WWE: Redrafting Raw and SmackDown’s 2016 Brand Split

WWE.com

23. SmackDown – Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks had a significant run in the Raw women’s division from July to December. She held the Raw Women’s Championship three times, had a Hell in a Cell match, and an Iron Man match. However, none of her three title runs lasted more than 27 days, and she has mostly been nonexistent since losing at WWE Roadblock.

A change of scenery could do wonders for Banks as the top female face of SmackDown. She could work with Alexa Bliss and other yet-to-be-named women on the roster. It’s a fresh look instead of going to battle with Charlotte and Becky Lynch, which the Boss did all too much of in 2016.

24. Raw – Bayley

One Superstar who Banks would not be wrestling is Bayley, who stays on Raw in this WWE redraft scenario. This is mostly due to her program with Charlotte, which hasn’t exactly been top notch through one month.

Bayley has arguably been exposed by the brand split. She gets over well with the kids and still has a fanbase with the adults, but her promo work hasn’t been a hit. Couple this with the lackluster Charlotte program, and it moves her to No. 24. If the Hugster wins the Raw Women’s Championship at the Royal Rumble, it will move her up, however.
