I think a hard brand split could work if they took 4-5 guys and concentrated on them in the main event for each brand.
Smackdown = Orton, Bryan, Ambrose, Del Rio, Barrett and Ziggler
Raw = Cena, Reigns, Wyatt, Rhodes, Sheamus, and Punk (if he returns)
I would rather see this than the damn mess we have right now. Too many guys for one roster and people are bound to get lost in the shuffle. They have way too many guys on the roster now than they did before the brand split and it is even worse with the U.S. and IC titles having no significance. The US title was last defended in October 2013. Jesus, remember the 30 day defend rule of the 80's and 90's, guess that went bye bye. LOL!
I'd leave one set of tag team champions and women's champion traveling to both brands to defend the titles. I would consider even unifying the US and IC titles since they aren't getting any love from the booking team.
The buyrates on the branded PPV's sucked because WWE didn't put the time or effort in them even going so far as stacking RAW all the time with the talent.
All of a sudden they are breaking up tag teams/stables left and right with The Shield (which was inevitable), how long before the Wyatts are next, then the Prime Time Players, and then we had some Rhodes/Goldust dissension a month or so ago.
These are just some thoughts I was having, granted might not be good ideas, but they need to do something to fix the current product with so much talent on the roster.
