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

[InstantKlassik]

Great news. This could be dope IF handled properly lol. Hopefully this means different state setups and ring ropes for each show. And finally we get Mauro calling PPVs. I'm also intrigued as to what this says for Lesnar when he returns

 

[Silkk]

They better not split stables and tag teams

Probably gonna put Big Ass on Raw, Send enzo to smackdown and change his theme

 

[Tanahashi Coates]

God Bless Ray Allen

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

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Kinda not feelin this. 3 hour RAW is gonna be even worse with half the roster. And honestly I don't have time for 5 hours of tv a week. I barely have enough time to watch raw

 

[El Poyo Loco]

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

Do you know what happened the last time Paul E was on the writing team for Smackdown it didn't end well for Paul E

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Bring Heyman back for Smackdown.

Please don't we know what happened last time and he was just following orders to be competitive

 

[MightyHealthy]

They still toured like it was a brand split, now their production can finally align with the groups of talent they've used separately

And the wrestling shows will now filter down...

RAW @ 3, SD @ 2, and NXT @ 1 hour on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

It's too bad they called up all those guys post mania. We could have had a nice draft episode of RAW w/ the call ups. We'll see on this though. I mean, are New Day going to be on both shows defending the tag belts? Roman gotta be on both. Will the title be split? shyt just sounds bad. Are they doing this to cut down on injuries?

 

[El Poyo Loco]

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

Vince is a fake competitor he wanted RAW and Smackdown to be rivals and Paul E obliged him and kicked his ass. After sabotaging him to clearly put out that RAW was the A show and Smackdown was basically developmental with a TV contract.

"The only reason why you're champion is cuz Triple H didn't wanna work Tuesdays"

Some of the best raw/smackdown shows of recent were when half the roster was away in another town.

Roadblock
Smackdown with AJ vs Del Rio

It probably won't do anything to injuries since the first time around, SD ran house shows on Mondays, and Raw ran house shows on Thurs/Friday. Guys were working the same amount.

They barely do enough to keep most fans interested for 3 hour Raws with a full roster how this going to work with half a roster now. Are matches going to be longer? Are there going to be longer talking promos?

Since both Steph and Shane are running both shows why would they want a draft? Who is picking for what show.

Dirt sheets said awhile back that they hoped having Brock on smackdown would help change its image.
Brock is going to the Smackdown brand

Keep that lazy bum off Smackdown unless he acts like the Brock of the early 2000s Smackdown years.

We get groundbreaking news of a brand split and live Smackdown and the first thing you think of is Roman Reigns?

Well the first thing was technically Triple H but okay
