As I said when this split was announced, don't worry. They will do right by Smackdown, they always do when Smackdown matters. As I said after the first draft, don't worry, SDL got the better end of the deal. As I say now, you don't listen to anything I say, do ya? We are the morty's, you should know how this works by now

No where near dead, The only person they lost that hurt is The Miz SD needs to get depth back most importantly I can agree with this. They'll probably get KO, Charlotte, Enzo and Cass or the Club (or maybe both)... I think Smackdown is going to end up winning the shakeup. Losing the Miz sucks for them, but Owens is a good replacement. They will no doubt get some people back. Rusev and Lana, KO, Charlotte, The Club, New Day or Enzo and Cass. They need depth so probably Big Show, Braun would be a steal, and maybe a CW or two to replace Kalisto and Crews. Also expect one more NXT call up

SmackDown took some big losses tonight but I think and hope they'll get some good stuff coming their way tomorrow.
I'm thinking Owens, Charlotte, New Day, maybe Balor?

Gotta love that they put Miz on Raw and he immediately jobbed tonight. I mean why?
I can't see Nia going over there right now. She has too much going on with Bayley and everyone else on Raw to simply ship her over. Charlotte is gone however, the past few weeks have been her jobbing out of a territory. And Owens seems gone as well since he jobbed tonight. I am sorta surprised Becky didn't shift tonight instead of Alexa and Mickie. Mickie is a nice veteran addition and she was spinning her wheels on SD after that initial return, but I think Bliss gets lost in the shuffle big time on Raw.
SD needs to get the belt off Orton quickly. As in just put it back on Styles and then do him and Nakamura for the title at SS. Orton got his lame Rumble and WM win, now put someone over.
My one problem with the show tonight is that all of the people who are leaving most likely (New Day, Charlotte, Owens) all just jobbed hard. It makes SD look like they are getting the leftovers in this thing.

In truth, I don't see who Smackdown will get that will have that punch. Balor, Rollins, and likely Reigns are staying on Raw. The Smackdown main event has gotten very very thin with Orton and AJ really being the only 2 guys now. Cena is gone. Nakamura just showed up. There's Corbin, but he needs a little bit more work. I guess Owens if he actually does move. Right now, I'm actually predicting we'll get Corbin vs Ambrose for the title and Corbin brings the title back to Smackdown. I just don't see what names Smackdown is going to get in return.
Nia loudly proclaimed her intentions for the Raw title so it'd be dumb to move her now. Smackdown will likely get 2 women, most likely Charlotte and Sasha who have dominated the title scene and need extended time away from it which they won't get on Smackdown. It won't shock me if Charlotte gets the title within a month. Basically we're getting the same packaging we got on Raw just in a blue wrapper.
I'm willing to see how it plays out, but I am not optimistic.

Glad they kept AJ on there. I have zero interest in most of the top Raw guys but maybe the new environment will do whoever they send over good.

Outside of Raw getting The Miz SDL is barely gutted. They took away Ambrose who has been spinning his wheels playing the third fiddle between Styles, Cena, Orton, and Bray Wyatt for a while that it got so bad he got bumped into the preshow last second at Wrestlemania. Instead he'll get replaced with Kevin Owens who will have a fresh start and Owens vs. Nakamura sounds incredible. Other than that Raw needed to rebuild there women's division badly that was a given, SDL only lost Heath Slater and Rhyno who were doing nothing, Kalisto is finally promoted to 205 Live, Bray Wyatt will be mishandled no matter which show he goes too, they lost Hawkins, Apollo Crews, and Raw got the Drifter instead of the rumored Cien.
This is hardly a gutting at all outside of possibly the women's division. But SDL needs a major rebuild for there tag division and I'm sure Raw get's two women and lose one woman just like how Smackdown will get two tag teams and lost one tag team.

What was really killed by this was Talking Smack. No Alexa, no Miz, no Dean, it's basically just the Baron Corbin Show now.

The Orton Wyatt program comes to a merciful abrupt end
AJ and Shinsuke Nakamura are there
Charlotte is probably coming
Crews, Kalisto and Hawkins are gone
What's the problem?

I'm going to miss Bliss on Smackdown. Happy trails Dubstep Witch.
I mean Smackdown is not totally dead. They still have AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bully John, and The Beast Incarnate James Ellsworth. Also likely chance Owens is going to SmackDown since they have the IC title. Would also put some more value on the US belt doing this.
I'm more surprised that Raw now has all three members of The SHIELD, unless Roman goes to SmackDown, and I do not see that happening.

They still have the Face That Runs the Place, AJ Styles?
Yeah they're fine.
You know what would make them better?
Add a little Sami Zayn.

I think you're right on with Owens, and New Day, both HAVE to be going to SDL. Charlotte is a bit of a question mark but clearly her, Bailey, or Sasha are heading over in exchange for Alexa. As for Balor, I don't think so, he just came back, and still has a lot left to do on Raw. I would think Reigns or Rollins is Smackdown bound. That makes it an even trade, one Shield brother (Ambrose), for another (Reigns or Rollins).
