Raw commissioner Stephanie McMahon and general manager Mick Foley had the first pick and chose Seth Rollins, while SmackDown bosses Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan chose WWE champion Dean Ambrose with their first selection.
Finn Balor will soon make his much-anticipated main roster debut after he was chosen by Raw with their third pick. American Alpha, Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, Mojo Rawley, and Carmella were the other selections made from the NXT roster.
