As mentioned in the previous point, Bruce Prichard, who was appointed as Executive Director of SmackDown last October, following the dismissal of Eric Bischoff, has done a good job at the helm of affairs of SmackDown. This could be a major reason why he was given the role that Paul Heyman has been doing on RAW as well. SmackDown has garnered more viewership over RAW in the last few months, which puts Prichard in a better position than Paul Heyman in the eyes of Vince McMahon.

The Blue brand has put out some interesting storylines, which include the Mandy Rose-Otis romantic angle, which has been a hit among fans, as well as Braun Strowman's Universal title run, and decent tag team matches.

Prichard could replicate that success over on RAW, and use newer ideas and storylines, while also giving some Superstars a new lease of life on RAW. The Red brand desperately needs some freshness added to it to bring viewers back to the brand which Paul Heyman was struggling to do.

Prichard could even bring some SmackDown Superstars who have been underused on the Blue brand over to RAW to give them new opportunities and try to up the ratings to a respectable level.
