BOOM OR BUST: Who Should You Draft or Drop
BOOM: Buy the Hype
The Tribal Chief is still sitting at the head of the table.
Roman Reigns continues to be at the top of the mountain, and I think he'll carry that momentum all the way to WrestleMania. Reigns just survived a major challenge from LA Knight at Money in the Bank, retaining the World Heavyweight Championship in a hard-fought main event. With The 946 now entering the picture and tensions surrounding The Bloodline continuing to build, Reigns has plenty of reasons to remain a central figure in WWE's biggest stories, and that kind of positioning is exactly what you want from a cornerstone of your Draftastic roster.
Zero fear. Maximum upside.
After delivering an incredible World Heavyweight Championship match against Reigns in Mexico City, Penta has now added the men's Money in the Bank briefcase to his collection of accomplishments. He's already demonstrated that WWE is willing to put him in the ring with the biggest names on the roster, and winning the briefcase gives him a legitimate path back to the championship picture. There doesn't seem to be any slowing down, and fantasy managers should love the combination of high-profile matches, potential title opportunities, and the possibility of a cash-in that could change everything.
The Women's World Champion is back where she belongs.
Liv Morgan reclaimed the Women's World Championship at Money in the Bank, defeating Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch in a triple-threat match to regain the gold. With Crown Jewel approaching, Morgan has the opportunity to turn that victory into a meaningful title reign rather than a brief stop at the top. For Draftastic managers, a champion with multiple challengers waiting in the wings is an attractive investment, especially if her renewed rivalry with Vaquer or a showdown with Tiffany Stratton keeps her in the spotlight.
Tiffy Two-Time is ready for another championship run.
Stratton became a two-time Women's Money in the Bank winner, proving once again that WWE sees her as someone who belongs in the championship conversation. The briefcase gives her the freedom to pursue a title opportunity on her own terms, whether she announces her intentions in advance or waits for the perfect moment to strike. With Liv Morgan back on top and Chelsea Green standing right next to her, Stratton has a clear path to becoming one of the most valuable women on a Draftastic roster.
The future isn't coming. It's already here.
This one may seem like a no-brainer, but Oba Femi continues to look like a future main-event superstar who can back up the hype with results. His victory over Bronson Reed at Money in the Bank was another statement win, especially after The Vision had repeatedly targeted him in the weeks leading up to the event. If WWE continues moving Femi toward the biggest names on the roster, his combination of dominant performances and rising status makes him one of the safest long-term investments in fantasy wrestling.
The Prizefighter is fighting for his place at the top.
After returning from 17 months away with a serious neck injury, Kevin Owens is doing whatever it takes to remind everyone that he's a main-event star. Competing in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match immediately put him back in the mix with some of WWE's biggest names, even though Penta ultimately walked away with the briefcase. Owens doesn't need a guaranteed championship opportunity to be valuable: give him a heated rivalry, a high-stakes match, or a grudge against someone who crossed him, and he has the ability to turn that opportunity into a major fantasy week.
Don't let the criticism distract you from the points.
Some fans may argue that Sol Ruca's run has been mid at best, but her fantasy production and performances on premium live event cards deserve a second look. Her athleticism and ability to deliver memorable moments make her a natural fit for high-profile matches, as demonstrated by her appearance in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match. Even if WWE hasn't fully committed to pushing her as a top-tier singles star yet, managers should pay attention to what she's producing rather than getting caught up in the online debate.
The numbers are doing the talking.
Trick Williams may not get labeled the future of WWE quite as often as Oba Femi, but his fantasy point production puts him right behind Roman Reigns for the year. His presence in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match shows that WWE continues to give him opportunities to compete alongside established stars and other rising names. When a wrestler is producing at that level, fantasy managers shouldn't wait for everyone else to catch up to the hype, especially when another strong run could push him even higher up the standings.
A championship opportunity could be closer than you think.
Lash Legend is looking more dominant with every opportunity, and I think a United States Championship run could be on the horizon. Her involvement in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match gave her another chance to showcase her power and presence on a major stage, even though Tiffany Stratton ultimately secured the briefcase. If WWE continues building Legend as a legitimate threat rather than just an imposing physical presence, she could become a valuable fantasy pickup before the rest of the league catches on.
Two new names, two very different reasons to get excited.
Tatum Paxley is already making her presence felt by capturing tag team gold, giving fantasy managers a tangible reason to pay attention to her early run on the roster. Lola Vice, meanwhile, impressed in her Money in the Bank opportunity and has shown that her striking-heavy style can stand out when the stakes are high. Both wrestlers have plenty of room to grow, and getting in early on emerging talent can be the difference between finding a future star on waivers and spending valuable roster resources trying to acquire one later.
BUST: Proceed With Caution
A big return doesn't always lead to big results.
Big Cass's return has been less than spectacular, and I'm not convinced the momentum is there to change that anytime soon. A high-profile comeback can generate attention, but fantasy value ultimately depends on what happens once the bell rings and whether WWE gives the wrestler a meaningful direction. Until Cass starts collecting more significant wins or gets involved in a storyline that raises his profile, I'd rather use that roster spot on someone with a clearer path to points.
No championship, no clear direction.
Without the United States Championship, it's difficult to see where Baron Corbin goes from here. Losing the gold removes an obvious reason for WWE to keep him in prominent matches, and he now needs a new rivalry or opportunity to reestablish himself. Corbin could absolutely turn things around with the right storyline, but until that happens, fantasy managers should be wary of holding onto a wrestler whose biggest source of value may have disappeared.
The gold is gone, and now comes the real test.
Much like Corbin, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid face a difficult question now that they no longer have the tag team championships to anchor their place on the card. Without the belts, they need compelling rivalries, consistent television time, or a new path toward championship contention to maintain their fantasy relevance. I'm not saying their run is over, but until WWE gives them a reason to stand out again, I'd be hesitant to invest heavily in either wrestler.
Proceed with caution. Even when the name value is there.
Jey Uso can still deliver fantasy points, and the upcoming WarGames, combined with the feud involving The 946, could provide plenty of opportunities for him to get back into the mix. However, he doesn't feel like the same main-event force who dominated the conversation last year, and that difference matters when you're evaluating a premium roster spot. Keep an eye on his match schedule and storyline involvement, but don't pay last year's price for a wrestler who needs to prove that he can return to that level.
The WrestleMania pop was great. What's the follow-up?
Paige made a major impression with her return at WrestleMania, but the subsequent tag team run leaves questions about where WWE intends to take her next. Nostalgia and crowd reactions can create an exciting moment, yet fantasy managers need sustained opportunities rather than a single memorable appearance. Unless WWE builds toward a meaningful singles rivalry or puts her back in the championship conversation, I'd wait for a clearer direction before making a major investment.
Taking the punishment doesn't always earn the points.
Theory's current role as someone who takes bumps and pins for The Vision may help establish the faction's dominance, but it's not necessarily doing much for his fantasy value. If he's consistently being used to make other wrestlers look dangerous, he risks becoming the guy who helps advance someone else's story without getting enough victories or meaningful momentum of his own. Until Theory starts picking up wins or gets a storyline that allows him to shine, I'd be looking for better production elsewhere.
Seriously, where are they?
Both Carmelo Hayes and Ricky Saints have the talent to be major contributors, but talent alone doesn't translate into fantasy points when a wrestler isn't consistently featured. If WWE isn't giving them meaningful matches, storyline progression, or a clear place in the championship picture, it's hard to justify tying up roster spots based on what they might do someday. I'd keep them on the watchlist and be ready to pounce if their situations change, but right now I'd rather invest in wrestlers whose momentum is already moving in the right direction.
A new character needs more than a new coat of paint.
I'm not entirely sold on Lyra Valkyria's new gimmick, and without a compelling storyline, it's difficult to get excited about her fantasy prospects. A potential hair-versus-hair match with Bayley could be exactly the kind of personal, high-stakes feud that gives Lyra a fresh identity and gets fans invested in what happens next. Until that rivalry, or another meaningful program starts to take shape, I'm keeping my expectations modest and waiting for a reason to move her up my draft board.
The Draftastic Verdict
Roman Reigns remains a premium option, while Penta and Tiffany Stratton have turned their Money in the Bank victories into major opportunities for the months ahead. Liv Morgan and Oba Femi are also worth watching closely, and emerging talents like Sol Ruca, Lash Legend, Tatum Paxley, and Lola Vice could reward managers who recognize their potential early.
On the other side, wrestlers like Baron Corbin, Austin Theory, and Jey Uso aren't necessarily finished products—but their current situations demand a closer look before you commit valuable roster space. Keep monitoring the booking, follow the points, and don't hesitate to move before your competition does. In Draftastic, every match counts. The best managers know when to buy the boom, when to hold steady, and when it's time to cut their losses.
