On RAW, which new stars have been created since last July's brand split, besides Braun Strowman? Incidentally, who are the "same old stars" that have continued to hold onto RAW's top spots for the past several years?

Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins. Triple H. Stephanie McMahon.

Monday nights have revolved around these superstars for as long back as can be remembered. Sure, there have been some new faces sprinkled in at times, like Kevin Owens, Finn Bálor, or Goldberg, but whether it was due to bad luck (read: injuries) or Creative's decision to return to the status quo, the aforementioned RAW staples always regain the focal point.

This isn't to say that main event staying power is a bad thing; quite the contrary. The top of the card shouldn't be a turnstile for all wrestlers to come and go as they please, but a little variety, along with some in-depth character development spreading beyond the Golden Children of WWE, would go a long way towards improving the RAW ratings.

As it is, RAW's perception will continue to weaken especially as it pertains to developing new stars.
