The company's soooo much better when you have a strong brand split. At least when one show's shitty the other might theoretically not be.

There’s no reason for it anymore. I loved it back in the day and it was cool up until 2019ish. With the roster being it’s smallest in forever just have everyone on both shows.

Of course they want to end it...you don't need as much talent for 1 roster for both shows...they could conceivably function on a roster of 30-50 people without a split.

It makes sense. It’ll be a matter of time before they do it again. Actually, maybe-maybe-not with how they’ve been trimming the roster. My thing has always been if you do it, commit, like the first time. The wishy washy handling of it is lame. I loved it during the first brand split when they did a rare Raw vs Smackdown match (RVD Benoit at Summerslam, Kane Taker at Mania) they actually announced it as an interpromotional match like it was a big deal.

Will be interesting if this is it. I made a thread a while back out how non-canonical Smackdown was during the 4 year period in between the brand splits. Now that it's on network tv, this will be the first time RAW and Smackdown will share real continuity with each other without a split since 2002

Damn I wanted another Rollins reign and a KO reign before they unified the titles and ended the split. I kind of think that’s doubtful now. Cody I guess won’t win the title till 2023 then

Zarian comes in with..
Spoke with WWE regarding the brand split this morning
WWE source stated that the brand split will not be ending.
However, the current plan is to have more individuals jump from brand to brand depending on storylines.
So that means they won't end it but they might as well end it.

My feeling is that going forward, if you are important to the company, you'll be on TV both Monday and Friday.

This time is even worse since the titles are all unified

Three, Rusev/Lana split. That's it."

Much rather see all the titles be unified and only one roster. Only fear is that not too many women will get a shot at the belt, they need a micard belt whch isn't a tag team one.

This, every time we haven't had a brand split, Smackdown has felt like the Side show, and given how filler-riffic Smackdown has felt the last few months, it's getting there already

I perfer they end the split but they make a rule that no one can wrestle on both shows on the same week. I'm good with this, actually.
