I like the idea of having 2 PPV a month. Might bring back some of the old WCW PPVs like Starrcade, Halloween Havok, and Great American Bash. If it's going to bring more live wrestling content to the WWE Network I'm all for it.

According to the Observer, multiple ppvs per month could start as early as this September.
Adding more fuel to this rumor likely being true is Lawler at last year's Superman Celebration event had teased about WWE plans for Smackdown to go live in the near future. Also might be a big sign of the rumors teasing at the World title (or whatever it will be called on Smackdown) coming back are likely true as well. |

Only way this works is if they legit run Raw & Smackdown as if they were 2 separate entities completely. No intermingle, no champions moving show-to-show, no referencing each other at all. It should be Raw. It should be Smackdown. They need to compete against each other & have 2 separate feels to the show. Otherwise, forget it.

Agree with rockman, I dont even want them to the Raw and Smacdown Rewinds that they used to do. Thats why I don't mind Smackdown going to 3 hours and have a PPV every month, if they want Smackdown to compete with Raw it needs to be 3 hours and treated just as important as Raw but with a different feel.

Over-exposure is kind of a problem already though. I's prefer one PPV every other month for each brand. Forces them to try to stretch out feuds instead of running through everything in a couple months like they did with Cena-Owens. The fewer PPVs there are, the more special each episode of Raw/Smackdown become.

Simple Fan has a good idea, but they should move RAW back to two hours instead of moving SmackDown to three.

If the rosters are split and they don't do a lot of cross overs I don't think that will be a problem. A 3 hour Raw is going to be looked at as superior to the 2 hour Smackdown. I don't see them dropping the 3rd hour for Raw so might as well add a hour to Smackdown. As for the 2 PPVs a month I think it would be fine and if it adds more live wrestling content to the WWE Network I'm cool with it.

Yeah! Who cares about the quality of the shows as long as there are more shows! That's all that matters!

According to PWI, WWE has been contacting former WWE wrestlers to see if they want to come back and help pad the rosters for the upcoming new Brand Split era.

I wouldn't mind Carlito returning and bring placed with Epico and Primo. Could also see them reaching out to Johnny Mundo to see if he's available to return. Kurt Angle should get a call a well.

Really at this point Vince should just throw a number at Dixie that she can't refuse and take their roster that way he can refill NXT after they raid it. Only a few guys and girls on that roster are main roster worthy. EC3, Lashley, Galloway, Hardys, Eli Drake, Gail Kim, Madison Rayne, Bennett and Maria, and The Wolves are about the only ones I could see on Raw or Smackdown.

Slightly amused by the lack of a Carlito profile on WWE.com.

While it hasn't been confirmed yet, sources close to PWI within the WWE are teasing the rumors of the WWE increasing the amount of ppvs are very likely true.

As far as over-exposure is concerned, with talents becoming exclusive to either brand, the chances of re-hashing matches from Smackdown on RAW will be eliminated. The writing staffs will be compelled to concentrate on a limited roster and make the best of what they're presented with. |

More PPVs = More Content on Network = More perceived value to Network = Increased Network Subscriptions = More Profits for WWE
It has to do with the WWE Network and WWE doing whatever they can to improve the value and profits from the network. The network is their lifeblood now. Quality wise, it will hurt the product unless they completely have a change in philosophy. |

Brand split can be a terrific idea, IF (and this is a big 'IF') the WWE has learned from its past mistakes from over a decade ago.
New stars can be created, but it all depends on how and what the WWE decide to do. |

I don't think adding another PPV will hurt the quality although the quality right now is shit with a great roster. I think splitting this roster and creative not having to worry about every superstar will help the quality. I didn't like it before when they alternated PPV so I'm all for 2 PPVs a month. Like I said the only thing I use the WWE Network for is NXT occasionally and PPVs. I don't care about the other shit they put on it, I just want live wrestling.

In my opinion another PPV added a month brings more value to the Network. They usually do well with PPVs compared to Raw so it would better quality I believe.

Opposite for me. 9 hours of WWE every 2 weeks (6 on non-PPV weeks) is far too much.

I hope that the WWE actually keep the rosters in-tact and don't do "drafts" every 12 months or so. Keep wrestlers on separate shows, commit to the split, and let each show have an identity and create new stars. Have a more 'fierce' rivalry between the shows with wrestlers from each show 'invading' the other show, etc.
Bring back Survivor Series, and make the co-PPV's filled with hate and tension. |

2 PPV's a month could work if the big 4 get bumped to 4 hours apiece and made to be "extra special"....

February PPV = Champ of RAW vs. Champ of Smackdown. Winner gets the shot against the RR winner at Mania.

Bring back KOTR as well
Leading up to KOTR, Raw and Smackdown's GM's can brag that they infact have the next big star in the WWE.
Survivor Series - both GM's brag that their top 5 would destroy the other show's Top 5. The roster split can be a great thing, but I hope the WWE has learned from its past mistakes from 10+ years ago. |

WWE recently filed a claim copyright for "Clash of the Champions." Could be a part of the brand split stuff.

The already have Night of Champions so I a guess they want a PPV for the other show to rival it.

You wouldn't have to watch all 9 hours though. Choose a brand and follow it, if you sour on that brand switch to the other. If they do it right and create two totally different shows it could be pretty good.
