I'm hoping that with all those guys going to Raw, Harper will get a chance to break out and not just be saddled with a Rowan feud or team.
Also, the idea of Rusev/Lana vs Miz/Maryse might be entertaining but I'd rather it was on SDL. Losing Miz is likely going to hurt for SDL and Miz as most have said.
I suspect Sami's win today was meant to give him a bit of momentum for them move. They definitely need a few women sent over to SDL as their roster was tiny to begin with. I'll wait and see how things shake out tomorrow. I just wish Orton hadn't gotten the WWE championship and that he'd been shifted to Raw, but then I've never really been entertained by him.

"RIP Smackdown Live"? Total overreaction. SDL still has AJ, Nakamura and Orton. Plus they haven't yet pulled over anyone from Raw, which happens tonight. I expect Owens and Sasha Banks will be headed to SD (among others).
Talking Smack takes a huge blow losing The Miz though. That show is the biggest loser in all this.

I'm surprised that Smackdown is already getting this reaction. Without even knowing who we get tonight, Smackdown still has Styles, Orton, Cena, Nakamura, Dillinger, Nakamura, Harper, American Alpha, and the Usos.
They will be just fine.

No where near dead, The only person they lost that hurt is The Miz SD needs to get depth back most importantly Getting rid of Bray helps Smackdown in my opinion. Once he gets smashed by Balor he should just find a tag partner. I'd guess something with Braun, with one of them turning face.

I guess people are looking at the numbers as opposed to the quality of people, when I first read the results it seemed alot, but it looks like they have taken a big name (Miz/Maryse, Dean Ambrose, Bray) people who have worked with everyone (Alexa) and people lost in the shuffle (Apollo, Kalisto, Mickie, Heath/Rhyno, Hawkins)
So do that backwards looking at RAW's roster and I would chose these:
Kevin Owen Rusev and Lana Ceasro The Club Sami Zayn Charlotte Alicia Fox Bo Dallas Jinder Mahal Titus O'Neil

SmackDown will be just fine I feel. Looking at who Raw got, I see the following going to SD:
Owens Zayn New Day The Club Charlotte Rusev/Lana Some other scrubs no one cares about like Raw got
But SD's top guys being Nakamura, AJ, Owens, Zayn, Cena, Orton looks pretty good to me!

My guess is SDL gets Owens (US Champ), Charlotte, Sami and either New Day or The Club at minimum. Plus, at least one of Seth/Roman/Finn/Joe. SDL will be fine

Can bet on Charlotte and The Club joining SDL
Andrade, Rollins, Owens and either Dana or Nia are pretty good bets too

Trust the process. Remember how people declared Smackdown dead after the 1st post draft shows? Raw had most of the biggest names and hotter show. Smackdown was a skeleton crew. And what happened? They made the most of what they got and came out the better show for the most part. All without a stacked roster. The shake up still going on with SDL getting their new recruits tonight. Patience, young padawans.

SDL has been pretty terrible from a booking and talent utilization standpoint since they launched it aside of some great work from AJ and Miz.Its a roster of geeks except for AJ.The tag Divison is a joke and the women's division is pretty much throw all the women in one match and the Wyatt/Orton crap.Ambrose was way hotter an act before he got there than he is now,Miz has done the best work of his career and they use him to put over geeks like Ziggler for no reason.They get caught up on these comedy gimmicks that anyone with a brain can see will be short lived in favor of money acts see Slater/Rhyno instead of pushing American Alpha and building up the tag divison or the Ellsworth garbage that did wonders for him.
I like Alexa as a character but she has a long way to go in the ring and Charlotte is a major upgrade from a wrestling standpoint. Mickie was kind just there on SDL so no big loss. Nobody cares about Hawkins,Crews,Kalisto,Slater or Rhyno so no big loss. WWE is only gonna push Miz so far so it doesn't really matter which brand he's on. Owens on SDL is a major upgrade from Ambrose. Bray Wyatt is a non factor so big loss. Plus they've added Nakamura and Byron Saxton so SDL may actually be better than it was before the shakedown.

I'm so glad people are seeing what I am about Miz. He's the loss and it feels like a demotion.
The rest are quite minor steals honestly.

What was really killed by this was Talking Smack. No Alexa, no Miz, no Dean, it's basically just the Baron Corbin Show now. If they get Owens he can easily take over talking smack.

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. I like the way you think.
