Because the product is shit. No, Raw is shit. SDL has been fine and NXT is on fire. One brand doesn’t equal the whole product, regardless the impact of ratings, if Raw is the main show, etc. Plus, the shows have been pretty competent these last two or so weeks. I agree with this. When people talk about The product being shit, the complaints are usually from Raw which is pretty justified, it's been pretty terrible. (Although this last Raw was pretty good honestly). But for real, Smackdown and NXT has been great these past few Month and to a lesser extent 205 Live has been pretty watchable aswell.

Smackdown has been better than RAW for years, but it never makes a difference to WWE. Given the chance, they always make it clear that Raw is the priority, and if that's the case, then Raw's quality can be justifiably used to assess the quality of the product. WWE create the standards by which they can be judged. They present Raw as their flagship brand, so if it's shit, it can represent the company as a whole.

Doesn't mean the actual Smackdown product is shit thought.(although there has been exceptions ex: 2017). If the show has been constantly good, who cares how the company presents them as. All that will change by the end of the year anyways

I don’t know, they’ve had John Cena and Randy Orton on the show plus Jeff Hardy and others. You could argue that they took it away in 2017 but it seemed like they did that in order to try and build up new people (granted it wasn’t the best decision.) Also, it’s a bit much to judge the whole product based on one specific show just because they make it seem like they only care about that one particular show.

Which was completly forgotten about by the next night anyways. What about both rumble winners picking Smackdown titles to fight for last year, Smackdown's woman's division main-eventing TLC. There's been other situations where Smackdown was Favored over Raw. Again, if WWE is presenting Raw as the only thing that matters than well ok, good for them. If it makes Smackdown the better product than so be it

I don't want...
This awful Ambrose heel run to continue. Face turn the sooner the better unless WWE seriously improve his booking.
Kofi Kingston to win the Rumble and win the title. I find this movement baffling honestly. Big E is the guy Vince would push anyway.
WWE to return to Saudi Arabia
Undertaker, Kane & HBK to return to the ring
John Cena getting a sustained main event push and sticking around for a while.
Baron Corbin in a featured position
Almas talking on the mic
WWE to drop the ball on Velveteen Dream.

Samoa Joe or Nakamora lose big matches. Shane wrestling... period. Charlotte being pushed at the expense of Becky. Sasha/Bayley and the IIconics doing nothing for year
