WWE Raw and Smackdown have started their journeys with separate rosters, last month. Draft 2021 in early October allowed the two brands to pick their own rosters which went fully into effect following Crown Jewel 2021 PPV event. Now both the brands are conducting their own house shows with superstars from their sides only.
A Twitter handle, WrestleOps recently pointed out that WWE has selected two particular superstars for their live event posters. WWE Champion Big E is the poster boy for the WWE Raw brand while Sasha Banks has become the poster girl for the WWE Smackdown side. These two are interesting choices considering the other top names from the divisions.
It’s interesting to note that WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown banners featuring superstars have been removed following Draft 2021. While some of the WWE NXT Superstars have featured for their respective Wednesday night show, only Raw and Smackdown logos have been used for the prime weekly Monday and Friday night shows, respectively.
