According to various wrestling related news oulets (cagesideseats one of them), it appears that WWE are rather unhappy with how the rosters formed after the draft and more specifically with how Smackdown came out looking. In other words, they feel that the Smackdown roster is not as strong as it should be (yeah, no shit Sherlock) and are looking to shuffle the rosters once again.
Well, this basically comes back to one of my first comments following the night of the draft, when I noted how sloppy of a job they did and how rushed and weak it looked. It was rather obvious that WWE failed to think the draft through despite having all the time in the world to do so but I guess...better late then never, right?
Now, obviously we won't be having another draft again so I think it's safe to assume that both Commisioners of RAW and Smackdown along with their respective GM's will probably work out some trades in order to make this happen, which would certainly make for an interesting storyline as far as how they present them.
Some of the names already mentioned? First and foremost, Kevin Owens, who is actually the top name rumored to be headed to Smackdown, as well as Cesaro, Paige and even Sami Zayn, while Randy Orton is considered the top candidate to switch brands and move to RAW.
In my view, if this indeed turns out to be the case, I feel it would be a good trade to do. Orton is an established guy so if Smackdown were to trade one of their top guys, it only makes sense that they get a couple of good midcarders at least in return and both KO and Cesaro would be great fits, both being upcoming stars and landing on a show that from the very beginning has promised opportunity for those who deserve it.
As far as Paige is concerned, I too feel that she would be better off at Smackdown. She would definetely boost the women's division on the blue brand, not to mention she'd be reunited with ADR so...everybody wins. If it were up to me, I'd trade Paige for Carmella and have Carmella go to RAW and rejoin Enzo and Cass cause it obviously is not working right now with her at Smackdown; crowd has been absolutely dead in all of her appearances on Smackdown, in case you hadn't noticed already...
Anyway, this is an interesting story so keen to see how it develops, most likely after Summerslam...Thoughts?
