5 RAW Superstars who should move to SmackDown

WWWE is divided into two shows, Raw and SmackDown. I feel that this brand split is much better than before when all the wrestlers were not exclusive to their brands because now, more wrestlers get to show their talent to the world. While still there are situations where a particular star does not get to feature regularly, but this problem has improved significantly.<p>
What's in store for these wrestlers?

WWE is divided into two shows, Raw and SmackDown. I feel that this brand split is much better than before when all the wrestlers were not exclusive to their brands because now, more wrestlers get to show their talent to the world. While still there are situations where a particular star does not get to feature regularly, but this problem has improved significantly.

However, there are situations when you look at a particular wrestler and could not help but wonder about where he would stand if he was in the different brand. Some wrestlers are not getting the treatment that they deserve in their respective brand. It may be because there are better talents than them on the show already or the management has lost faith in them. But, this was not the situation when he was in the different show.

Let's look at such wrestlers who would be better off in another brand.


#5 Bobby Roode

It'sn
It's not so Glorious anymore!

Bobby Roode made his main roster debut in August 2017, defeating Aiden English in a singles match. Even when he was in NXT, fans knew he was in for something big. His main roster career started on the right track as well with him having great matches with Ziggler and Orton. Within months he was the United States Champion. He was on his way to becoming one of the known faces of WWE.

But, everything changed when he was drafted to Raw. He is mainly used as an upper mid-carder now in Raw just to fill the slots. He is now involved in an impassive tag with Chad Gable which is going nowhere. He was a lot better in SmackDown as there at least he was in the US Title picture. Now, in Raw, he is far away from the Intercontinental championship and may not get an opportunity in the near future as well.

#4 SAnitY

Where did they go wrong?

SAnitY was part of NXT call-ups this year. When they were in developmental, NXT fans were eagerly waiting for them to make their debut in the main roster. However, like many NXT call-ups this year, they also got lost in the mix among other wrestlers.

All the three wrestlers who are part of the team can be great wrestlers individually too, then imagine what they can do as a team if booked properly. WWE should have booked them the way they booked Shield in their initial run.

Raw's tag team division is pretty thin at the moment. Current Raw tag team champion Ziggler and McIntyre may not be a long-term prospect as they may split soon and except them, there are not many great teams at the moment who can do justice to the title. So, not only will it prove beneficial for SAnitY, but it will be an exceptional prospect for Raw's tag team division as well.

#3 Finn Balor

Where is
Where is Finn Balor headed?

Finn Balor has been the part of Raw since making his main roster debut back in 2016. He too started his career on the right track by becoming the first Universal Champion. He then got injured after that and has not been the same since. Since his return in 2017, he is stuck in the mid-card. He did get an opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship around Wrestlemania 34, but he could not capture the title.

Right now he is just there in Raw as another Superstar without any future storyline. He deserves much more that. If WWE decided to shift him to SmackDown, he can again become a main-eventer. Even SmackDown does not have a good top babyface other than AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan, so they can really use Balor. I am sure he will be thrown directly to the main title picture within weeks.

#2 Andrade Cien Almas

Promi
Promising future?

Prior to signing with WWE, Almas was a huge name in the Mexican Lucha Libre scene. He won dozens of championships with top promotions like CMLL. He was ready for WWE to even before coming to WWE. It was a matter of months before he became NXT champion after signing with WWE.

The same was expected in the main roster as well. After making his main roster debut in May this year, he had a forgettable feud with Sin Cara and Rusev. After that, he had amazing back to back matches with Daniel Bryan but their feud did not go anywhere.

Till now, he has not been part of any pay-per-view main card and is not part of any on-going storyline either. Maybe, it is because WWE is focusing on AJ Styles and Samoa Joe; Miz and Bryan's story at the moment. Raw is already finding it difficult to fill the 3 hours running time effectively. So, they can use him and he can have great feuds with Seth Rollin and Finn Balor there.

#1 Kevin Owens

Af
After all, when will Owens fight?

In 2017, he was one of the best heels of the company. He was brilliant with the mic and his ring work was exceptional. He was even having a good 2018 till WrestleMania 34, but it was just downhill from there after he was transferred to Raw.

The image he built of himself as a great heel and wrestler did not receive justice Raw. At the moment, he is spending most of his time running away from Braun Strowman. He is being as a coward.

He should be transferred back to SmackDown because that was the show, which treated his talent well and he also gave the return. He was at his best when he was in SmackDown and was having good matches consistently along with Sami Zayn.
