CM Punk is my choice
Cena is always the MAN on Raw

Punk on SD should do wonders

What is with all the people who want to ruin Punk's career lately? Have some fucking respect, you don't stick a guy as talented as Punk on a glorified version of ECW. FUCK. THAT.

No doubt Smackdown is below Raw on the totem pole, but Smackdown is way, way closer to Raw than it is the late ECW.

Is it? Then how do you explain Christian, Mark Henry and Daniel Bryan as world champions. That's COMPLETELY ECW-esque.

The World Heavyweight Champion hasn't even been prominent on Raw for the last few weeks. The fucking tag champs get more time than he does, what does that say about the brand? Below Raw on the totem pole doesn't even begin to describe SmackDown, it feels exactly like ECW.

Brock Lesner enough said. He changed smackdown once, and actually made it the better show during his reign in the 2004s, and im sure he can do it again.
RAW has enough mainevent starpower already with Punk, Henry, Jericho, Stone Cold Steve Austin rumored, Kane, HHH, Undertaker. I believe drafting Rock and Brock to smackdown can do wonders to the show, especially after brock destroys cena after the PPV.

It would have to be multiple guys to change SD at this point tbh. Cena is a must as well. Look what happened when they thought Orton could do it. Nothing.
In a draft senario
Cena - Orton
Lesnar - Mark Henry
Miz - Cody Rhodes
Kofi - Ryback
Swagger - Barret
Lawler - Booker T
Kharma - Kaitlyn
This bunch along with Sheamus, Christian, Bryan, and co. could probably bring legitimacy back to SD.

I don't think that one guy would be sufficient.
The lack of starpower on SD is too damn high.
sorry mods for the double post but i didnt see this one


there is a lack of star power on SD but there doesnt have to be. The people they should draft over to smackdown are the ones that are in store for BIG pushes, like pushes that propel them to and through the main event scene (Kinda like bryan) but have more than one.


like I dont know just a poor example but take ziggler over to smackdown and push him and I dont know, kofi. push them THROUGH THE MOON they arguably deserve it anyway, and you can make star quality on smackdown, without making raw suffer for it.

Does the draft even matter anymore? If Punk was drafted to Smackdown, he'd just show up on Raw and Smackdown each week lol.
This post is the exact reason why I don't think its a bad idea to put a Cena, Punk or even Lesenar on Smackdown. Or atleast finally end the brand extension all together and use both shows to build PPV's.

Re: The one wrestler apart from Cena that could make a difference to Smackdown if dra

No one guy is going to make Smackdown equal to Raw. The problem lies in the "lack of depth" in the Upper Midcard & Main Event. You can come up with a list of who you think is considered which for each brand full-time, and I bet that when you come up just with a total list, there can be as many as 4 more Superstars you list in the Raw brand compared to Smackdown. Then you add in the current injuries and then you take into account the guys who aren't on Raw fulltime (Rock, HHH, Undertaker); that gap gets even bigger.

Am I the only one in here, who thinks SD is just as good and important as RAW? Sometimes I even look forward to it more.

If Miz doesn't go to SmackDown! he's fucked.

He's left off RAW..And if the Creative does not move him to SmackDown! Miz will never be a Main Eventer,heh what am i even talking about he'll barely get TV time.With the returns of Lesnar and Tensai Miz is left without a spot.Not that he had one in the first place.He's the guy who mostly needs to move to SmackDown!.If he doesn't he'll be nothing more than a jobber.Do You agree with me?

Re: If Miz doesn't go to SmackDown! he's fucked.

I kind off agree with you there. If Miz goes to Smackdown then maybe he will get a main event push to the WHC.

Re: If Miz doesn't go to SmackDown! he's fucked.

Miz is a good mic worker, something that 80% of the Roster is not. He will survive, trust me.
In what regard? He's shit in the ring so you can be saying he's better then 80% of the roster in in ring skills. If you're talking about working the mic then yeah I suppose, but as far as his acting goes. He just comes off as a loud kid sometimes.

Re: The one wrestler apart from Cena that could make a difference to Smackdown if dra

Racist? I said that's how VINCE does things, not how I would do it. If anything, I find it completely ridiculous. Trying to deny how the WWE runs their business is just idiotic, though. Kofi Kingston was more over than 98% of the company in late 2009 but they gave Sheamus and Swagger the title out of nowhere. Henry had to wait 15 years for a reign, Truth is a jobber even though he got over as hell when he turned heel. Their treatment of MVP proves that above all else. Don't try to deny this stuff, the writing is on the wall. Whether I agree with it or not was never the point, it IS what's happening.

And being called racist by a guy with an avatar that says "BLACK POWER" is hilarious. HOLD ****** DOWN!

Re: If Miz doesn't go to SmackDown! he's fucked.

I somewhat agree. I would like to see him turn face and put over some of the midcard on Smackdown, Hunico, Cody Rhodes, Drew McItyre, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal

Re: If Miz doesn't go to SmackDown! he's fucked.

I'd move him to Smackdown and turn him face if it was up to me, but yeah, he certainly needs to do one of those things. There's nothing left for him to do on RAW as a heel as he's already feuded with all the main faces (except for Punk, and, right or wrong, they don't seem to feel like he should be in the title picture).

Re: If Miz doesn't go to SmackDown! he's fucked.

Miz would be fine if they didn't consistently job him out to everyone and make him look utterly weak and pathetic in every match. He has charisma and is good on the mic in the right role and when he has the right person to work with but it is hard to take him seriously when he can't get anything done when it actually comes down to it. It also doesn't help when his opponents just laugh him off (Punk & Cena, I'm looking at you) because if your babyfaces don't the guy seriously then nor will the fans

Which show he is on is irrelevant, if he moves to SD he will be the same guy but just jobbing to different people (probably Sheamus and Big Show).

Re: If Miz doesn't go to SmackDown! he's fucked.

At this point I would have to agree with what the "Op" has suggested. I myself have been waiting for The Miz vs Daniel Bryan part 2. Same roles as last time with Bryan the "face", and Miz "heel". We can easily say that Daniel is more over now than he was with his first feud with The Miz. That feud was one of my favorites the last 5 years, or more. Another feud, but this time on Smackdown would be perfect. However, The Miz has plenty of upside either way.
