I can see a legitimate worthy caveat here.
If the World Champion isn't the #1 pick, then it cheapens the title.
Steph runs Raw and thus gets the first pick. Why Raw gets the first pick automatically, I dunno. But that's a rant for a podcast.
Maybe Steph wanted Seth to win so she could draft him first and lay claim to the World Champion.
Didn't they do a similar thing in the first Draft? Steph got the Undisputed Champion (Lesnar at the time) for her show?
