Dolph Ziggler – RAW
Only time will tell if Dolph will actually benefit from the Brand split. Dolph has the total package, but doesn’t appear to be a favorite of management. Unfortunately, he might be better served going the route of Wade Barrett or Cody Rhodes.
Apollo Crews- Smackdown
Youth and more youth. Infiltrate Smackdown with former NXT standouts. Apollo is like Corbin, very lost in the shuffle of things. I can easily see him teaming with another guy or even really focusing on character development and give us a reason to cheer him. He needs to be limited in deep storylines until WWE figures out what suits him best. No mic skills can be protected on Smackdown.
The Undertaker – RAW
Rather than pick a lower mid-card guy with my last pick, I went off the beaten path and took the Undertaker for one reason: it’s inevitable that he faces John Cena at Wrestlemania before he retires, and given their ages, this could be the year.
Tye Dillinger – Smackdown
10! 10! 10! 10! This is a guy that could really capitalize with a new audience, a simple gimmick and flourish in the mid card division. I wanted Smackdown to have big names, but also build younger talent that deserve this opportunity. Tye is a guy who can really benefit from being in the ring with veterans and potentially having a female wrapped around his arms.
