*2 - Becky Lynch will be such a big focal point as the top babyface on SmackDown and there isn't enough room for her, Asuka, Carmella and others to get the right attention. *1 - I mentioned above that Flair swaps with Lynch, so Andrade comes with her and so does Vega. in the B-tier, Hawkins & Ryder and The Ascension in the C-tier and, naturally, some other sporadic teams like Ziggler/Roode and maybe Black/Ricochet and Lucha House Party filling in the blanks. Tag teams should be ranked separately and would be AOP and Viking Raiders on top, The Street Profits, Usos and O.C. Raw's heels, in order, would be: Bray Wyatt, Drew McIntyre, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles | King Baron Corbin, Cesaro, Robert Roode, Elias, Dolph Ziggler | EC3, Mojo Rawley, Eric Young Going forward, Raw's babyfaces would be, in order: Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, The Miz | Aleister Black, Ricochet, Cedric Alexander | Zack Ryder, No Way Jose, Curt Hawkins, Titus O'Neil, Heath Slater *5 - The Street Profits practically are on Raw already. SmackDown will also be more of a sports-oriented brand and he's more of a sports entertainment character that works with the Raw vibe. He's been shafted when it comes to screen time on the 2-hour SmackDown. *4 - There's more time on Raw, which allows him to actually do his act. Plus, Rollins will have already feuded with all the big heels (Styles, Corbin, Wyatt, McIntyre, Joe) so there's no need for him to stay. *2 - That's also why Seth Rollins is moving to SmackDown to be with Becky Lynch, which means a big name like Roman Reigns has to balance him out. That means Andrade has to go with Flair, so he brings along Zelina Vega, which means Aleister Black has to go with her. *1 - I'm swapping Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. TL DR = Here is how I think WWE should balance the rosters in order to have the most success from now until April 2020, with a little explanation for why I made these moves if someone changed. But what this will do is examine what I think WWE should do with the various superstars. I'll have written up various predictions posts on what I think WWE will do with this draft ahead of time, too. This was WWE's answer to the problem of not having a proper balance and wanting to feature more of the big stars on both brands, rather than building the ones currently on the roster up to a point where fans could get invested in people not named Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns, etc.Īfter Hell in a Cell, the Smack Talk crew will be holding a Mock Draft of our own, where we'll pick superstars as if we were the general managers of three different brands, but I wanted to do something else here, too. It turned into a month of random trades that were pretty much immediately thrown out as irrelevant with the Wild Card rule put in place. Originally, that was supposed to be a two-night affair. Next week will be the 2019 WWE Draft, wherein Raw and SmackDown will trade superstars in order to shuffle the deck and better position the company going forward into WrestleMania season in an attempt to offset some of the problems created from the lackluster Superstar Shake-up earlier this year.
