Even Raw’s Top Stars Want to Be on SmackDown

Ever since the brand split, the gulf in quality between Raw and SmackDown has been absurd, and there are a lot of reasons why. Vince McMahon is still the ultimate decision-maker behind both shows, but some combination of top talent, strong writing, and less exposure has allowed SmackDown to run away with the latter half of 2016.

That’s never been more evident than it was this week. Raw had their weakest week in some time, with a mediocre show that did little to advance anyone not named Braun Strowman. Meanwhile, SmackDown put on a miniature pay-per-view, and while the blue brand can’t do that every week they managed to make a free TV better than last Sunday’s Raw PPV, Roadblock.

Various Raw superstars have teased wanting to move to SmackDown, both in storyline and out of it, but they’ve generally been guys who haven’t been regularly in the main event.

But now, even Seth Rollins wants to be at the blue show. He tweeted this after SmackDown’s excellent show last night.

Tease for a SmackDown move? Well, maybe not. Remember, Seth is currently in a one-sided feud with Triple H, calling out the Game on a weekly basis but to no avail. Triple H made public note of his presence at SmackDown, congratulating his NXT protegees, American Alpha, on their Tag Team Championship victory.

Either way, we’d love to see Seth on SmackDown. Can you imagine the singles match between him and AJ? Let us know what you think in the comments below, or over on Facebook!
