#2. Could Becky Lynch replace Roman Reigns as SmackDown’s top heel?

The first night of the 2019 WWE Draft saw Becky Lynch (RAW) and Roman Reigns (SmackDown) chosen as the first and second draft picks, respectively. Two years on, it would not be surprising if both superstars feature in the top two spots again if another WWE Draft occurs in October.

Before the 2019 WWE Draft, RAW was known as WWE’s number one weekly show. Nowadays, SmackDown is viewed by the majority of fans as WWE’s most entertaining show, hence why it usually outperforms RAW in the television ratings.

RAW desperately needs more star power if its ratings and overall product is going to improve. To help do that, WWE will almost certainly move some top names from SmackDown to RAW in the next round of roster changes.

Roman Reigns is undoubtedly the biggest full-time star in WWE right now. Along with Becky Lynch, Reigns frequently appeared on RAW and SmackDown in 2019 as WWE attempted to draw more eyes to both shows.

Although fans would likely prefer Reigns to stay on SmackDown, his presence on RAW would definitely make the show feel must-see once again. It would also open up a spot for another superstar (i.e. Becky Lynch) to emerge as SmackDown’s top heel.
