Cody Rhodes working both Raw and Smackdown as Champion?

[The Rick Jericho]

He's travelled to both shows so far this week.

Would you like to see this continue with him being the champion that crosses both brands to look for challengers and takes up all comers?

Or should he be brand exclusive to one show?

We had this experiment only happen from April 2002 to September 2002 until Raw got their own title.

It was to mixed results for the champion to float on both shows.

Dude is a megastar, use him on both shows to heat things up.

[simplydurhamcalling]

Keep him on one show, if he's on both all the time the shine will only wear off faster. It might help Priest's title actually mean something eventually too.

[Lance Uppercut]

Probably waiting until the draft until a hard split again

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

There would be no point to Priest's title but I'd be down for it if they unified those belts.

Two shows a week could backfire and become overexposure.

Leave them wanting more, not less.

Judging by the past two shows, he’s likely, for now, just gonna be limited to a segment or two per show.

Cody is a megastar and WWE need to capitalise on that, so I would have him on both shows, but I totally understand the arguement of having him on one show and keep them wanting more. And boy do the fans want more of Cody.

[Jindrak Mark]

For the next 2 weeks sure but after the draft/Backlash I think Cody should be one show and Priest should be on the other.

I'm 50/50 on what show he ends up on. Smackdown is still the bigger show for now but they might want him officially on Raw ahead of the Netflix debut.

I think maybe Cody stays on Raw and Priest/Judgment Day move to Smackdown.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

No, having him on both will devalue Priest and basically make clear that his world title is second rate.

Now the 'Mania aftermath has settled down, once a week is fine,

[Hypnosis]

One show, so that Priest can still look important.

If Priest's title is ever going to be anything other than the Roman cheats too hard consolation prize, it needs to be on a show that the WWE champion isn't on.

[ben:friendship frog]

I'm torn, because I think he needs to be on RAW heading into the netflix era is clearly gonna be the A show again.

Priest on Smackdown would be good too but I don't think you split Judgment Day, so I don't know.

[Deleted]

If he is going to work both shows it just makes Priests's title all the more redundent and worthless since he himself would only be relegated to Raw.

[polarbearpete]

Judgment Day to Smackdown. Cody to Raw. Bayley to Raw.

[XIII]

It’s good right now because you want a super popular guy and the guy that ended Roman’s everlong reign to really hammer that point home. After the draft he can just go to one show.

I think he should be LVL UP exclusive and only show up in the crowd during male wrestler main events. That way his challengers will never find him and attempt to take his title
