7 Reasons Asuka Should Be Moving To WWE SmackDown Live

2. RAW Has A Bad NXT Record

Neither show has covered itself in glory in this regard, but RAW has a particularly bad record when it comes to booking dominant NXT superstars. A number of former NXT Champions have seen their stock plummet on the flagship show, from Bayley and Sasha Banks all the way to Finn Bálor, Bo Dallas, and Sami Zayn (prior to his move to SmackDown).

The blue show hasn’t exactly done an incredible job of booking NXT stars, but there have been success stories. Kevin Owens is currently embroiled in the main story on the show, whilst Baron Corbin, Becky Lynch, Carmella and others have been treated like major stars.

RAW doesn’t inspire major confidence when it comes to booking those who made their name in NXT. SmackDown seems like a much better place for those who experienced success at Full Sail University.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
