Well they've let a lot of wrestlers go due to financial factors but the brands still have clear identities. ECW is actually gaining a stronger one.
If you were looking at it from a perspective of someone hoping that the brand split would end, I guess you could point to the fact that wrestlers are showing up all over the place (although could be pointed out as the run up to WM), the draft is due where the picks will show if the brands are still strong individually (ECW especially) but the fact that the draft is happening makes you think that they will y'know actually keep the brands. There are a few matches at Wrestlemania that could lead to unifications, the tag team titles being the obvious, this Miss Wrestlemania could lead to a unification to the womens titles but nothing major really.
These are slight occurences that could be taken as a hint of the end of the brand split but to be honest, I don't think it will happen as the current format is working well for them from a business standpoint. I also think that we will hear in advance about it happening if it ever was to.
