So as the brand split is happening, I thought we could make a topic about what you think the rosters will look like.

 

Here are my predictions:

  2. AJ Styles
  3. Alberto Del Rio
  4. Baron Corbin
  5. Colin Cassady
  6. Big E
  7. Curtis Axel
  8. Darren Young
  9. Dean Ambrose
  10. Dolph Ziggler
  11. Epico
  12. Heath Slater
  13. Jimmy Uso
  14. Jey Uso
  15. Karl Anderson
  16. Kofi Kingston
  17. Konnor
  18. Luke Gallows
  19. Primo
  20. Randy Orton
  21. Rusev
  22. Seth Rollins
  23. Simon Gotch

  5. Bubba Ray Dudley
  6. Cesaro
  7. Chris Jericho
  8. D-Von Dudley
  9. Eric Rowan
  10. Fandango
  11. Goldust

  13. John Cena
  14. Kalisto
  15. Kevin Owens
  16. Luke Harper
  17. Neville
  18. R-Truth

  20. Sami Zayn
  21. Sheamus
  22. Sin Cara
  23. Titus O'Neil
  24. Tyler Breeze

Cena and Reigns will be on opposite brands.

 

Not gonna do a rundown of the entire roster, but a few key players will probably be:

 

 

 

Raw: Reigns, Rollins, Jericho, Cesaro, Wyatt, Owens, Sheamus, Neville, Baron Corbin, Enzo & Cass

Smackdown: Cena, Styles, Del Rio, Sami Zayn, Apollo Crews, Kalisto, Rusev, Dudleys, New Day

 

 

 

Lord...it gets even worse when I try to break down the roster "on paper". There isn't enough talent for this.

Exactly what i've been saying, this roster does not warrant a split.

RAW:

 

AJ Styles, The Club, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Wyatts, Sami Zayn, The Miz, Rusev, The New Day, Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler

Think long term guys. The split means they're gonna be forced to build more guys from the roster into bigger names.

 

RAW

Roman Reigns

Seth Rollins

AJ Styles

Randy Orton

Chris Jericho

Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows

Enzo Amore and Big Cass

The New Day

Baron Corbin

The Wyatt Family

Alberto del Rio

Apollo Crews

Sheamus

Golden Truth

Curtis Axel

The Uso's

Rusev

Kalisto

Darren Young

Titus O'Neil

Big Show

 

 

SmackDown

John Cena

Cesaro

Kevin Owens

Dean Ambrose

Dolph Ziggler

Sami Zayn

Neville

The Miz

Tyler Breeze

Fandango

Heath Slater

Bo Dallas

Zack Ryder

Sin Cara

The Dudleys

The Shining Stars

The Vaudevillains

The Ascension

Kane

Jack Swagger

Mark Henry

 

 

I'm guessing Women and Tag Teams will be cross branded, and as has been said, several NXT names like Balor, Joe, Aries or Nakamura could be brought up to add star power as well.

I agree with Gen tho. This was hard to breakdown due to the roster size. I wanted to start off with Smackdown to make sure they had adequate star power to compete with RAW, which has the advantage of being the flagship brand. Also like OP mentioned, I wouldn't even bother to split the women division. Just let them alternate TV time on both brands.

John Cena

AJ Styles

Cesaro

Sami Zayn

Dolph Ziggler

Dean Ambrose

Baron Corbin

Alberto Del Rio

Apollo Crews

The Wyatt Family (No Bray)

Samoa Joe (NXT callup)
