I highly doubt that Smackdown will be made into the #1 show.

Notice how on Raw, J.R refers to Raw as the 'flagship', which indicates Raw is indeed the #1 show of the WWE.

I remember Michael Cole doing the same- Telling viewers that Smackdown was a superior brand, but notice how he hasn't been doing it lately, or at least since the draft.
