Coming out of the 2024 WWE draft, there's little doubt Raw emerged as the superior show over SmackDown.
The red brand recruited the likes of Ilja Dragunov, Bron Breakker and Rey Mysterio while retaining top stars such as Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Gunther, The Judgment Day and Sheamus.
However, SmackDown was left with a star-studded roster in its own right. The blue brand now boasts The Bloodline, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, Logan Paul and Randy Orton, among others.
Carmelo Hayes, Blair Davenport and Baron Corbin being brought up from NXT also adds some fresh blood to its ranks. Additionally, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller have a hold on a deep tag team division and the women's scene is stacked.
