For me, one of the biggest moves that needed to be made with the 2016 WWE Draft was separating John Cena and Roman Reigns. While they have yet to come in contact and are bound to cross paths eventually, there is no need for that money match to transpire any time soon, and it's more important that they be kept apart in the meantime.

As noted, Cena was the top dog on Raw for well over a decade, so his move to SmackDown opens up that coveted spot to the rest of the roster. With WWE champion Dean Ambrose on the blue brand as well, that means Reigns will likely replace Cena as the biggest babyface on Monday nights for the time being.

Granted, the reactions he receives regularly aren't befitting of those of a major fan favourite, and Rollins is due a big babyface run at some point as well. Although he is coming off a month-long suspension, don't at all expect that to change his status in the company, and instead look for him to resume his reign as Raw's top face for the foreseeable future.

Believe that.
