What To Expect From The Current Roster Of RAW?

With most of the big talents of WWE heading to Smackdown the roster of RAW looks quite empty. All the biggest names of WWE are looking to be setting their destination towards the blue side of WWE, the red side looks to be looking pretty lame.

We have discussed about the possibilities of WWE sending most of their big names onto Smackdown in a different story. You can check the whole story and analysis here.

What To Expect From The Current Roster Of RAW?

The current RAW roster looks quite fragile compared to Smackdown right now as mentioned above. Wrestlers like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Edge, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Bianca Belair and many other big names are in Smackdown right now while the red side of WWE only has Bobby Lashey, Goldberg and Drew McIntyre as main event stars.

The scenario of the Monday night show may look a little weak compared to the Friday night show. But is it all bad? Of course big names are always a big attraction for any show but not enough big names can also be quite profitable by a lot of ways.

Firstly, we need to look at the rest of the roster of RAW whom we are not considering as main event stars. The first name that comes into the mind is AJ Styles who is a former three times WWE Champion and was the face of Smackdown at a point.

But since joining the red brand he has always been treated as either a mid card or a jobber. For the last one year he had been portrayed as a terrible jobber. A talent like AJ Styles is not being used at all. Imagine what a rival promotion could do with him if they get their hands on The Phenomenal One.

With the current situation of RAW roster, AJ Styles can finally be utilized properly because there are not enough options in their hand. What would they do with Bobby Lashley after Goldberg’s contract finishes?

They also have a big option underutilized that is Randy Orton but Orton is the Tag Team Champion right now so might not be feuding on a main event status. But there are other options as well like Sheamus, Keith Lee or Ricochet. This is perfect time to cash in these talents. So the red side of WWE should see this situation as an opportunity and not a disadvantage.
