Editor’s Opinion:
There is no it out to me where WWE’s priorities lie: SmackDown is clearly the ‘A’ show and Raw is the ‘B’ show. However, this is not to say that Raw will not be entertaining each week, as superstars who have been lost in the shuffle, will have the opportunity to show what they can do with more time to develop storylines.
