Sorry if someone did this before (aside from Sean Carless years ago), but the current Raw storyline reminds me of Star Wars (as, admittedly, most Good vs. Evil stories tend to do). We have:
Daniel Bryan = Luke Skywalker, underdog hero
Dolph Ziggler/Cody Rhodes = Han Solo/Lando Calrissian, dashing rogues eventually coerced into fighting the good fight
Big Show = Chewbacca, gentle giant provoked by the evil empire
John Cena = Obi-Wan Kenobi, former hero and mentor, now gone
Triple H = Emperor Palpatine, evil overlord
Randy Orton = Darth Vader, champion of the Dark Side, former hero and friend/rival of Obi-Wan
The Shield = Boba Fett and other hired bounty hunters
All we need are Princess Leia and Yoda and we're good. Someone (perhaps the man himself) should update the Raw is Star Wars pics from wrestlingfan.com.
Can't wait for the first Death Star on a Pole Match.

Zack Ryder is Porkins
Hornswoggle is Wicket
and a returning Ric Flair is Count Dooku

still sticking with Miz being Wedge. he's hanging around the main story, pops up a time or two to let you know he's there then vanishes from the scene (just counting the movies, not any of the expanded universe stuff where Wedge gets a boost to main character-dom in Rogue Squadron) and does whatever.
Steph would be Dark Side Leia had she turned- steph is the billion dollar PRINCESS after all. no women on the Imperial side you notice (til Mara Jade showed up and she turned good).
Brad Maddox and Vickie are those imperial officers that are always one mistake away from getting force choked to death.
HBK as Yoda? he's got the hairline for it these days. former friend (prequel 1 and 2 Palpatine)turned rival afterwards (pre-DX reunions part 5-86). trains young Daniel/Luke briefly before he goes off to try and safe the day.

HBK is definitely Yoda. Good call.

NO.
Because all this will lead to is "this angle blows I mean look Luke Skywalker doesn't get the shit beaten out of him for 19 weeks before Han Solo decides to do something about it, I mean Lando and Chewie knew all along" or some way better Star Wars reference I'm not functioning well enough for right now.
The other way sucks too, "oh Frodo didn't something something a ring yet after 40 pages zomg you people no patience" Yesh, because everything, especially pro wrestling, should be as boring and egregiously slow paced as the god damned Lord of the Rings.
This is it's own story. It's not Star Wars, it't not Hamlet, it's not the Bible, it's not a Simpsons episode.

I'm reminded of Cena cutting that promo comparing everyone in the Johnny Ace angle to Star Wars characters.

And then HHH as himself.
And he's going over.
"Hey you're not even in this movie!"
"This is what's best for business"
