DISCUSSION - Will the WWE (temporarily) re-unite the rosters before WRESTLEMANIA?

I've mentioned this in other threads, but I'll say it again. Basically - here is the scenerio.

-Goldberg and Lesnar are about to feud.
-Triple H and Benoit are about to feud.
-Kane and Taker are about to feud.
-Heyman and Bischoff seem to have a rivalry going.
-Some guys such as RVD, Booker T, and John Cena are arguably 'directionless' right now (unless you consider Cena's feud with the Big Show to be 'progressive').

-Another thing --> One can definitely argue that wrestlers 'switching rosters' too much can be counter productive. It can take away the 'intrigue' of such an event happening (and can also lead to fans' being confused).

So without further adieu, here is what I think should happen

-Between now and the next PPV (I think it's a SD PPV), tensions continue to increase between certain Raw characters (Goldberg, Triple H, Kane, Bischoff), and Smackdown characters (Lesnar, Benoit, Taker, and Heyman). Guys like Goldberg even start trying to appear on Smackdown to confront their nemesis.

-Basically; things get out of control. Since Vince anticipates that there might be trouble at the February PPV (Raw wrestlers invading the PPV), he makes a 'ban'...........however, no one follows it. In fact - it gets worse.

-The next night on Raw, Vince McMahon makes an annoucement.

He says: The roster split has been *temporarily* uplifted. Wrestlers can appear on whatever show they want....and can kick whoever's ass they want.

So - that's how it starts. Lesnar/Goldberg, Benoit/Triple H, Taker/Kane, and Heyman/Bischoff all go after one another........leading to matches at Wrestlemania.

Guys like RVD, Booker T, and John Cena also possibly find opponents (from the other brand) at Wrestlemania.

Advantages of this idea

-TV ratings (you have to believe that something like this will create huge interest).

-More potential match-ups.

-No one has to change rosters. The rosters can then go 'back to the way they were' after Wrestlemania.

-More "marquee" wrestlers on television.
