5 Major problems in WWE and how to fix them

#1 The problem: SmackDown doesn't have enough star power

WWE's star power imbalance is quite noticeable.

SmackDown, quite simply, doesn't have nearly as much star power as Raw.

With the red brand boasting a roster that includes John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, you could argue that Raw has the vast majority of WWE's biggest stars.

Other than AJ Styles, Raw features most of WWE's proven, big-name veterans, and even the call-up of Bobby Roode isn't enough to fix that.

The solution: Move some top Raw or NXT stars to SmackDown

Given Raw's star power advantage, it wouldn't be a huge blow to the brand if it lost a top singles star, perhaps someone like Rollins, Ambrose or even Jeff Hardy. Of course, an even bigger name like Lesnar or Strowman moving to SmackDown could go a long way toward the blue brand rivalling the red brand.

The bottom line is that the likes of Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal do not remotely compare to Lesnar, Strowman, Cena and Reigns when you compare the two main-event scenes.

Unless WWE makes a major move with someone like Strowman or a top NXT star, the obvious roster imbalance will continue to hamper SmackDown.
