On Draft Night Two, Sami Zayn, the current Intercontinental Champion was a part of the draft pool but unfortunately, he wasn't in the first round when it came to selection. Neither was he in the second or the third round of selections on Draft Night 2 and was the 17th selection overall.
For Sami Zayn to be so very low on the totem pole on Draft Night Two is an insult to the legacy of the Intercontinental Championship and its rich and storied legacy, something that has been a part of so many incredible WWE moments. Even The Great Liberator wasn't happy with what had transpired on Night Two of the WWE Draft.

Imagine having the undisputed Intercontinental Champion and perhaps the most complete pro wrestler on earth in the prime of his career available to you & letting him slip into the 4th round. Worst part is I’m not even surprised. This is how little honesty & integrity are valued.
How discouraging must it be for Sami Zayn, who is supposed to be one of the main Champions in WWE, but is so blatantly disrespected when it comes to his draft position.
Almost every other selection on WWE Draft Night Two was fine, but this was one that did not just irk us at Sportskeeda, but almost everyone on social media as well.
