5 SmackDown Live stars who desperately need to move to RAW
When the brand split first happened, fans were quite elated. The WWE Universe quickly picked sides and they were either Team Red or Team Blue. SmackDown Live felt like the fresher show, and it was easier to watch as well because of its shorter two-hour long format. Of late, that has not been the case at all, really!
There are so many superstars that feel underutilized on SmackDown Live. Honestly, giving their characters a reboot and moving them to RAW would be the right way to go about things, in our opinion. Like it or not, RAW is certainly where it all happens.
Here are 5 men and women who could certainly benefit from a trade to the other brand, when the next Superstar Shake-up does happen!
#5 Rusev
Rusev has become the darling of the Internet Wrestling Community with his natural charisma, innate sense of humour, incredible wrestling skills and general likeability. Much like the case was with Daniel Bryan, the fans took it upon themselves to get this guy over when the creative team faltered.
'Rusev Day' is such a popular concept that even fans outside WWE chant for it. Somehow, this hasn't translated into a push on SmackDown Live. Does Rusev even have a real program for WrestleMania 34, really?
In our opinion, Rusev will fare much better on RAW which is a brand that focuses far more on the sports-entertainment aspect of things, as compared to mere in-ring talent. Rusev can also mix it up with superstars such as Elias and Braun Strowman, and spin some comedic gold on RAW.
While SmackDown Live may be dubbed the 'land of opportunity', we believe Rusev will get far more opportunities on RAW instead.
