See, that's probably it. But so far Cena and Orton haven't really done much for their respective brands. Aren't ratings and such dropping from the Rock-given spike? Cena on SmackDown! would at least be super fresh, and Cena's fans would follow him anywhere.

Is there any real benefit to treating SmackDown! as a B-show, and not another A-show with the chance to make the WWE a shitload of cash? When the draft came up, people said that Daniel Bryan should be moved to SmackDown!, because it's more of the wrestling show -- but Bryan's ruthless, no-frills wrestling style would actually suit an older, fans of MMA and old-school wrestling crowd. A Monday night, testosterone filled crowd. A heel character like Cody Rhodes, psychologically damaged, focused, dangerous sociopath has got potential -- but do kids really understand? Beyond him calling them ugly all the time. Rhodes' shtick would work brilliantly in front of an older crowd. Or for someone who has spent all day at the office, only to hear Rhodes insult every facet of our wasteful lives; wanting to see him get his teeth kicked in -- or laughing along with Rhodes, if you have a more detached view of the product.
