WWE Draft 2020: 5 things that must happen - New rule change, Roman Reigns' brand destination

#1 WWE SmackDown must keep Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns moved to SmackDown in April 2019

When WWE’s ratings decreased after the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up, Vince McMahon introduced the bizarre Wild Card Rule on the May 6, 2019 episode of WWE RAW.

The rule initially allowed three WWE Superstars from RAW and SmackDown to appear on the other brand’s show every week. However, the numbers quickly got out of control, with over 10 Superstars often appearing on the rival show.

WWE’s top full-time Superstar, Roman Reigns, was the most frequently used SmackDown Superstar on RAW during that period of time, despite the fact that he had only just been traded to SmackDown after a three-year run on RAW.

Reigns has been massively overused in the past by WWE, especially throughout the summer of 2019 when he appeared on both RAW and SmackDown almost every week.

Now, with a new heel attitude and with Paul Heyman by his side, Reigns is being treated like the special attraction that he should be on WWE SmackDown.

The Universal Champion has made WWE’s two-hour SmackDown shows must-see over the last few weeks, so it would be a shame if he went back to appearing on three-hour episodes of RAW after the 2020 Draft.

Also, WWE already traded the WWE Championship and Universal Championship between RAW and SmackDown one year ago. Another World Championship show switch would be unnecessary.
