Draft your "Top 5" for Raw/Smackdown

[Big Vic]

Raw:
1
2
3
4
5

Smackdown:
1
2
3
4
5

State your reasons for drafting them as you did.

EDIT: Heck if you want to do a top 10, do a top 10

[Big Vic]

Raw:
1 Cena
2 Roman Reigns
3 Del Rio
4 Sheamus
5 Ziggler

Smackdown:
1 Rollins
2 Ambrose
3 Styles
4 Rusev
5 Kevin Owens


I'm putting everyone I don't want to watch on Raw so I don't have to sit through another 3 hour marathon. Sorry Ziggler Fans he's been started and stopped so many times I'd rather not watch him any more. I'd probably also keep the whole divas division on Raw just because it has that extra hour.

Everyone else who I am remotely interested would be on Smackdown, and while Lana is a Diva I would keep her with Rusev.

[Emperor Smeat]

RAW:
1) Roman Reigns
2) Seth Rollins
3) New Day
4) Dean Ambrose
5) Rusev

Smackdown:
1) John Cena
2) AJ Styles
3) Enzo & Cass
4) Kevin Owens
5) Sami Zayn

Kept the Shield on RAW so that the WWE can use the three as the basis for the WWE title scene while Cena-Styles can be the basis for the World title scene (assuming it actually happens).

Gave RAW the US belt while IC belt goes to Smackdown with either Owens or Zayn as champ by early into the Split era.

Both of the tag teams picked can easily be made as the cornerstone of their brand just based on crowd reactions and popularity alone.

[Simple Fan]

Think I'll do 10

Raw
1. John Cena
2. Roman Reigns
3. New Day
4. Alberto Del Rio
5. Sheamus
6. Dolph Ziggler
7. Chris Jericho
8. Barron Corbin
9. Sasha Banks
10. The Dudleys

Smackdown
1. Randy Orton
2. AJ Styles
3. Seth Rollins
4. Dean Ambrose
5. Gallows and Anderson
6. Bray Wyatt and Family
7. Finn Balor
8. Kevin Owens
9. Rusev
10. Apollo Crews

Put Reigns on Raw away from Ambrose and Rollins so he isn't tied to them in any way. I think he'd get over better without them two around as well. Also put Cena on Raw for the passing of the torch match. New Day to Raw with newest member Sasha Banks. The rest is just upper mid card filler.

For Smackdown I really want to see a Orton/Styles match so that's why I went that route. Would like to see The Club (Bulletproof would be their name) four strong with Finn. Like I said I wanted to separate Ambrose and Rollins from Reigns. Want Smakdown to have a bunch of work rate guys.

[Cool King]

I'll do pretty much the entire roster, which works out at 38 each.

I have no real reasons really for drafting them as I did, other than I only did this as I'm pretty bored at the moment and my other reason being that I would be interested to see the brands this way.

I like yours but i would replace Crews with Shinsuke Nakamura

Great thread idea!

[Big Vic]

Hmm, Top Five. I'm going to do this like kayfabe:

WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Dean Ambrose
WWE Women's Champion: Charlotte
WWE Tag Team Champions: The New Day

RAW:
1. John Cena
2. AJ Styles
3. The Undertaker
4. Bray Wyatt
5. Kevin Owens

SmackDown:
1. Seth Rollins
2. Roman Reigns
3. Brock Lesnar
4. Randy Orton
5. Sasha Banks

I guess.
Whoa... The only thread where noid didn't give a huge explanation on his thoughts.

[Scottness89]

Raw:

1. Roman Reigns
2. Dean Ambrose
3. Kevin Owens
4. Brock Lesnar
5. Finn Balor

Smackdown:

1. John Cena
2. AJ Styles
3. Seth Rollins
4. Randy Orton
5. Samoa Joe

For Raw you keep Roman to be "The Guy" and with him stays Ambrose to keep the fans happy and to eventually have a long feud with Roman. Owens would be a wild card who can feud with Reigns if he remains a babyface and can also feud with Lesnar. Brock stays for an eventual rematch with Roman and a match with Owens. I'd keep Balor away from "The Club" for now and have him feud with Owens upon his debut.

Over on SD you have Cena be the main draw to attract audience. He can continue his feud with AJ Styles and can eventually feud with Samoa Joe. AJ and Joe can add more chapters to their epic history as well. Seth Rollins can hold the SD championship and defend against Orton and eventually AJ and Joe.

[Droford]

I forsee a few things.

1 groups and teams will get drafted as 1 pick so they don't break up anyone.
2 Initially the WWE, Women's and Tag Champs will float on both shows. The Women's champ and Tag Champs especially cause it would be dumb to create secondary titles in those categories for each Show. Make it a benefit to being a "main champion".

So here are my top 10 draft Picks
Smackdown
Roman Reigns
Dean Ambrose
New Day
Charlotte
Kevin Owens
Enzo and Cass
The Miz
Cesaro
Sheamus
Baron Corbin
RAW
Brock Lesnar
John Cena
Seth Rollins
The Club
Rusev
Chris Jericho
Wyatt Family
Dolph Ziggler
Sasha Bank's
Del Rio

Brock Lesnar will get drafted #1 to RAW which will be the Premise behind him being the main event at Summerslam probably vs Dean Ambrose.
