Are they setting up Smackdown vs Raw?

[Loose Cannon]

nah, they have no plans of ending the split and I wouldn't anyway. As much as I would like it to at times, they've invested a good amount of time in keeping the brands seperate , so why stop now? The Brand Split does bring up classic moments though like you mentioned with the Rumble and that's a major reason why I think they should keep it. I really love watching the Smackdown/Raw guys come together on those 4 PPV's and defending thier respective brands.

I agree with Loose Cannon.


I myself have stated many many MANY times that the roster split should end (mainly out of frustration), but in the end.......the roster split is probably the best thing for the company.


With that being said, there ARE a few things I would change:


1) One Undisputed World Champion appearing on both shows. It gives more meaning in being "World Champ". Double exposure of the World champ also allows the world champ to become even more over with the fans. This is especially helpful for a guy like Batista or Edge.

2) More 'interactive' PPV's. The WWE does a great job with the Royal Rumble in creating a competitive atmosphere between the two brands. I'd like to see this happen with some other PPV's.

-Bring back King of The Ring. Have a tourney on both RAW and SD. The winners face one another at the KOTR PPV.

-Have a classic Survivor Series match up. The top 5 stars from SD face off against the top 5 stars from RAW. Every year.
