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

NXT Call ups to fill out Raw & Smackdown

Samoa Joe
Finn Balor
Blake & Murphy
Bayley
Alexa Bliss

One of them is injured and I think they're officially broken up.

If they send R-Truth down to NXT, he's going to stay there and probably become a trainer. I don't think he's ready for that.

Rusev can finally fully shine

Wonder if Cody knew about this

If he did, he might have stayed.

Wow, y'all thought rematches and 50/50 booking was bad before? Raw hasn't been able to be booked with enough star power to keep people watching for years now, why would anyone think splitting the roster in half is going to be good for either show?

This isn't like 2002 when the already stacked WWF roster then absorbed the WCW roster. This is an era where they struggle to not have people wrestle 6 times in a month before their PPV match.

 

[CBoz]

Please no more titles, that was a clusterfukk the first time.

 

[Silkk]

So... What this mean for TNA? Do they have their own audience, or will they have to change days?

Forgot about that.

Probably going back to Thursdays

The brand split will be guaranteed corny by RR and especially if they do some corny bragging rights angle again.

Best part about this is live smackdowns..I get to hear great announcing on Tuesdays and hopefully one of the two writing teams has Paul E

Mauro is about to eat

Guys who will be elevated in this split

Sami Zyan (likely will become the new Daniel Bryan sympathy character for a brand, not just a IC title mirdcard guy)

Rusev (Main Event heel of a show w/ Lana....ala Macho Man and Sheri)

Baron Corbin (will be the IC or US champion of a brand)

Tyler Breeze & Fandango will be the new "MNM" for Smackdown or Raw

Personally, I would love to see Big Cass turn on Enzo and eat on his own. Enzo will never be a great ring guy so let Cass get some mega heat by turning on him down the road and propelling his heel run.

Enzo needs to manage a tag team like "American Alpha" be their Jimmy Hart and really get them over

Wonder if Cody knew about this

...................


This is like when Heat fans left early in game 6.....then tried to re-enter the arena when Lebron and them won in overtime

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

wait til we get full details before jumping overboard with negativity...lets focus on the fact that they're finally doing what fans wanted forever and that's smackdown being live

 

[Silkk]

Need to see what the booking teams look like before getting excited

 

[Djalminha]

So I assume Stephanie and Shane are going to run both? I'm sure we'll see the return of GM's.

With the right NXT call ups this could be great, the fact that SD will be live already means it will be better than the last brand split.

Bring Heyman back for Smackdown.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Bring Heyman back for Smackdown.

don't think he wants to be a part of creative again . as soon as smackdown started pulling better ratings than raw they started to sabotage him
