he was ready to quit.
“I’m thinking to myself like, ‘How have I gone from ‘The Guy’ to the last pick of the draft?’ I was like, ‘This is a serious fall from grace.’ I was so angry, man, I was ready… I kind of felt like ready to walk [out]. I really did. I felt like, ‘What am I doing? I’m not enjoying this anymore,’” Sheamus said.
Fortunately, Sheamus’ fortunes turned around shortly after the 2016 draft. He formed a successful tag team with Cesaro, known as The Bar, and they went on to become five-time Tag Team Champions.
Sheamus added that his partnership with Cesaro was a “big turning point” in his career. He said the Swiss star “became a brother” and helped him enjoy his role in WWE again.
