Feel like that's "not big enough" for Slater, though. Need a better way to get him on a show since he's a free agent.

Feel like Slater could "snap" and become "super legit"/bad ass submission machine....

Can be the "JBL" of the draft split..... where all of a sudden he gets a character change and is pushed to the moon.

I hope Heath Slater stumbles upon Jinder Mahal during his travels too.
Slater should go on a WWE-recorded excursion to different places in the world, bringing back with him a bunch of guys who had been in WWE previously, to form a new group to replace the Social Outcasts. It could be quite hilarious, and give legitimate reasoning behind some talents who didn't accomplish a whole lot being brought back. |

Kinda smacks of late 2007, early 2008 with the whole Edgeheads thing...not sure I want to see that ever again.

Loved the Edge Heads but that time has passed. Hawkins has been working for GFW and held the TNA Tag Team titles last year when GFW invaded TNA. Wouldn't mind him returning and teaming with Ryder. Could have Ryder turn heel on Mojo and team with Hawkins. Hardly recognized him on Impact last year, has gotten old.

I'd also be okay with the WWE signing Justin Gabriel back and putting him back with Heath Slater, but there are probably better things the WWE can do with Slater.

Yeah, he does look older. He was 24 when he was heavily featured on WWE programming.

According to PWI, WWE might be considering allowing a few wrestlers from each brand to appear on the other brand shows with next week planned for that to happen and maybe extend for a few more weeks till Summerslam.

I will say, though, one thing I did enjoy about the Edge-Heads was their theme ("In the Middle of it Now").

Orton and Brock are the only ones unless they do more inter-brand matches. Guess it depends on what they're doing with the World Title, Women's Title, and Tag Titles. Have they said whether those titles are brand exclusive or not?

I assume they are exclusive to the show that drafted them. The WWE title will go to Raw if Rollins or Reigns wins.

I've got a feeling that Carlito will be joining the WWE very soon to align with The Shining Stars to do battle against The New Day.

That would actually be a very entertaining match. New Day should go over, but make The Shining Stars credible by having a hard fought contest. Have them trade victories and culminate @ Summerslam in a 3v3 title match.

So one of these supposed "equal" brands will be without any world champion? Not that it matters, even if both brands each have their own world title, Raw will still be treated as the premier brand. Always has been, always will be, as long as Vince is in charge. I don't even have a problem with Raw being treated superior in theory, just don't pretend like Smackdown brand and titles are somehow equal to Raw despite the obvious evidence to the contrary.

It more or less is the holder of the title. If Cena is the SD champ and Reigns is the Raw champ Dena will be looked at as the superior champion by most. I think Raw comes out Battleground as the WWE title that will leave SD to create new World, Tag, and Women's championships.

It seems like they are setting things up so that the WWE Title ends up on RAW and then SmackDown will create its own belts, but I'm actually not sure they won't just implement floating champions but the champion has a home. So if Roman Reigns wins the WWE Title at SummerSlam, he'll appear on SmackDown, but when he loses it he goes back to RAW. I imagine it's very up in the air.

Creating belts puts SD heavily on the back foot vs Raw who will have all the lineage of the current belts. I can see Roman being pinned by both Ambrose and Rollins, leading to them splitting the belt. At least that way they can claim that the lineage splits.

Would love for Ambrose to pin Reigns and have Steph go on a rampage on how Reigns cost Raw the title.

And I really hope they have floating belts. As much as I do want the brands to not interact, it's WAY better to have one world champ, one tag champ and one divas champ to rule those divisions instead of watering it all down by having one champ who only rules half the company and another who rules the other half. The two world champion era was shit for so many reasons. |

I was expecting all those Shooting Star vignettes where they were walking around PR to end with them saying something like "This is the shining star of the Caribbean", and then you'd hear "Now that, that's...cool" and Carlito would be sat on a lounger or something.
