SmackDown Live just feels like a far less important show now!
With Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose all on Raw, Cena was the only major crossover star on SmackDown Live who could attract casual fans to the blue brand on a weekly basis. There is hardly a dearth of talent on SmackDown Live, but we wonder if a segment of the fans will still be as invested in the show. Let's hope someone in the roster goes for the brass ring and achieves greatness. If Styles or Owens could rise to the challenge, it would be highly beneficial in the long run.
