Just now setting down to watch RAW and it looks like WWE screwed up again. They could have had a huge Babyface in Rollins but instead he will be used to continue and put Roman over.

Vince probably knew he would be and couldn't have someone more popular than Cena when he comes back!

there's no bad guys. Plus, they're likely angling for a Shield triple threat match anyway.

Rusev could also be a top level heel right now, but WWE decided it would be a good idea for him to lose to Cena on 3 straight PPVs, then be in a terrible love rhombus story, then join an faction whose only connection to each other was that they're not American.

Del Rio came back as a heel but was given the horrendous MexAmerica deal. Then joined the aforementioned LoN and lost his US title to a guy who is really just part of a tag team.

Bray Wyatt (I realize he is a part of the long list of injuries) could also have been a top of the card heel if he had actually ever won a feud.

I'm ok with Rollins as a heel for now cause he fills that role, but WWE dug their own hole of having no main event heels.

So Smackdown will start airing live on Tuesdays in July and feature a distinct roster. Not sure how to feel about this

If it means we get to see Nakamura and Finn Balor and Asuka and Bailey come up sooner and dominate then I'm all for it.

Brand split pros:

Makes SD more important.
Gives more guys chances to shine?

Brand Split Cons
Raw is still there hours? If so holy crap. How is it going to put on a three hour show with half the roster? They already struggle with the entire roster.

If, big if, titles are added, the IC and US titles will probably go back to being worthless. Although the US hasnt meant as much as late.

NXT may suffer greatly from this as they may have to hurry stars up to fill spots on both rosters.

So far I'm skeptical. We just have to see how it goes and how it's going to be done. Lots of questions.

Do they share or have separate ppvs?

More titles or not?

Will they make RAW out to be more important or will they actually treat the shows as equals? How can they be equals if RAW is an hour longer? At least SD will be live. But RAW must go back to two hours.

The reactions to the Brand Split in the IWC are equivalent to Cena's mixed reactions. Some people love and have been begging for this, while others are concerned/skeptical with it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Shane as SD GM and SD become a smarky type show with Styles/Owens/Zayn as the headliners.

The thing they can do to show they're treating both shows equally is keep people on whatever show they start on. If someone gets super over on Smackdown, leave him on Smackdown.

all depends on ratings imo.

I agree Raw should go back to two hours. I'd even do 8-10. but most people don't have to wake up as early as me. if Smackdiwn's ratings don't significantly increase though, no shame in swapping talent around to keep the RAW brand. not having the HW champ on RAW would be a killer
