Unless they send raw's rubbish over to smackdown then they'll win this (hopefully they send Ward back to smackdown and get the dogg on the road and send him packing to raw where his input is minimised).

Wonder who is coming up also (Almas perhaps).

My Hope is:
Seth Rollins AND Dean Ambrose (yeah both, Smackdown Dean Ambrose was about the 2nd best thing next to AJ Styles that year).
The Club (All 3 members)
The Revival (especially since AOP are on Raw, they need to get the hell of raw).
Bayley + Asuka (though Asuka is kind of smackdown anyway and Bayley needs a reset)

and i'm happy they're hitting reset on the Miz, the Miztorage is great but what had me believing in him as a proper universal title chance is 2016 Miz, that guy was a main eventer waiting to happen.

With a good roster and some good booking (maybe with some HHH backing), maybe they can bring smackdown back to that 2016 level.


Are you sure Lynch was moved? I didn't see that anywhere.


i think i saw her on raw.

Yeah and Becky Lynch was in that "Best of Both Worlds" music video thing, but neither were moved over to Raw

I guess this means Balor and Banks will stay with Raw, they‘re on a trip to South Africa right now...

Everyone major from SD was backstage on RAW. So you might have had a glimpse or cameo of some SD people even if they didn't actually move.


Bayley + Asuka (though Asuka is kind of smackdown anyway and Bayley needs a reset)


Agree about Bayley. She needs a fresh scene. She won't break though on RAW at this point.

Asuka would only have been SD if she won the title. She lost, so she's still as of this hour officially RAW. Though she DESPERATELY needs to go to Smackdown if she is going to get any shot at a title reign this year. I don't think she will be getting it on RAW at this point, and she's already run through the entire roster anyway.

Also agree on Rollins. Though one of his nicknames IS Monday Night Rollins and they would need to press a new shirt if he does move...

Smackdown is lightyears ahead of RAW in terms of in-ring ability, its not even close.

Wow first time since they started doing drafts or shaxkeups, SD wins hands down. Hardy, Joe, Cass, Asuka, Almas, the Bar. I can't believe how much better AD looks than Raw.

I will say the one thing that could prevent SD from being gold each week is the booking...like I like Cass and all but it seems like their going to push him to the moon and back...of all the talents you could now choose from on this roster...and you go with Cass...uh

Ok. Nakamura likes hitting AJ in the balls. Let’s end every show like that for about a month.

They should bring back the draft thing where they pretend it's a computerized scramble of pick like they had years ago.

If you go with the scenario where the GMs are agreeing to trades, Angle looks like an idiot considering the poo poo platter Raw got and the stars SD got

Main problem is too much talent for 2 hours.
