Keep the two rosters.
Raw becomes just what the name says RAW. A hardcore, after 9pm, reckless cable show full of blood and violence and adult storylines. This show/brand would be oriented towards violent and would have more storylines that deal with sex and violence and some sick characters for heels. Tougher "faces"...just an all out adult brand. It would be rated for an adult audience. The Divas on RAW would be eye candy only.
Smackdown becomes a completely athletic centered show with wrestling as the #1 issue. There would be no hardcore wrestlers on the brand and faces and heels will be more traditional good and bad guys rather than Raw where everyone is shades of gray and realistic, Smackdown will be the show for the athletes. Here the Divas would wrestle. There will be no cursing or brutal violence on Smackdown.
I would keep cross over from the shows at an absolute minimum like when the split first started. But, lets say a feud gets hot on Smackdown. The two guys hate each other so much that they wanna face each other in a last man match. Well for that they can jump to RAW for a night or two and fight in brutal matches. Same thing with Raw wrestlers who wanna settle things "by the rules". It would be the best of both worlds imo. Raw for those who like hardcore adult violent wrestling and WWF like storylines and Smackdown for those who like PG era storylines and technical wrestling focus.
Also since the rosters would be so seperate it would be amazing when one guy meets a guy from another brand especially a big star. Also I would leave the same amount of wrestlers on the roster.
