RAW & SmackDown
CSR’s Justin LaBar and Josh Isenberg react to SmackDown going live and the roster being split. They give their five talents who should be on RAW and five on SmackDown to build around with the reasoning. Here’s a sample of the conversation:
Josh Isenberg:
I think Dean Ambrose fits perfectly on SmackDown. He could absolutely thrive on SmackDown, he’s bottled down on RAW. He’s the 6th or 7th most important on RAW. When I care to see Charlotte vs Natalya more than Dean Ambrose on a three hour RAW, that’s a problem.
Justin LaBar:
When Samoa Joe came to NXT I was adamant saying he might never go to RAW or SmackDown, not because he wasn’t capable or worthy but eh didn’t need to. He’s what the NXT brand symbolizes. But now they need to go deeper in roster on RAW and SmackDown Samoa Joe would be a great fit for RAW. But he’s too similar in my mind with the unorthodox look and physicality to Kevin Owens so keep them on separate shows. Of course I already have Owens moved over to SmackDown.
