Grading the SmackDown roster following WrestleMania 37

#2 Roman Reigns continues his dominance of SmackDown's main event

The Tribal Chief maintained his stranglehold atop SmackDown at WrestleMania.

The main event scene on SmackDown is thin upon first look. It's obviously led by Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan are both multi-time former Champs in their own right. However, Bryan may have to leave SmackDown if he loses his next shot at the title.

Seth Rollins is also a main-event level heel, but since Reigns is on top, Rollins has to bide his time. Edge is also factored into the equation as he challenged for the title at WrestleMania. He hasn't been seen, however, since failing to cash in on his Royal Rumble win.

Looking deeper across the entire SmackDown roster, there are numerous WWE Superstars that can or that have already moved up and down from the main event. Kevin Owens had several shots at Reigns around the Royal Rumble. Sami Zayn has also challenged for major titles while on SmackDown.

Cesaro is currently enjoying the biggest push of his career. It might not end with a Universal title win, but getting a shot in the main event after a decade is still a big deal. Big E could also challenge for the title at some point this year.

Outside of those stars, the scene needs a few more big names. Will Keith Lee move to SmackDown once he's ready, since he's engaged to Mia Yim? Will someone like Finn Balor, Adam Cole or Roderick Strong move up to SmackDown after WrestleMania Backlash?

One of those names would help things out in the long run. Adding Lee would also give him a shot to challenge the Head of the Table. Lee shared a huge moment alongside Reigns at the 2019 Survivor Series event. Will Shinsuke Nakamura get a chance after Reigns and Uso attacked him prior to the Royal Rumble? If some stars move up, then SmackDown is in relatively good shape.

Grade: B-
