I am going to predict Enzo and Cass go to SD. The New Day are in the feud with the Revival and the Hardys are the tag champs. Needless to say, the Raw tag division is babyface loaded.

Keeping Styles despite all that they've lost to RAW... I'd still call that a net gain for SmackDown.

They didn't lose AJ, so I consider tonight a huge success for Smackdown. They'll get a couple good pieces tomorrow night.

It will balance out tomorrow. During the initial brand split SmackDown wasn't live and wasn't on USA for most of it (or any of it, I can't remember.) USA not being happy with SmackDown'svratings is why they did the split again and made SmackDown live. The network and the TV deal are the only things keeping WWE profitable. They need to keep USA happy.

I don't think it's really going to matter who goes to sdl. There writers are good enough to make their wrestlers look better.

I'm not seeing the worry on the SDL side. We clearly weren't going to find out who is leaving Raw, so let's wait and see how tomorrow goes.
Styles didn't appear, which gives me the feeling he's staying put. A Top 4 of Orton, Nakamura, Styles & Owens is pretty solid.

And as usual smack down gets ramraided, and it's best stars replaced by a pile of elephant shit.
You already have a farm league, use it.

Going from Ambrose to Nakamura as the top face on SD Live is a considerable upgrade.

The move of The Miz to raw makes Nakamura's debut weirder. That would have been the perfect feud for him. Perhaps I am being a mark, but I wonder if the heat with Bryan and Cena forced a move.
I think Charlotte, Enzo and Cass, and Owens move. Maybe Emma and or Dana too. I think Sheamus and Cesaro should move since they can add depth as singles or a tag team on a show that needs it.
I am happy AJ stayed on SDL.

Did you come from the future and that's how you know Smackdown got shit picks? Because I'm pretty sure we still have to wait until tomorrow. Like, Smackdown still has Styles AND Nakamura so I don't understand why anyone would be complaining about them losing anything. The only real big loss, I thought, was Miz and Owens will be a fine replacement for him if they get him.

Let's see who they've still actually got before they send new people over...
Main Eventers: Orton (WWE Champion) Styles Cena (inactive)
Upper Midcarders/Fringe Main Eventers: Corbin Nakamura
Midcarders: Harper Ziggler Rawley Ryder (inactive) Dillinger Rowan Kane (inactive)
Tag Teams: The Usos (Tag Team Champions) American Alpha Breezango The Ascension
Lower Carders: English Ellsworth
Women: Naomi (Women's Champion) Lynch N. Bella (inactive) Natalya Carmella Eva Marie (inactive)
Get some RAW talents in, and they're right back in it.

Eh the only thing I'm up upset about is Smackdown losing The Miz. Dean Ambrose has been spinning his wheels on SDL recently that he went from inaugural champion to Wrestlemania preshow foddler. Bray Wyatt was mishandled on Smackdown and will continue being mishandled on Raw so what's new? Raw is finally rebuilding their women's division. Kalisto is now on 205 Live, Curt Hawkins will continue jobbing but will be featured more since Raw has more times for jobbers, and Apollo Crews will continue being Apollo Crews.
Kevin Owen's seems to be confirmed but I'm sure SD will get Reigns or Rollins, Strowman, The New Day or Enzo and Cass, The Club, Charlotte or Sasha, Dana or Emma, Cien, Samoa Joe, Bo Dallas

SD keeping AJ, Cena and Nak was key.
If they add Owens and possibly Zayn and a tag team or two? Thats a fun roster

Since apparently all the stars will be on SDL tomorrow...I'm sure this won't be some simple "ok we got our people now you can get yours" type of situation. Something seems weird about it because honestly SDL might have an advantage since in theory they can take some of their stars back who were drafted. In theory, they can do what they want. It just makes no sense really. They didn't explain the rules so it's all confusing so we'll see.
With that said, I won't be surprised to hear Styles say "sorry guys I'm on Raw" tomorrow as a heel troll move. I really wish they explained how this works.

Honestly, Nakamura for me has been a story where he came in with one fantastic match and ever since has done nothing but bore the hell out of me.

Really I don't think this is a gutting but rather we were caught off guard by the randomness once again. Raw needs to rebuild there women's division badly and Smackdown needs to rebuild there tag division badly. Raw took 2 women from Smackdown but only 1 tag team from Smackdown and Heath Slater & Rhyno have been cold since November. I expect Smackdown to take 2 tag teams from Raw from the combination of (New Day, Enzo and Cass, The Club) and 1 woman probably Sasha or Charlotte.
Plus Owens seems guaranteed and Owens vs. Nakamura sounds incredible.

Hopefully to Smackdown: Seth Rollins Kevin Owens Samoa Joe Sami Zayn Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows or New Day Enzo and Big Cass Charlotte Emma
Also would say Roman Reigns, but he's now in a story with BRAUUUUUN, unless he goes to SD too.
