It is a good idea *if* the company holds to the original intent. They never do.

The point of having two rosters was running each show as a separate entity. It would make more sense if the idea of WWE/wCw was both executed better and not been a victim of Vince's ego. But we now have one company with two divisions (not counting 205 for this) instead of "two companies".

Repeatedly splitting, combining, splitting, combining, and splitting again takes away from that. Then you add in that someone like Cena can go wherever the fuck he pleases (which makes no sense if they're separate entities... it would be like an MLB player on two rosters simultaneously).

It also doesn't help that, like with most other things, the company can only focus on so many things at a time. As much intrigue and storytelling and the feeling of "what's gonna happen?" around Smackdown's champion, all roads on RAW was leading to the shoehorning of Reigns. They telegraphed that shit since he was put on RAW. This is par for the course. By the time they make some moves to potentially make the Universal Championship mean something, the World Championship will likely have suffered some grave detriment.
