WWE: Redrafting Raw and SmackDown’s 2016 Brand Split
WWE.com
37. SmackDown – Luke Harper
Luke Harper has been a focal part of this new Wyatt Family, maybe more than he ever had been. His tension with Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt could lead to potentially his biggest program yet, which is going into WrestleMania 33 season.
In this scenario, Harper sticks around with Wyatt and Orton on SmackDown to prolong their program. There could also be a singles run in there for the right-hand man of the Eater of Worlds, pending what happens as we go forward on Tuesday nights.
38. Raw – Kane
Kane is basically a novelty act at this point in his career. He doesn’t wrestle full time like he did in 2015, is around in a limited role and for live events appearances. The Big Red Machine had a role during the Bray Wyatt-Randy Orton feud, but didn’t do much afterward.
On Raw, Kane wouldn’t do anything more than he is now, which is fine given that he’s nearing 50. It’s just about the depth and veteran presence.
