Why not have RAW and SmackDown! alternate shows? Have a new name created for each brand, then have one of the brands (say RAW) has its talent appear on RAW, SmackDown!, Heat and Velocity for that week. Have the other brand (SmackDown! in this case) do house shows for that week. The following week things are swapped around, so RAW and SmackDown! feature SD! superstars, while RAW goes on a house show tour for the week.
It's a nice thought, but here's the problem I see with that (if I understand you correctly).

-RAW/SD are already shown on different networks. Lots of people only get to see 1 brand.

-In a lot of cases, people would have to go 2 weeks without seeing either the "Raw brand" or the "Smackdown brand". As a result, interest for PPV's would probably be pretty low.
