10 Reasons Why RAW Is Quickly Becoming WWE's B-Show
8. SmackDown Live Pay-Per-Views Have Been Better
Looking back at the SmackDown produced WWE Network events since last July's brand split, and the following highlights come to mind: AJ Styles and Bray Wyatt winning their first WWE Championships; Dolph Ziggler's potential career-ending match against The Miz; Heath Slater & Rhyno winning SmackDown's Tag Team Championships; Randy Orton joining the Wyatt Family and winning the tag team titles; the return of Elimination Chamber; Naomi winning the SmackDown Women's Championship twice - and, of course, Jinder Mahal becoming WWE Champion.
Compare those developments to the RAW events from the same time period. Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins engaged in a tiresome feud that lacked any type of conclusion, Charlotte and Sasha Banks traded wins (and RAW Championships) like it was a hot potato that nobody wanted. Roman Reigns continued to be front and center, Sheamus and Cesaro formed a tag team, and Goldberg won the Universal Championship in 23 seconds.
Judging by the Pay-Per-View developments alone, SmackDown has produced the more compelling and entertaining product. This isn't to say RAW has lacked any interesting developments, but when compared to the talents and freshness of the blue brand, RAW has been left in the dust.
