Did you know that the rosters are still split up into Raw and Smackdown on WWE.com? Kind of funny how sparse the Smackdown "roster" is these days.

Here's Raw:
A.J.
Alex Riley
Alexander Rusev
Batista
Big E
Big Show
Billy Gunn
Brad Maddox
Bray Wyatt
Brie Bella
Brock Lesnar
Brodus Clay
Byron Saxton
Cameron
Cesaro
CM Punk
Curtis Axel
Daniel Bryan
David Otunga
Dean Ambrose
Diego
Dolph ZIggler
Dwayne The Rock Johnson
El Torito
Emma
Erick Rowan
Evan Bourne
Fandango
Fernando
Hulk Hogan
Jack Swagger
Jason Albert
John Cena
JTG
Justin Roberts
Kane
Kofi Kingston
Lana
Luke Harper
The Miz
Mr. McMahon
Naomi
Nikki Bella
Paul Heyman
R-Truth
Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio
Ricardo Rodriguez
Road Dogg
Roman Reigns
Ryback
Santino Marella
Seth Rollins
Summer Rae
Tamina Snuka
Triple H
Xavier Woods
Zack Ryder

And here's Smackdown:
Alberto Del Rio
Alicia Fox
Bad News Barrett
Camacho
Christian
Cody Rhodes
Curt Hawkins
Damien Sandow
Darren Young
Drew McIntyre
Ezekiel Jackson
Goldust
Great Khali
Heath Slater
Hornswoggle
Hunico
Jey Uso
Jimmy Uso
Jinder Mahal
Justin Gabriel
Layla
Natalya
Renee Young
Rosa Mendes
Sheamus
Sin Cara
Theodore Long
Titus O’Neill
Tyson Kidd
Undertaker
Vickie Guerrero
William Regal
Yoshi Tatsu

The Usos, Cody & Goldust, Christian, and Sheamus are like the only consistently active people on the Smackdown roster. Interesting how Goldust was added to Smackdown but pretty much every other new person was added to Raw.

Just an observation on a boring day off. Sorry if this is a Cody Rhodes Diva type thread.

When you play WWE 2K14 with the separate rosters on each show, Smackdown is pretty weak. At least the Undertaker is back, if only for one match.

But yeah; the brand split was so good whilst it lasted, especially when there was an invasion between brands.

I honestly wish they would go back to enforcing the brand split. I liked the idea that each show had their own distinct rosters and style, and it made it seem like a big deal whenever they interacted in cross-brand matches, plus it have more opportunities to more guys to be on TV and win titles.

Interesting to see that there are still technically Raw and Smackdown rosters.

I don't think they need to enforce the brand split to get more guys on TV. They just need to realize that everyone doesn't need to be on every show. When the brand split ended basically all the TV time went to the established main eventers. We would get Orton, Henry, Kane, Big Show, Sheamus, Rey, Del Rio, Miz and Ziggler on both shows. SmackDown's main event scene became RAW's midcard and there was just little to no room for the real midcarders. A lot of talents' depushes coincided with the end of the brand split. I think a casual split with some crossover and trying to minimize the amount of double bookings in a week could help.

Why would I make something so stupid up? Go to the roster page and then, in the options, select "Raw" or "Smackdown."

Actually, Epico and Primo were recently removed. It sure took them a long time to remove them since they were up as Los Matadores as well.

And Renee Young is on both the RAW and Smackdown rosters. She is money.
