I am simply looking at the prospects for each new wrestler to a brand and whether or not this is a positive move for them. Expect the same in my Pause on Smackdown tomorrow.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Dean Ambrose &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The man with the worst nickname in WWE comes to Raw with the Intercontinental Championship and a real lack of momentum. Ambrose was WWE Champion when the initial WWE Draft happened and was Smackdown\u2019s first pick. At one point, he looked to be the future centerpiece of the brand, but aside from a compelling series of matches with AJ Styles, Ambrose has floundered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of this is a staleness of character. Ambrose is the wacky irreverent jerk you want to cheer. This type of character doesn\u2019t last long, especially as the wackiness is ratcheted up. A character shift in the future could be huge for Dean. Ever since The Shield dissolved, we haven\u2019t seen Dean as a lead antagonist. I assume at some point (should Reigns and Rollins stay on Raw) we\u2019ll see a Shield reunion, which could be a launching point for Evil Ambrose to come out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raw gives Dean an opportunity to change and he needs it after a less than stellar 8 months on Smackdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Miz and Maryse &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the change I have the most qualms about. In 2016, The Miz became a standout performer for the second time in his WWE career. He elevated himself to main event status on Smackdown and was able to shine on one of Smackdown\u2019s best features: Talking Smack. The Miz changed the narrative about him in the last year and now leaves the creative team who got behind him. This worries me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miz also comes to a show where he doesn\u2019t have as natural as a protagonist. Daniel Bryan always provided a backdrop for Miz\u2019s insults. Their amazing chemistry when improvisationally insulting each other was perfect. Who can be this positive force for Miz to press against? Who can he fight? Raw is also a more talent dense brand, which could lead to Miz being cast aside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not completely down on a change of scenery for Miz and Maryse, who have been a consistent highlight of WWE programming over the last year, but I hope it comes with elevation for Miz and not a demotion. He\u2019s too good to waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bray Wyatt &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I feel like I\u2019m in the minority when it comes to online opinions about Bray Wyatt. I don\u2019t think he is not talented, but I don\u2019t find him to be especially talented. A large part of this comes from the way he is frequently used. Wyatt constantly gets built up as both a mythical figure and a threat, but often loses the first major match after this happens. Wyatt has magical powers, which allow him to disappear, turn off the lights, and summon rocking chairs. These powers don\u2019t allow him to win matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, no matter where Bray Wyatt ended up, I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d be excited. He\u2019s a cool entrance, a unique promo styles, and evidence of how poor WWE storytelling can be. Raw is a fresh environment for Bray, which is great, but I don\u2019t expect Bray Wyatt to be much more than he already is.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-2146337573\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>Alexa Bliss &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has anyone been a bigger surprise since the WWE Draft than Alexa Bliss? I had almost no expectations for her when she was brought to Smackdown, but she has constantly performed above what I perceived her ability to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexa enters into a women\u2019s division in flux on Raw. It looks like Charlotte, who has dominated the division as the main antagonist, is leaving (or turning). Nia Jax is en route to becoming the monster she should always be. Sasha Banks seems to be slow burning towards being Bayley\u2019s biggest foe. Where does Alexa fit in?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bliss gives the Raw Women\u2019s roster some much needed depth and ability to tell more stories at one time. She\u2019s been an amazing get for Smackdown and I believe WWE has a ton of confidence in her. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how Alexa outperforms expectations this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mickie James &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since returning to WWE in the La Luchadora costume, James has fallen flat. She was a sidekick for Alexa, then seemed to become her own human just in time for WrestleMania. This was all very strange. Mickie James is very talented and can work as either a good person or bad person in WWE\u2019s stories. She\u2019s a versatile performer, but she also needs some consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe the Raw women need a secondary or tertiary protagonist more than they need another antagonist. Bayley needs some tag match partners, especially with Evil Emma and Alexa coming to town. James can be the legendary mentor to the current roster and fulfill her potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kalisto &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kalisto should have been in the Cruiserweight Division from the very beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Apollo Crews &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I expected Crews to be an instant stand-out performer post-draft after being fast-tracked through NXT to the main roster. This did not happen. Sadness ensued. Crews needs a reboot and he needs a personality. Hopefully on Raw, these things can happen for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Rhyno and Heath Slater &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the first ever Smackdown Tag Team Champions to possibly the lowest tag team on the Raw totem pole. Hey, at least Slater got that above ground pool. These guys are good enhancement tag team wrestlers, so I don\u2019t plan to be upset about this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Curt Hawkins &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He\u2019s an enhancement wrestler there to get heat, lose, and fill out house shows. Hawkins will do all of these things well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cThe Drifter\u201d Elias Sampson &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, he didn\u2019t light the world on fire in NXT, but I think there\u2019s potential for The Drifter as a weird heel on Raw. Starting with him drifting through the background is perfect.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-1682531056\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>Predictions for Smackdown &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(I\u2019m going to wish I hadn\u2019t published this tomorrow) Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Andrade Almas, Charlotte Flair, Rusev and Lana, Gallows and Anderson, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay, Bo Dallas, Titus O\u2019Neil, and Goldust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Wrestler I\u2019m overjoyed didn\u2019t get moved &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AJ Styles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Got thoughts on this show or my review of it?
