I think Smackdown will likely get...
Kevin Owens Braun Strowman Sami Zayn The New Day Sheamus & Caesaro Emma Charlotte Sasha I really don't want Roma to go to Smackdown because I want to see the Shield back together at some point. I do want Finn to go but I'm thinking that he and Bray are kind of made for each other so he will stay on Raw. Braun vs Randy, Braun vs AJ, Braun vs Shinske, Braun vs Cena, Braun vs Corbin... all would be great. Owens and Corbin, Owens and Orton, Owens and Shinske, Owens and AJ.... awesome... New Day vs Alpha Males would be great, throw in the Uso's for some wild triple threat programs all summer... OH how about Harper vs Owens? |

Now that I think of it... They draft Bray to Raw.... but put the WWE Championship match on the Raw PPV because they don't have Brock on Payback.
Bray beats Orton, and takes the WWE Championship to Raw. Lesnar gets traded to Smackdown! tomorrow night. |

If these really are trades I could see Ambrose for Owens which really doesn't seem like a move Bryan would make but you also wouldn't trade away your mid card champion without getting the other. Alexa for Charlotte which is a fair deal and maybe a steal for Smackdown. Miz and Maryese for Rusev and Lana is pretty easy and explainable. Bray Wyatt doesn't make sense being in the main event but maybe Smackdown gets Braun in return who is now Lesnar's biggest threat with Reigns out.

It'll probably happen... but at the same time it makes 0 sense for Smackdown to allow their title to be defended on a Raw PPV.
It also makes no sense for Raw to trade away their champion without getting the other championship in return. |

Braun Strowman is the biggest face in WWE history since Bruno Sammartino.

Going to hold off on judging until they announce who is on Smackdown, but surprised so many of their top stars went to RAW.
Unless some big stars end of on Smackdown, it would appear they've decided to make RAW the official A-Show. If it is the case (still a big if) then I wonder if it is a reaction to recent RAW ratings? |

SmackDown is not without star power in Cena, Orton, Styles, and Namakura - the problem is few of those guys are going to be wrestling week in, week out.
Cena despite what he's said in his promos is clearly a part timer transitioning to the next stage of his life. He'll be back for SummerSlam, the Rumble, etc. but he's gonna have big gaps where he's gone. Orton by design didn't work all that many matches during the Wyatt Family angle. Now he's champ he'll likely feature a lot more but apparently he doesn't work live events either. Styles has gone weeks at a time between televised matches in part to try to lessen his workload/heal nagging injuries as he's closing in on 40 And it remains to be seen how Nakamura will be booked but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they had him wrestle on SmackDown sparingly to try to increase the attraction level for his PPV matches So they almost have to get guys like Owens and Zayn in there to be the "workhorses" who can be booked every week without issue. |

They really do need some workhorses on the brand now.
Owens, Zayn, New Day and Cesaro/Sheamus would be a nice haul for them. Getting in some workers and two potential upper carders once Cesaro/Sheamus split |

Byron Saxton/Tom Phillips, if they fire JBL, might "Stress Me Out" too much

Rollins debuted a new finisher during the post-RAW tag match against Owens and Joe.

• Miz & Maryse to Raw was a big loss to SmackDown. Miz has been top-notch since the split and I think now, he'll be chasing the Intercontinental Championship and whenever Lesnar loses the Universal Championship, Miz will challenge the new champion for it.
Maybe Triple H & Co. have seen how great Miz has been recently and want to give him a World Title run but they got cold feet about giving him another run as WWE Champion (for some reason) so they just thought "Fuck it, we'll give him a run as Universal Champion". • Ambrose on Raw just reeks of "Shield Reunion". Once Reigns returns and settles things with Strowman, I can see The Shield eventually getting back together. Maybe they'll get together and challenge Strowman to a 3-on-1 Handicap Match? • My initial reaction to seeing Curt Hawkins on Raw was one of sheer delight. I thought to myself "Maybe this is the beginning of something? A push of some sort". Then Big Show's music hits and I think "Nope, it's just the same old shit" and I was right. It just left me asking "Why?". What good did that segment do? Big Show is old, he's retiring. What good did him punching a dude in the face do for him? I have to agree with Outsider. Quote:
The only thing I really want to happen now is Perkins to debut some new heel music. Either your usual type of heel music, or some kindof 16-bit sounding boss theme, like Bowser or a castle level. • With Charlotte losing clean to Nia Jax, I can really see Charlotte heading to SmackDown. • Bray going to Raw was a big surprise. After such a long time of me not caring about Bray and giving up on him, I was actually starting to get into him after the brand split and now he's moved to Raw. I just worry a tiny bit about him working with Bálor, as it's quite obvious we're going to get a lot of cheesy "monsters & demons" stuff going on, with Bálor coming out dressing up in his discount Venom attire when the day comes that we get Bálor vs Wyatt. • Strowman's attack on Reigns was a thing of beauty. • I completely forgot all about The Hardys and this "DELETE DELETE DELETE!" bullshit really needs to end. It's reaching Enzo levels of annoying. • Bliss is on Raw. Even though I knew it would happen, it still sucks. Mickie James however, was a surprise. I really wasn't expecting her to move. • Overall, I feel that SmackDown got bent over and savaged hard. If I had to guess who will be going to SmackDown, I'd guess: Charlotte Curtis Axel Dana Brooke Sheamus & Cesaro or Enzo & Cass Big Show And I get the feeling a few NXT guys will get called up too. |
