So I mentioned I might try something like this in the near future, and I quit my job two days ago, so I'm bored out of my mind. I just created the entire WWE roster, and I am going to play a little fantasy booking/I'm fuckin bored.
Basically, it is a roster merge, starting with a huge 32 man tournament to crown the new WWE Champion ending at King of the Ring. All first round matchups will be Smackdown v Raw, and that will be the last mention of any roster split. The rules I'm going with, is I can use anyone currently active (no taker, rock, austin) and cannot add anyone, but I can get rid of anyone I want (Vito, for instance). So, without further ado, lets have a look at the brackets. I went through and logically ranked the top 16 from both RAW and Smackdown according to where they are right now in TV world. I might get tired of this quick, so uhhh, comment or something.
Here are the rankings:

1. John Cena
2. Angle
3. Flair
4. Triple H
5. HBK
6. Kane

10. Carlito
11. Conway
12. Eugene
13. Snitsky
14. Val Venis
15. Tajiri

Smackdown Rankings:
