SmackDown finally going LIVE starting July 19!!! Brand split returning.

[Red Omega]

How would the champ on both shows work if the person he's currently fueding with is not on both shows?

He would just show up to have a random match? Sounds weird. I like the idea of 2 big champs, gives the opportunity to make another top guy.

Nonetheless I'm pumped about this, was very much needed but the track record tells you they'll mess it up, I'm some what optimistic though.

Is tna keeping thier Tuesday night slot?

NXT bout to get gutted

Joe, Nakamura balor Aries and Bayley will all be up by August

 

[JerseyBoy23]

It's funny to see people across the internet think this will lead to less injuries. If anything they'll run the same schedule and probably add Monday house show for Smackdown.

AJ as the smackdown champ

Cena and reigns controlling their respective brands

This shyt has potential to be piff if handled correctly. So far booking after wrestlemania has been good so maybe that'll continue

Excited to see what happens

 

[Osmosis]

I think we should all reserve judgement, this has disaster potential

I just hope AJ eats well off this

 

[Silkk]

They need to schedule a War of the Worlds type week if they want to cash in on the numerous available matchups

Those SD PPVs were ill


Plus seeing wrestlers from different brands cross paths during those joint PPVs was

Vince should've announced this at Payback

Silver lining is there are two more months to get as many matchups between new guys on the roster and the ones returning from injury

maybe it wasn't ready to be announced

Said in less active thread that

The world title, women's and tag should all stay unified and one. They are the top dogs of their respective lanes and will have the workload and bigger responsibility so they will have to work and have the privilege of going cross brand. Also, keeps the prestige intact.

See no problem with them splitting the US title and IC title though.

Won't work. What would the champ do ? Have 2 separate feuds for each brand and 2 matches on ppv

 

[Metal Face]

IM SO fukkING HAPPY RIGHT NOW. I've wanted both of these things forever.

 

[Metal Face]

They have enough talent for 2 titles for each division...2 world titles, 2 mid card titles, 2 tag titles and 2 women's titles. Seems like an overload but if they want to treat both shows as important and equal it needs to be done...
Bray as the face of Smackdown and WHC
Guys like Cesaro, Ambrose, Owens and so on being made into legit main eventers on their respective show and NOT being stuck in mid card hell its lit.

 

[Vice Queen]

Is the writing going to be better?


I could give two fukks about a brand split if they're gong to continue giving us the same shyt they've been giving us for the last several years.

WWE, stop dressing up shyt trying to make it palatable and clean up the shyt.

It's possible, in the official statement they stated each show will have it's own "dedicated writing team", Ryan Ward is now the head writer of SmackDown and he's the guy who was writing for NXT...that dude with his own roster could be some good shyt. Also if Triple H is involved more creatively with SD! then that would be dope.

 

[HoldThisL]

Im excited for this, the best wrestling entertainment is when the brands were split and were both unique

That draft
John Cena back on smackdown

Dam I used to watch Smackdown more than Raw thinking about it.

[Kang Deezy]

I'm really happy about this too

It makes too much sense not to do

I do think this is bad news for NXT tho
