#5 Signs of overstacking one roster

Did they suffer more?
Did they suffer more?

When we said that RAW could suffer, here is why. Firstly, the Executives of USA Network and FOX had direct control over the Draft and had a say as to which superstar goes where. The different feel of it was given with the "WAR Room" featuring the executives, giving it a very legitimate sports-like feel.

From the look of things, it seems as though FOX has won this for now. While there's still an entire episode to change it around, WWE is likely going to overstack one roster and that will be SmackDown.

It makes sense financially because FOX is paying way more, but we should remember that we now have a roster on SmackDown that already features Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, Sasha Banks and The Revival. In all likeliness, Brock Lesnar will be on SmackDown since Rollins is still the Universal Champion and it wouldn't make sense to have Rollins and Reigns on the same brand anymore.

The overstacking of one roster may be detrimental to SmackDown and RAW, more so the latter.
