probably because they have a lot more wrestlers that everyone enjoys. They stacked the roster, and aside from Christian leaving, they only really added to it.
Pretty suprised that Orton and/or Sheamus didn't go over to Smackdown at the end of the night. I figured they would going into the night, but with Edge and Jericho moved over to Raw, I figured something big had to give in the other direction.
I guess they're just stacking Raw.
This can be a good thing though. Raw has been inferior to Smackdown for quality for a year or two now, in my opinion.
Raw's main event scene has a biggg feel to it now, and it's not as stale as it had gotten with Cena/Orton/HHH. The addition of Edge, and Sheamus stepping up freshens it a ton.
Sheamus was great tonight. He came off as a huge star all night.
Smackdown got stripped a bit, no doubt, but that's not a bad thing. They can really commit to Swagger now. He won't get lost in the shuffle now, since he's one of the big fish over there.
It also makes Christian and CM Punk's stock go way up. They're right on top there. Should be a good year for them.
And their midcard is obviously still great, with the addition of Kofi and probably a few others tomorrow. Hart Dynasty should get a lot of exposure there too now.
I feel like Smackdown could have used maybe one more big star, like Jericho staying put. Other than that, it was a pretty awesome draft and good for both brands.
