WWE Raw : Which show is better, Smackdown or Raw

Smackdown with three title matches, a title change, and a great triple threat match far the better.

Not Raw with way too many permutations of Owens and Jericho fighting Rollins and Reigns. Mostly to no purpose at all.

Smackdown Raw is too repetitive.

Smackdown by a landslide

Smackdown is overall probably the better show, but if you put them in a position where they had to go for 3 hours I don't think they'd fare any better than Raw does. If Raw was a 2 hour show this would be a debate as they have enough good stuff going on there to fill a shorter show.

I think the Owens/Jericho/Rollins/Reigns thing is sort of forgivable since it only really started a month or two ago, no? On Smackdown we had Ambrose and Styles and Miz and Ziggler feuding, each rivalry went on for months, and now they've literally just switched opponents and started the feuds up again. Why is Dolph Ziggler, who just lost a feud for the Intercontinental title Now fighting for the World title??

If you recall they gave Raw more talent, if you count bodies, than Smackdown.

The thing is, it seems like the matchmaking on Smackdown is more imaginative. I get confused with Raw. Which title is on the line when Reigns fights Owens. And now that Reigns is fighting Owens agains, which title is on the line.

Don't you think that Jericho will get out of the shark tank and interfere? If he doesn't, where's the fun in that. And if he does and Owens gets DQed, that will be the umpteenth time we've seen that happen.

Jesus Christ how many times is this question going to be asked!

The second half of 2016 on Smackdown, basically since the brand split, has been the most interested I've been in wrestling in the past 15 years. The only thing I've found consistently entertaining on Raw is JeriKO and even that's died down a bit over the past month.

Smackdown just basically had a PPV in TV. Also, they the main event had one of if not the best spot of the year.

Smackdown.

They focus on more women and the women stand out more.

The midcard title scene is better. The U.S. title lost relevance since Reigns won it.

I'm not into Daniel Bryan as GM that much because of how unfair he is to heels sometimes (not punishing Dean Ambrose for defying orders, allowing AJ to be cheated out of a match, making Alexa give rematches to people she just beat). However, at least Daniel and Shane don't overexpose themselves or overshadow others.

Aside from the Vaudevillains being underused, I'd give Smackdown the edge in the tag title scene. Heath and Rhyno were an odd pairing, yet they ran with it while it was hot. Goldust and Truth was something that they teased for too long with some of the segments being bad, and when they teamed they constantly lost. Gallows and Anderson lost too too many title shots, and were in bad segments to the point where they have to be built back up.

The main event has more range to it. Styles looks like more a threat than Owens. The use of John Cena has been interesting, I didn't expect Ambrose to beat him. Since moving to Smackdown, his matches have more suspense. More guys are allowed to use the main event to help themselves elevate.

The announcing is equal. I love listening to Mauro and Corey, JBL is entertaining for the most part. David and Byron are two of the worst announcers in a long time. Corey snapping on Byron is what makes him tolerable. David Otunga doesn't add anything.


Reboot, restart or re-imagining is another word for remake

That is a hard one. I would Smackdown with the Men's Division and Raw with the Women's Division but Charlotte really needs to go as champion so they can focus on other wrestlers.
