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

[SchoolboyC]

So...two world titles again?

 

[The Rainmaker]

Ah, now they both want Smackdown? But I thought Raw WAS the company

 

[dh86]

There's a reason they got rid of the brand split the first time... but I'll let them rock for the first few months.

They didn't do it right. If you do it right, you can get the max amount of dollars from two different audiences, and bring back the single brand shows now that ppvs are network specials. Make Smackdown the Paul Levesque show and make it an extension of what NXT is given its writer is on Smackdown already, and keep Raw what it is.

Yeah I'm all for this to a degree but the countless titles waters down the product. I'd let all title holders be allowed to move across the brands. That's a neater way of keeping the two shows fresher.

Have the world champ and woman's champ do both and Ic and us title on seperate shows

Problem with 2 world titles is you get guys like Triple H with 14 reigns, Orton has 12, Edge 11, Cena 15 etc etc

Then guys like Swagger and Khali become world champions


If they bring back a 2nd world title just so Reigns can break Punk's record

If RAW was 2 hours it could work but now we already know the rosters are going to be lopsided. Also why fire or agree to let people be released?

Finally AJ the Gawd can get some Ws. First New Era SD Champion, let's get it!!!

So...two world titles again?

Biggest problem they're going to have. The WCW/NWA World Championship was always b*stard little brother of the WWE Championship when they had one on each show.

PPVs should be cross-promotion, so it could be defended against both rosters with the mid-card titles being properly split.

Or put the WWE Title on Raw only and try to elevate the Tag Titles to that level of prestige on Smackdown.

 

[Paper Boi]

i enjoy something to freshen things up, but they'll still be a few injuries away from two weak ass rosters. hell they just had one a few months ago without a brand split. plus raw roster will need more depth than the smackdown one with 3 hours.

nakamura, joe, roode, balor and aries are all gonna be needed ASAP too. NXT gonna need to build some new guys quick. gonna need gable and jordan up on the main roster sooner than later too.

also with the cruiserweight tourney
maybe they bring back that division on smackdown and keep the women on raw. there still isnt enough depth in the women to have two seperate titles/rosters. they should go to whichever show stephanie runs, which i assume will be raw. the exciting cruiserweights fit shane's persona more.

If they're serious about the Women's Revolution, I can see them doing the Women's belt over the Tag Titles.

Since the OG plan for Smackdown was to be a Divas show.

 

[Dylmatic]

Can't wait for the draft.

 

[NSSVO]

Had to. These guys are falling apart left and right.

 

[Stez]

Also worth noting that this would be a great opportunity to switch up the announce booths. Imagine Ranallo & Graves calling Raw!

... I'm aware this won't ever happen. Just let a breh dream this
