#2 and #1 WWE Draft 2019 vs. 2020: Andrade & Zelina Vega dropped 31+ places
WWE Draft 2019: Andrade & Zelina Vega (Night Two, WWE RAW - #5 pick)
With all due respect to Andrade and Zelina Vega, their position at #5 in the 2019 WWE Draft seemed very high at the time.
The second Draft Pool in 2019 was not as strong as the first night, but it was still alarming that they were chosen ahead of Daniel Bryan, the Women’s Tag Team Champions (The Kabuki Warriors), the SmackDown Women’s Champion (Bayley), and the Intercontinental Champion (Shinsuke Nakamura).
WWE Draft 2020: Andrade (Night Two, undrafted - #40* pick)
In one of the biggest shocks of this year’s Draft, Andrade did not even get drafted as part of the second Draft Pool.
As of the time of writing, the former WWE United States Champion is a free agent.
Four undrafted Superstars were drafted after WWE RAW went off the air, taking the total number of picks from the second Draft Pool up to 39. That means Andrade is going to be the #40 pick, at best, when he joins his next brand.
WWE Draft 2020: Zelina Vega (Night Two, WWE SmackDown - #36* pick)
The second night of the 2020 Draft featured lots of late female draft picks, including Peyton Royce (#28), Lana (#31), Natalya (#32), and The Riott Squad (#34).
Zelina Vega’s move to WWE SmackDown was announced on social media after RAW, which means she has dropped at least 31 places from 2019.
