7. The Only Time Smackdown Was A Ratings Equal To Raw Was With Brock Lesnar
The Smackdown of 2002 and 2003 was a fantastic wrestling show. Part of the reason was because Paul Heyman was on the creative team, and another reason was the stacked roster that the blue brand benefited from. One of the most pushed wrestlers on the roster was Brock Lesnar. He dominated Smackdown from 2002 to 2003. Coincidentally or not coincidentally, Smackdown ratings actually ended up rivalling Raw ratings during this period. It is further proof of the star draw that Lesnar is. When he's on television, people are compelled to watch. He's something special, with tv ratings and pay per view buys proving this fact whether it was in the WWE or UFC.
