WWE: Redrafting Raw and SmackDown’s 2016 Brand Split
WWE.com
39. SmackDown – Carmella
Carmella keeps her spot on SmackDown, but gets picked higher up than she was back in July. This is due to her role and performance as a heel, which like every other former babyface in WWE, has been better. It hasn’t necessarily translated into wins, something that can be attributed to her facing Nikki Bella.
The Princess of Staten Island could factor into the title picture down the line. By going to SmackDown with a somewhat similar group of women, her potential may not go higher than where it is.
40. Raw – Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews is the one who has been hyped up with all the potential in the world. His presence, athleticism, and wrestling ability are great. Something has yet to click for the past 15 months in WWE, however. This had been the case through NXT and with his surprising call-up in April.
Crews never really got a chance to prove himself in a marquee feud, but never built up any momentum with the fans. Would a move to Raw make any difference?
