I don't agree with this demotion thing tbh. As soon as Trips was drafted, it wasn't a demotion. It's an attempt to make Smackdown a strong brand, if anything - in my mind - it's a huge responsibility/task for JR and the other 'big' names that have gone over to SD to make it compelling and a success for its new network. You could almost call it the last chance saloon for the brand split.
If JR would like the easy 'phone it in' life on Raw, then he should retire. Simple as.
