They won't beat NXT ratings for more that the first week....the build up to this has been abysmal.

ETA

Think about the Monday night wars from around 97-98. Some of the WWF's biggest stars were Stone Cold, Owen Hart, Golddust, Marlena, HHH, Ron Simmons (Farooq), and Mick Foley. A few years later this group grew to Rey Mysterio Jr, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, and Eddie Guerrero. Those guys all held pretty good spots in WCW at one point in time. I listened to a podcast a while back that the main reason they all left was that WWF/E could make them much bigger stars than could WCW.

That still holds true today when it comes to AEW and WWE. WWE can create big stars way easier than can AEW (look at what has gone on with Bray Wyatt...nobody in AEW is close not even MJF). I mean lets face it is anyone on the AEW roster close to getting a role in the Fast and the Furious series?...hell no. Is anyone in AEW close to headlining their own series on a major cable network?...hell no. I mean say what you want about Reigns and Miz but the WWE has basically made them multi-millionaires many times over....eventually some of the guys in AEW (like Adam Page) will want that money that AEW will never really be able to get them. Sure they will get nice salaries but they aren't going to get anybody on John Cena's level.

If the Fiend goes to Smackdown then WWE needs to really figure out how to make RAW a strong B show and not a C show. Because if they put all the stars on Smackdown then not only will people not tune into RAW but wrestlers will view being on RAW as an insult.

I get FOX wants there to be the big names on the Smackdown roster but there needs to be balance.
