RAW's Mid-Card Division
Members: Andrade, Rusev, Aleister Black, Cedric Alexander, Buddy Murphy, Erick Rowan, Jinder Mahal, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, Bobby Lashley
In my opinion, the RAW mid-card was the biggest winner in the draft. They added Andrade, Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy to Cedric Alexander, Ricochet, Rey Mysterio and Bobby Lashley. The first three men could all become big stars in the future if they get the right people behind them.
Black is unlike any of the other Superstars on the roster and Andrade could be that big Latino star that WWE have desperately been looking for. In three matches on SmackDown, Murphy has already showcased that he should be given more chances going forward.
We already know what Lashley, Mysterio, Mahal, R-Truth, and Rusev can do and they should provide the newer stars with good challenges. Erick Rowan is a wildcard because we don't know if he will continue a push further up the card or if he will stay in the mid-card after his feud with Roman Reigns. This group will obviously have members move up to the main event and/or form tag teams.
Others like Humberto Carillo, Akira Tozawa, Shelton Benjamin, EC3, Eric Young, Mojo Rawley, No Way Jose, and Sin Cara will help the mid-card but may not have much of a chance of advancing.
