DILLSTER'S BIG BOARD: Road to SummerSlam - The Final Rounds
Final Rounds = League Winners (Or Waiver Wire Chaos)
This is where your draft gets real.
By the time you hit the final three rounds, your core is locked in. You’ve got your franchise cornerstone, your starting lineup is set, and your bench has some shape. Now this is all about value hunting, upside swings, and staying one step ahead of the waiver wire.
Let’s be honest, most of these names won’t last long on your roster. These are your short-term plays, your “ride the hot hand” picks, your revolving door players you’ll flip the second someone new shows up on a Raw or SmackDown match card. But buried in this range are difference-makers. Players who can stick all season and quietly win you weeks.
If you draft right here, this is how you separate from the pack.
Pick #31: Lash Legend
Lash Legend is cooking right now.
She’s sitting 10th in scoring in 2026 and coming off a monster Royal Rumble where she dropped 29 points, second only to Liv Morgan. That’s not a fluke, that’s momentum. Add in the fact she’s holding gold as one half of the tag champs, and you’ve got consistent point production built in.
WrestleMania will decide a lot, but the bigger story is that WWE is clearly invested in her. Lash isn’t just a depth piece, she’s flirting with must-start territory.
Pick #32: Damian Priest
Priest is one of those guys that always feels one step away from breaking out again.
Yeah, the Aleister Black feud hasn’t exactly set the world on fire, but then came the R-Truth pairing, which had no business working as well as it does. Yet somehow it’s gold.
The tag title win was unexpected, the chemistry is real, and Priest playing the straight man to Truth’s chaos is clicking. Add in the fact he’s a Triple H guy, and you know he’s always lurking as a plug-and-play main eventer.
This is value with upside.
#33: Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa should be a problem every single week, but right now he’s just solid.
The talent is there. The mic work is underrated. But leading a mid-tier faction and spinning wheels in a feud that isn’t landing hurts his ceiling. The truth is Solo was at his best when he showed personality, especially in that Jacob program.
Let him be entertaining again and this pick looks like a steal. Until then, he’s a good value with higher potential than most players left on the board.
Pick #34: Lyra Valkyria
Lyra is the definition of untapped upside.
She’s already 22nd in all-time points and was the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Champion. The tools are obvious, but she’s still figuring it out week to week. Right now, she’s paired with Bayley, and while that’s boosting her visibility, it feels like Bayley is doing most of the heavy lifting.
That said, if they walk out of WrestleMania with tag gold, this pick becomes an absolute steal.
Pick #35: Nia Jax
Nia Jax went from dominant force to background threat real quick.
After owning 2024, she’s taken a step back behind newer, more athletic champions, but don’t get it twisted, she’s still dangerous. And more importantly, she’s still holding gold alongside Lash Legend.
Former world champ. Current tag champ. Late-round value.
If those belts stick around, so does her relevance.
Pick #36: AJ Lee
This might be the most fascinating pick in the entire draft.
AJ Lee has wrestled four matches in 11 years and won all four. She’s averaging 14.5 fantasy points per match, second only to Roman Reigns. That’s absurd.
But here’s the gamble. Is she actually back, or is this a short-term nostalgia run?
Her WrestleMania match with Becky Lynch is everything. If she wins, she skyrockets. If she loses, you’re left holding a part-time asset. This is the definition of boom or bust.
Pick #37: Austin Theory
Austin Theory continues to be one of the biggest what-if players in WWE.
We’ve seen the highs. We’ve seen the disappearing act. Right now, he’s trending back up with tag gold alongside Logan Paul and appears to be back in favor.
The look is there. The in-ring work is there. The personality is still loading.
If it clicks, this is a steal. If not, you’ve seen this movie before.
Pick #38: Jimmy Uso
Jimmy Uso is stuck in the worst spot in wrestling, standing next to someone better.
Jey has clearly separated himself, and with another singles run likely coming, Jimmy’s ceiling feels capped. On his own, he’s been fine. Nothing more, nothing less.
But here’s the saving grace, volume.
He’s on TV constantly and racks up matches, which matters in fantasy. He won’t win you weeks, but he won’t disappear either.
Pick #39: Finn Balor
Finn Balor is at a crossroads.
He’s breaking away from Judgment Day, which should be a good thing, but what’s next is the problem. The direction isn’t clear, and the production hasn’t been there.
The talent is undeniable. The results are not.
This is a classic late-round hope the reset works pick.
Pick #40: Ilja Dragunov
Dragunov brings chaos every time he steps in the ring.
His U.S. Title run delivered big thanks to the open challenge format, and his matches with Melo have been bangers. But right now, the midcard is crowded, and he feels like the odd man out.
Sami. Trick. Melo. There’s only so much room.
The talent is elite, but the opportunity might not be.
Pick #41: Kiana James
Kiana James came out of nowhere and made people pay attention.
Strong Royal Rumble showing. Surprise Elimination Chamber win. Took out Alexa Bliss. That’s not luck, that’s a statement.
Since then, things have cooled off a bit, but the upside is obvious. She’s one booking decision away from becoming a weekly factor.
This is a stash-and-watch pick with legit breakout potential.
Pick #42: R-Truth
Let’s keep this simple.
If R-Truth has the belts, you want him.
If he loses the belts, you don’t.
He’s still entertaining, still productive, and somehow still going at 54 years old. But once that title safety net is gone, so is the fantasy value.
Ride it while it lasts.
Pick #43: Roxanne Perez
Roxanne Perez got thrown into the deep end and didn’t drown.
Early Elimination Chamber appearance, consistent booking, and plenty of reps against top-tier talent. The problem is the results haven’t followed. 11 wins in 38 matches isn’t moving the needle.
But volume matters, and she gets it.
In the final round, that’s enough to justify the pick.
Pick #44: Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is the ultimate gamble.
When he shows up, he delivers massive points. The problem is he barely shows up.
Three matches since returning. That’s it.
But if he’s lining up for a major program, especially something like a clash with Gunther, you’re looking at huge payoff potential. You just need patience and a strong enough roster to stash him.
Pick #45: Bayley
Bayley might be the most reliable last round pick on the board.
She’s not flashy at this stage, but she’s productive, experienced, and suddenly seeing more screen time again. Pairing with Lyra Valkyria gives her a real shot at tag gold, and if that happens, she instantly outperforms this spot.
More likely, she’s a high-quality rotation piece.
And even that has value this late.
