WWE Raw and SmackDown are about to be shaken today, as the company will change the landscape of WWE by bringing some wrestlers from SmackDown over to Raw, while they will also move some of the most promising ones to the blue brand.
Every time the shake-up or draft happens, the landscape of the company changes, as new feuds, storylines, and promos take center stage. If you remember, there was a time when John Cena was an up and coming wrestler, and WWE decided to switch him from SmackDown to Raw.
The rest, as they say, is history, because the Leader of Cenation is now a 16-time world champion, and also has a Hall Of Fame worthy career.
This isn't the only reason why I feel the company should shake things up keeping SmackDown in mind because the landscape is different than what it used to be in 2005.
So without further ado, let's look at the reasons why this shake-up should happen keeping SmackDown in mind.
#3 More jobbers, less star power
Make no mistake about it, as SmackDown has AJ Styles and Randy Orton as well as Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston in its roster. While the current WWE Champion rose to prominence due to an injury to Mustafa Ali, the show has more jobbers on it.
From Rusev to Shinsuke Nakamura and Naomi to Asuka, the company hasn't portrayed any superstar well, and so most of them are considered jobbers. This isn't the first time you have heard about jobbers on the blue brand, and neither would this be the last, but the company hasn't pushed wrestlers to create a niche.
This is why every move on Raw should be made in a manner that benefits SmackDown in the long run.
#2 Fox deal
SmackDown Live has made a deal with Fox Sports so that the company can have better programming, and also great content. However, Fox is reportedly interested in Ronda Rousey being a part of the SmackDown roster, and the rumor mill has hinted the same as well.
It shouldn't come as a shock if the company decides to move Ronda Rousey over to SmackDown, as despite being absent from WWE TV due to injury, she will still be a big game changer for the company and their deal with Fox Sports.
This should make things interesting, and in case she isn't a part of the superstars announced today, you can expect her name announced tomorrow.
A feud with Becky Lynch will be great for all, because Ronda and The Man have the star power to draw ratings and money to the company, and that is all that matters. This is already looking great, but will only be worth the time if the company builds this storyline well.
#1 Injured superstars
Pro Wrestling and injury go hand in hand because the work done by the wrestlers is of an extreme nature. Despite the fact that the company has very clear and effective measures in place to take care of the wrestlers, injuries can still happen.
The list of wrestlers injured right now added another name to its long line, as the former WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan, recently suffered an injury during his WWE Championship match with Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35.
As shocking as it sounds, having a host of superstars as the part of the blue brand will be beneficial for the company in the long run, and the company wouldn't want injuries to take away the fun from their programming.
