It's not often people get to see the WWE Draft picks before they announced, but a startling trend may have revealed who goes to which show.
Before the WWE Draft began, WWE released draft pools to reveal which wrestlers are eligible to be drafted on which night. Take a look at the first 10 people that were named eligible to be drafted during SmackDown:
- Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch
- Roman Reigns
- The O.C. (United States Champion AJ Styles, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson)
- "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
- Drew McIntyre
- Randy Orton
- Sasha Banks
- Ricochet
- Braun Strowman
- Bobby Lashley
So far the draft has played out exactly as it is listed on the eligible pool they posted.

If Orton, Banks, Ricochet, Braun, Lashley are the next five then, uhhhh, someone fucked up
The one thing they all have in common is the fact that they were selected in the order that they were shown on WWE.com. Quite the coincidence that the first 10 people/stable named in the draft pool just so happened to be the first 10 people/stables to also be drafted.
Now if the pattern continues as such, here is what the next 10 draft picks should look like:
- Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross (Raw)
- Lacey Evans (SmackDown)
- The Viking Raiders (Raw)
- SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Revival (SmackDown)
- Natalya (Raw)
- The Street Profits (Raw)
- Lucha House Party (SmackDown)
- Cesaro (Raw)
- Kevin Owens (SmackDown)
- Humberto Carrillo (Raw)
