Three reasons why SmackDown continues to outperform Monday Night Raw

Where’s the opportunity?

T-Bar and Mace are two talented superstars, and they were on the verge of obscurity before Retribution broke, and its members went their separate ways. The duo showcased a promo on Monday Nights and had matches before the promo, but where are they now? There is no word if any of them is injured or has contracted COVID-19. There is no news of any violation or personal emergency that requires them to be off the television. The talented superstars are looking for an opportunity, but the bigger question is, where is the opportunity? If there is an opportunity, there are various deserving candidates that need it before T-Bar and Mace.

Contrary to Raw’s side of things, SmackDown builds new superstars. Let’s take Cesaro, for instance, who was considered a mid-carder until a few weeks back. The blue brand created a storyline that required his intervention, and it took him from a mid-carder to a considerable player. The fans always valued his skills, but the blue brand’s creative team also understood the star they have by their side. The leader of the Yes Movement played a pivotal role in his rise, as he did in Big E’s push as a singles superstar.
