I'm with Karl on putting The Shield back together. They are far more valuable together than apart. Roman Reigns flopped as top face, Rollins didn't work as top heel and it looks like his face push is going lop-sided, and Dean Ambrose is getting long in the tooth.

I also completely agree that the brand split was unnecessary. It's weird that it didn't occur to the WWE to try making SmackDown good before they went that route. It's easy to get excited about a split due to the draft, the possibilities the mind goes through -- seeing teams sorted is fun -- but Karl is completely right when he says that you don't need to have people on every week.

You can still give each show its own hook. Mauro's commentary seems to be something that people enjoy. Put him with a Daniel Bryan and let them provide that "safe listening experience" on SmackDown. You can do the flippy cruiser stuff on RAW, Enzo & Cass can do their shtick exclusively on SmackDown for a few weeks, Cesaro can have matches there for a few weeks, etc. You can shake up each show's feel without locking certain people into specific roles and needing to bring back the likes of Jinder Mahal and Curt Hawkins to pad out your roster.
