State of the WWE heading into 2019

WWE's roster is stacked from top to bottom.

While it's understandable that not every division will be deep in the company, the roster has never been as full of talent as before.

Names like Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Randy Orton, Elias, Braun Strowman, Big E, Bray Wyatt and Drew McIntyre are super talented guys who aren't even champions now.

When you can boast a roster of that caliber and none are holding singles' gold, things appear to be in good shape.

The main deficit, as it usually has been, is in the tag divisions.

Too many teams were either made of singles stars that broke up (Ambrose and Rollins, Ziggler and McIntyre, Wyatt and Hardy) or are under-booked (the Revival, Sanity, Gallows and Anderson). It's true that Vince never took much stock in tag team wrestling and it shows with the discrepancies in both divisions.

Right now, the women's divisions are doing better than ever and that might lead to a first-ever main-event slot in April. All in all, the WWE is in good shape heading into next year and will likely sign a bunch of talented wrestlers once again.

I'm expecting most of the free agents to be signed to NXT, thus necessitating several call-ups from NXT. With those call-ups, even more depth will be created.
