Raw has always been WWE's flagship program. With the exception of The Rock's big surge and the infamous Smackdown 6, Raw has always been the top programming dog. But, with this year's brand-extension, would that change things? You better believe it did.
While Raw continues to have decent ratings, Smackdown has blown Raw away since the draft, when it comes to overall quality of the show. Raw still has some heavy hitters, like Kevin Owens, and now Braun Strowman has been given the opportunity of a lifetime with his current push.
Raw is also home to The New Day and we all know the epic year that those guys had. Let's not forget the return of The Cruiserweight Division either. Raw has had better runs, but they will survive.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
