But now? I'm just not so sure. Raw has an extra hour and therefore a bigger roster yes, but in terms of guys you could believably plug into the main event on a dime it seems pretty even. That they gave Cena and Orton both to SmackDown was a clear indication to me that they wanted SmackDown to seem important.
They want SDL to be important, yes. But Cena is transitioning to a part timer at this point. SD is Ambrose's show and RAW is Reigns' show, that's how it's seen from a touring point of view. They did somewhat balance the rosters, but RAW will always be seen as the A show.
