I too think that the roster split has finally run its course. Therefore, I have decided to run through the WWE roster and state what I think should be done with everybody if the split gets ended..

First off, I’d like to say that at WrestleMania, the two World Titles should be unified, the two tag titles should be unified, the Cruiserweight Title stays, the Women’s Title stays, the Intercontinental Title should be the second-most important singles belt, and the United States Title should be the third-most important singles belt (similarly to the way the European Title was).

Also, I think that everyone should be a contender for one of the titles (unless I say that they should be released or sent to OVW). This way, the titles have more meaning when many people are going after them.

I also agree with many others that the matches should be shorter with more backstage vignettes, as it allows more people to get TV time.

A-TRAIN: He should be released. Not only is he a shitty wrestler with limited charisma, but the casual marks don’t give a crap about him either.
BATISTA: Should be going for the United States Title, he doesn’t warrant much else.
CHRIS BENOIT: As much as I doubt it would happen, he should stay in the WWE Title ranks.
CHRIS JERICHO: The WWE are obviously blind to not see how over this guy is, screw what Triple H says, put him in the WWE Title hunt.
CHRIS NOWINSKI: If he ever returns he’d have to go to OVW for a long while to lose the ring rust that he’d have.
CHRISTIAN: Definitely should be going for the IC Title, hopefully the WWE Title someday.
CHUCK PALUMBO: Re-unite him with the rest of the FBI and put him and Stamboli in the Tag-Team Title ranks.
EDGE: IC Title contender.
ERIC BISCHOFF: Should be the main figurehead.
EUGENE: As much as I love his current character, when he has it he can’t be more than an IC Title challenger. When he eventually loses the gimmick and the name, who knows, maybe he could be pushed to the WWE Title. I seriously think that Dinsmore could be the next Rock (his “friendship” with The Rock could be a way of passing the torch).
GAIL KIM: Women’s title.
GARRISON CADE: Too bland, they need to find a gimmick for him and then stick him in the U.S. Title hunt to test it out.
IVORY: If she’s willing to go back to being a full-time worker, put her in the women’s division.
JAZZ: Women’s title.
KANE: He’d conceivably be in the WWE Title hunt, yet he’d be the type that really just fights other main eveners in non-title matches.
LITA: I’d like her to be released, but with Matt Hardy on the roster she’ll have to stay in the women’s division.
MARK HENRY: Unfortunately, the WWE were dumb enough to give this guy a 10-year contract, so releasing him isn’t an option. Stick him in OVW for a while so he can lose his ring rust.
MATT HARDY: I think if pushed right, he could be a perennial IC Title contender.
MAVEN: I really don’t care for Maven, but since I doubt they’d release him or send him down, stick him in the U.S. Title ranks (but never really have him challenge for the belt).
MICK FOLEY: Probably will never work for the WWE again, stupid Flair.
MOLLY HOLLY: Women’s division.
NIDIA: I personally think she could use some more work in OVW.
RANDY ORTON: IC Title material at the start of the re-unification, but definite future main eventer. Could be the future Triple H.
RHYNO: Should be one of the top U.S. Title competitors.
RIC FLAIR: Should be used sparingly in the ring and work more as a manager.
ROBERT CONWAY: Should stay in his team with Sylvain for now.
ROSEY: As much as I love the S.H.I.T character, a singles run wouldn’t work for him, and since I’d rather not have The Hurricane be stuck in the tag team ranks, I think they should just let Rosey go. If not, let him at least freshen his skills up in OVW or have him re-form The Wild Samoans with Rikishi.
SHAWN MICHAELS: Being realistic, he’s definitely going to be in the WWE Title ranks.
SHELTON BENJAMIN: I don’t think that he’s ready for an IC Title run, so I’d let him be in the U.S. Title ranks for the time being until his pops improve from being just lukewarm.
STACY KEIBLER: I’d have her manage a cruiserweight. Said cruiserweight could get overness, get more exposure, and several Cruiserweight Title reigns. *cough* Paul London *cough*
STEVEN RICHARDS: U.S. Title hunt.
SYLVAIN GRENIER: See: ROBERT CONWAY
TAJIRI: Cruiserweight Title contender.
TEST: When he heals up I think they should either stick him in a tag team with Val Venis or just let go of him.
THE HURRICANE: Cruiserweight Title contender.
THE ROCK: Meh, when he comes back it’s only in month-long spans. He should pass the torch to Nick Dinsmore in a promo.
TRISH STRATUS: Women’s division.
TRIPLE H: Sadly, he’s a definite WWE Title contender, no matter what.
TYSON TOMKO: Needs more time in OVW.
VAL VENIS: As I touched upon earlier, either team him and Test up or just release him.
VICTORIA: Women’s title.
WILLIAM REGAL: Not sure if he’s going to become a fully active wrestler again or not. If he is, either put him in the U.S. or IC Title hunts. If not, make him a commentator for Raw, because we all know how stale the JR/King duo is.

AKIO: Cruiserweight Title.
BILLY GUNN: I’ll be honest, I actually don’t mind Billy Gunn, but he is WAY past his prime, and I think they should just let him go.
BILLY KIDMAN: He’s a great talent, but he’s bland and is a black-hole of charisma. I think they should let him have some time in OVW to work on his promo skills.
BOOKER T: I don’t think he’s going to even be in the promotion much longer because of his impending retirement, so I really don’t know what to do with him.
BUBBA RAY DUDLEY: He’s forever a tag team wrestler, so keep him and D-Von together, but please, just refresh their gimmick somehow.
CHARLIE HAAS: I really like his team with Rico, so I think they should keep it going.
CHAVO GUERRERO: Cruiserweight Title.
D-VON DUDLEY: See: BUBBA RAY DUDLEY
DANNY BASHAM: Keep the Basham Brothers together.
DAWN MARIE: Send her to OVW to work on her in-ring work. If she can’t improve then just let her go.
DOUG BASHAM: See: DANNY BASHAM
EDDIE GUERRERO: WWE Title contender.
FUNAKI: Cruiserweight Title.
HARDCORE HOLLY: Meh, just can his ass, nobody gives a shit about him anyways.
JAMIE NOBLE: Cruiserweight Title.
JOHN CENA: For now, have him in the IC Title hunt. Eventually he WILL be a WWE Title guy, IMO, he’s the Steve Austin of the future.
JBL: Just what did he do to warrant the WWE Title? Make him job to cruiserweights.
JOHNNY STAMBOLI: See: CHUCK PALUMBO
KENZO SUZUKI: He’s new, so I really can’t judge him yet. Maybe team him up with Sakoda? If that doesn’t work, release him.
KURT ANGLE: If he ever makes a full recovery, then definitely WWE Title hunt. If not, make him Commissioner Angle.
LUTHER REIGNS: Again, I haven’t seen enough of him to judge. Maybe make him the henchman of both Angle AND Bischoff? I dunno.
MARK JINDRAK: With Theodore Long with him, he should get a decnt U.S. Title run, and maybe move on to the IC Title.
MISS JACKIE: See: DAWN MARIE
MORDECAI: IC Title for now, although he will likely feud with Taker and Kane at some point.
NUNZIO: Keep him as the leader of the FBI and keep him as a Cruiserweight Title guy, maybe even move him to the U.S. Title.
ORLANDO JORDAN: needs more OVW time.
PAUL LONDON: See: STACY KEIBLER
RENE DUPREE: Re-unite him with the rest of La Resistance and have him work in the U.S. Title division until he can improve.
REY MYSTERIO: Cruiserweight Title.
RICO: See: CHARLIE HAAS
RIKISHI: Currently one of the stalest acts in the WWE. Either let him team with Rosey or can him.
ROB VAN DAM: IC Title, hopefully he’ll eventually move up to the WWE Title.
SABLE: See: DAWN MARIE
SAKODA: Too heavy for a cruiserweight, but I doubt anyone would give a shit if he went for the U.S. Title. As I mentioned earlier, maybe team him with Kenzo Suzuki. If it doesn’t work out maybe he should spend more time in OVW.
SCOTTY 2 HOTTY: Stale act and getting on in years. I think it’d be best to let him go.
SHANNON MOORE: Cruiserweight Title.
SPIKE DUDLEY: Either keep him as the type that heels squash to make them look dominant, or just release him.
THEODORE LONG: Keep him with mark Jindrak.
TORRIE WILSON: Have her in OVW working on her in-ring and promo skills. If she becomes a better wrestler, have her go for the women’s title. If she gets more charismatic, have her manage Kidman. If she can’t improve in either, release her.
UNDERTAKER: Once again, being realistic, he’ll be a WWE Title contender.
