WWE Raw vs. SmackDown: Which Brand Has the Better Roster Right Now? | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The unification of the WWE and Universal Championship at WrestleMania 38 by Roman Reigns threw the main event pictures on Raw and SmackDown into disarray.

The Tribal Chief is, and always has been, the top dog in WWE, but him essentially taking the titles to SmackDown has apparently left the Superstars of Raw nothing to fight for. It has yet to be confirmed if  Reigns can float between brands, but if he remains exclusive to Friday nights, Raw will drop in quality until a world championship is restored to the show.

However, Reigns pulling double duty for now is needed seeing as how SmackDown doesn't have many viable main-eventers at the moment. Gunther could be one eventually, but with Big E out injured, The New Day and Sheamus being relegated to the tag team ranks and Ricochet being booked poorly, that leaves hardly anyone at the top of the card except for Drew McIntyre and possibly Shinsuke Nakamura.

Raw, on the other hand, has much more variety with its headliners. Bobby Lashley is considered the top babyface at the moment, Cody Rhodes is being built up, AJ Styles and Edge are available at any time, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens are excellent heels, and the likes of Riddle, Randy Orton, Finn Balor, Austin Theory and Damian Priest can always be elevated.

Even without a world title, Raw has a stronger main event scene, and adding Reigns to the mix (assuming he'll be able to appear while undisputed WWE universal champion) only makes it that much better.
