Smackdown is just so much better than Raw. Smackdown has made Slater and Ryno interesting, has made AJ Styles lose 3 times to James Ellsworth yet looking stronger than ever, and has a midcard title that's constantly got exposure and big feeling matches for it. Raw meanwhile can't make Sami Zayn interesting, can't allow their top faces to look bad ever, and has a midcard title that's been defended like 10 times in 9 months or something and is currently an afterthought for a universal title feud.
It's crazy given how much better the Raw roster is. And I know Vince does both shows. It really might just be the third hour effect.
I think it also has to do with RAW being the MAIN show, but yea, SD is great at keeping their product interesting despite a massive talent disparity.
