#1 WWE Draft Criteria: Individual/tag team star power in 2020

WWE RAW had an extra draft pick, which is why the collective star power of a particular brand can't be considered here. Besides, a show doesn't need more than 10 top-tier picks because not everyone can be the biggest star of the show.

Tag Teams will be regarded as a single draft pick, just like the 2020 Draft.

Here are WWE RAW's 5 biggest Draft picks in terms of individual/tag team star power:

  • 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt
  • Drew McIntyre
  • Alexa Bliss
  • Randy Orton
  • Asuka

Thanks to Night 2 of the Draft, the Red brand is stacked with so many stars that Superstars like Charlotte Flair and AJ Styles couldn't even make it to the above list. Alexa Bliss is up there because of her fantastic work with The Fiend, which has garnered positive reception and a lot of attention.

Here are WWE SmackDown's 5 biggest Draft picks in terms of individual/tag team star power:

Ad
  • Roman Reigns
  • Sasha Banks
  • Seth Rollins
  • Bayley
  • Rey/Dominik Mysterio

Overall, SmackDown doesn't have a roster as stacked as RAW, but the Blue brand picked the one Superstar that matters the most in terms of individual star power, Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief is the biggest Superstar from the current generation, and his stock is higher than ever thanks to his new attitude in WWE.

They often say that an opponent makes the champion relevant, but Roman Reigns and Jey Uso's feud has proved that The Tribal Chief only needs to bank on his own star power every week.

Sasha Banks might be the biggest female star to attract mainstream attention right now, due to her appearance in Season 2 of Disney's The Mandalorian, as well as her long-term storyline with Bayley.

People had no idea that Rey and Dominik Mysterio were an actual tag team, but since they were drafted together as one, Rey Mysterio's legendary credentials, as well as his father-son equation with Dominik, makes them the biggest WWE 'tag-team' in terms of star power right now.

Even as the biggest Fiend fan, this writer has to admit that The Fiend's current momentum can be partly attributed to Alexa Bliss, and vice-versa. Asuka is the top female champion on RAW, but she is slightly behind in terms of star power than most names mentioned in the above lists.

This shouldn't take anything away from the Red brand's top picks, which are excellent in their own right. But at the end of the day, it all comes down to the best of the best in terms of this category.
