WWE should "stack RAW" with it's highest drawing wrestlers

Here's what the WWE should do in my opinion.

1) Rank every single wrestler, top to bottom, based on how much they draw on average per viewership, quarterly segments, etc.

2) Put the first half of that list on RAW (I.e. the biggest draws), and the second half of that list on Smackdown.

What this achieves:

1) RAW is now a stacked show in terms of potential for interest, and now has an (outside) shot of bringing in new viewers and/or rekindling serious interest.

2) Smackdown is now forced to re-invent itself by taking currently existing characters, and making them interesting or changing their gimmick. This could be the place where see our "Terra Ryzing's" morph into our future HHH's.


-WWE goes back to its traditional roster split (I'd do it after Mania).
-every 18 months, a draft takes place just like it did a few years ago.
-RAW goes back to 2 hours. Smackdown remains a 2 hour show.
-John Cena turns heel at Wrestlemania.
