The WWE Draft will continue this Monday, and the second half of the Draft Pool will become available. Here, we look at the most valuable potential selections eligible on Raw.

When WWE revealed the official rules for the WWE Draft, they also announced WWE Draft Pools which split the roster in two with certain superstars only eligible on one of the two draft days. Unfortunately, we later found out they also gave away the draft order on SmackDown via that list.

It was a glaring mistake by WWE, and one they seemingly struggled to remedy. They nonsensically split Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross into two separate picks, despite both still being drafted to Raw. Heavy Machinery was also moved from the WWE Draft Pool for Raw to SmackDown’s, as they got drafted last night despite not being reported as eligible by WWE.

Despite all of their mistakes along the way, we still have a WWE Draft Pool set as the WWE Draft continues on Raw. The following superstars are currently shown as eligible for Raw, unless WWE changes their pool again.

Draft-eligible during Raw: Aleister Black, Ali, Andrade, AOP (Akam & Rezar), Apollo Crews, Bayley, WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, Buddy Murphy, Carmella, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, Cedric Alexander, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder, Dana Brooke, Daniel Bryan, Drake Maverick, Raw Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode, Elias, Erick Rowan, Fire & Desire (Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville), King Corbin, Jinder Mahal, Liv Morgan, Luke Harper, Mojo Rawley, The Miz, No Way José, Rey Mysterio, R-Truth, Rusev, Samoa Joe, Universal Champion Seth Rollins, Sarah Logan, Shelton Benjamin, Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura (with Sami Zayn), The IIconics (Billie Kay & Peyton Royce), WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane), The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E & Xavier Woods), Titus O’Neil.

Now, if WWE fails to change plans and leaves the order revealed via their initial WWE Draft Pool, the top ten selections would be as follows: Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, Charlotte Flair, Titus O’Neil, Shinsuke Nakamura (with Sami Zayn), Aleister Black, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods), Daniel Bryan, Bayley, and Luke Harper.

Considering WWE’s adherence to the 3:2 ratio of superstars between the two brands, I fully expect Raw to end up with the first pick. In order to earn that pick, Becky Lynch will have to defeat Sasha Banks at the beginning of the night.

If things went exactly as expected, you would see Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, Shinsuke Nakamura (with Sami Zayn), Aleister Black, Daniel Bryan, and Luke Harper to Raw while Brock Lesnar, Titus O’Neil, The New Day, and Bayley would be on SmackDown.

It’s highly unlikely that WWE continues to follow that exact pattern, but it’s worth mentioning just in case they do. While I believe some of the most valuable selection exist in that hypothetical group, my top ten most valuable eligible superstars on Raw turned out a bit different.
