Addiction to Raw, since we need a team we can build up. Nakamura, Roode and Joe to Smackdown, to liven up the IC Title picture. The rest to Raw. That way, Raw is the high-flying, Lucha style car crash show, while Smackdown is more of mat-based/down-and-dirty brawling type show.
Just my thoughts, hopefully others weigh in too.

OK, I was planning to do this as soon as NXT ended but I found myself trying to process quite the ending. So I'm just now working on this.
When we last left our rebooking, I was merely planning on Orton's heel turn and placing our callups on brands. And trying to keep people from getting signed by WDW. However, before booking the next two shows, I didn't expect two have two incidents: Nikki Bella checked into rehab for her alcoholism, and Ariya Daivari suffered an ankle injury on a house show that will sideline him for two months.
Prior to booking RAW, I did my callups. Since Tyger and ewrfan agreed on everything but where Ibushi should go, I did a coin flip. Heads meant RAW and tails meant Smackdown. Tails it was.
I made a note to turn Orton on SD and also do RAW's part of the FAN belt qualifiers. Only downside was that my plans not only restricted me to just debuting the Addiction, it also forced me to push the Neville/Rusev "feud" back a week. Oops.
RAW, WEEK 2:
1. Finn Balor defeated Kevin Owens and then fought off Chris Jericho (78%) 2. Addiction talk shit about Enzo and Cass (75%) 3. Addiction beat Enzo and Cass (74%) 4. The Club attack New Day and leave with the belts (65%) 5. FAN BELT QUALIFIER: R-Truth beat Bo Dallas (65%) 6. FAN BELT QUALIFIER: Sin Cara beat Primo (75%) 7. FAN BELT QUALIFIER: Curtis Axel beat Goldust (70%) 8. RAW'S THIRD AUTHORITY FIGURE (!!!!) Brock Lesnar (?!?!?!?!) books Rollins vs. Reigns for Summerslam (78%) (Seriously, it gave me the option for Lesnar as an authority figure for that angle) 9. Sasha promotes her feud with Charlotte (74%) 10. Sasha and Paige beat Charlotte and Dana Brooke but Charlotte and Dana strike back after the match (69%) 11. Seth Rollins beats Cesaro but Roman gets payback for last week's beatdown (88%, Scott Keith gave the match ****1/4) OVERALL: 74%
Little happened outside of WDW signing more high-fliers and Jay Briscoe, but R-Truth and Bo apparently don't mesh well and Enzo wants up the card. THAT ONE WILL BE A GROUP DECISION AS WILL ANY OTHER PROMOTIONS.
So with that, Smackdown:
1. Shinsuke Nakamura beat Tyler Breeze (72%) 2. American Alpha beat The Ascension (72%) 3. Samoa Joe debuts by attacking Zack Ryder (75%) 4. Kota Ibushi beat Fandango (75%) 5. FAN BELT QUALIFIER FOR SD'S ENTRY: Mojo Rawley beat Kalisto (gone first) and Baron Corbin in an elimination match (69%) 6. Becky Lynch promotes her feud with Naomi (66%) 7. Becky Lynch beat Alexa Bliss by DQ after Naomi attacks Becky and beats the hell out of her (60%) 8. AJ and Miz run down Cena and Ziggler for their feud (84%) 9. Cena and Dolph beat AJ and Miz when the latter two have a miscommunication but get beaten down afterwards (80%) 10. Dean Ambrose beat Del Rio but Del Rio attacks him afterwards... (78%) 11. ...Causing Orton to come to the rescNOPE SWERVE. Orton attacks Ambrose and turns heel (80%) OVERALL: 73%
Out of the blue, Roman Reigns sent me an e-mail asking if he could have a feud some time with Jericho. Hmmm....
So next week's shows will be finishing the Summerslam build, deciding who faces Mojo for the FAN belt, and getting more of our debuts done. Also, DO WE MOVE ENZO UP THE CARD RIGHT NOW?

Sure, promote Enzo. What's our card for SummerSlam so far? I know Ambrose vs. Orton, Rollins vs. Reigns, Sasha vs. Charlotte, Cena vs. AJ and Mojo vs. . Did I miss anything?

The problem with PPV cards is I only have eight slots for the main card and one for the pre-show. So I can either put our lowest-ranked feud on the preshow or put the FAN belt finals there. That may be a FAN Creative majority call so @irontyger, Big Bad Brad, and 'Foretold' Joker need to weigh in too.

I would personally put the FAN Title on the pre-show, since it's not in a feud and will feature lower midcarders. That way, it won't hurt the overall score of the PPV.

Nothing happened prior to the next week of shows other than Enzo getting his requested move up. So it was time to finish the road to Summerslam:
RAW, WEEK 3:
1. Big E defeated Luke Gallows after Karl Anderson caused the DQ but The Club beat down both Big E and Kofi afterwards (77%) 2. RAW QUALIFIER FOR THE FAN BELT MATCH: Curtis Axel beat Sin Cara (first out) and R-Truth in an elimination match (70%) 3. Addiction beat Prime Time Players (72%) 4. Charlotte and Sasha have an in-ring confrontation that results in Charlotte getting clocked with the belt (78%) 5. Gran Metalik beat Primo (64%) 6. Finn Balor talks about Jericho (73%) 7. Balor beats Bubba Ray Dudley by DQ thanks to an attack by Jericho (74%) 8. Austin Aries hypes his debut against Cesaro (74%) 9. Austin Aries beat Cesaro (76%) 10. Andrade Almas beat Jack Swagger (75%) 11. Roster has to come out to keep Reigns and Rollins from tearing into each other (86%) OVERALL: 75%
Yeah, I hadn't planned to do two DQs but I had forgotten that I set the first one.
Bubba Ray felt he didn't have chemistry with Finn and wanted matches with Big Show. OK, maybe?
SMACKDOWN, WEEK 3:
1. Miz attacks Ziggler during their contract signing (87%) 2. Bobby Roode hyped his debut against Apollo Crews (88%) 3. Bobby Roode Beat Apollo Crews (64%) 4. Naomi snaps Becky's fingers (76%) 5. Vaudevillains beat Usos (68%) 6. Cena hypes the AJ match (91%) 7. Cena beat Sheamus, who is going to get moved to SD (77%) 8. AJ gets his turn to hype (75%) 9. AJ beat Kane (71%) 10. Ambrose talks Orton's heel turn (83%) 11. Ambrose beats Del Rio, then RKO OUTTA NOWHERE (71%) OVERALL: (76%)
Ambrose promptly sent a message asking to stick with Orton because he has no chemistry with ADR, unlike Cena vs. Sheamus. Maryse also was injured. Somehow.
So now we come to our first PPV of the FAN Era, and this is the status of the card in order:
PRESHOW, FAN CHAMPIONSHIP: Curtis Axel vs. Mojo Rawley WWE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: New Day (c) vs. The Club Naomi vs. Becky Lynch Chris Jericho vs. Finn Balor WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP: Charlotte (c) vs. Sasha Banks INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: The Miz (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler AJ Styles vs. John Cena Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Randy Orton
Now, I went in order of feud heat except for the last three. Had I done those as well, it'd be Ambrose/Orton, AJ/Cena ended by Reigns/Rollins.
This is also how Sophie sees each feud, none of which she feels are ready to end:
- AJ vs. Cena needs more build - Ambrose vs. Orton could have Orton get wins by cheating - Reigns vs. Rollins needs more build - Becky vs. Naomi could have Naomi get wins by cheating - The Club would lose popularity if they lose the feud to New Day at this stage - Balor vs. Jericho could have Jericho get wins by cheating - Charlotte vs. Sasha needs more build - Miz vs. Ziggler needs more build
So before I book Summerslam, I need the following:
1. Should I keep the card order as is or switch the last three? 2. Who should win? 3. How much of Sophie's advice do we take?

1. Keep it the same.
2. Mojo New Day, but have them get beaten up afterwards Becky - Naomi can keep going after her on Smackdown out of jealousy over her popularity Jericho via cheating - do we want to give him a bodyguard or something? Charlotte via Dana interference Miz gets counted out, then attacks Dolph afterwards AJ Double DQ Orton becomes the new Champion - not what I thought I'd say at the start, but here we are

I'll do Summerslam over the weekend. Would have done it sooner i.e. the last couple days but I've had some unfortunate family stuff to deal with.
Two funerals next week is going to be rough for me.

OK, so because there is a bit of difference regarding ewrfan and Tyger's suggestions, I decided to coin flip any matches that had any variation.
PRE-SHOW: Mojo Rawley beat Curtis Axel to win the FAN belt (68%) 1. New Day beat The Club to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships but got beaten down afterwards (75%) 2. Naomi cheats to beat Becky Lynch then hightails it out of there (71%) 3. Chris Jericho beat Finn Balor with help from Braun Strowman and they beat Finn up after (81%) 4. Charlotte retains the Women's Championship against Sasha with help from Dana, who gets stuck in the Bank Statement after (77%) 5. Dolph beats IC Champ Miz by count-out but gets a Skull Crushing Finale after (82%) 6. AJ beats up John Cena and refuses a handshake (86%) 7. Roman beats Rollins by count-out and Rollins keeps walking (91%) 8. Orton beat Ambrose to win the WWE Championship (89%, **** rating) OVERALL: 82%
Nothing changed in terms of messages so this is what Sophie thinks of our feuds:
AJ VS. CENA: Needs more cheating AMBROSE VS. ORTON: Needs more cheating REIGNS VS. ROLLINS: Needs more build NEW DAY VS. CLUB: Club would lose popularity if they lose the feud now BECKY VS. NAOMI: Keep developing as feud is getting interesting JERICHO VS. BALOR: Either keep feud even or let someone get a huge advantage CHARLOTTE VS. SASHA: Needs more build DOLPH VS. MIZ: Needs more cheating

Neville and Reigns beat a miscommunicating Rusev and Rollins but get beat down afterwards (81%) OVERALL: 76%
Big Cass sent a message saying he wants up the card next to Enzo.
SMACKDOWN, WEEK 4:
1. Vaudevillains beat American Alpha (76%) 2. Naomi hypes feud with Becky (71%) 3. Naomi beat Natalya by DQ after Becky decides to resume her fight with Naomi from Summerslam (68%) 4.

Shinsuke Nakamura beat Erick Rowan (71%) 8. Mojo retains the FAN belt against Fandango (66%) 9. Ziggler hypes Miz feud (76%) 10. Ziggler beat Del Rio but Miz attacks him afterwards (83%, **** rating) 11. Ambrose crashes Orton's title celebration and drops him with Dirty Deeds (82%) OVERALL: 74%

Move Cass up.
Also, I think we missed a great opportunity to put the FAN belt on FANdango...
