Brand Split 2.0

Re: Brand Split 2.0

With live SD happening right before battleground, I could see BG being the deciding PPV for who gets control of which show. Shane vs Steph(Rollins represents Shane? HHH represents Steph), winner gets control of Raw. Loser gets control of SD. So then the Raw following Battleground would be the WWE draft, round 1. SD would be round 2. And starting the week after that, the brand split is on. I hope they make the draft fun though. Not the superstar randomizer screen they have for past drafts. Make it more like NBA/NHL/NFL draft, and the first WWE draft. And the panel with Renee,Graves,Booker could analyze the draft throughout the show, like people do for the major sports drafts.

I don't think having four titles and branded shows would work. You'd have a lot of one month payoffs.

If no branded PPVs, that idea could work abit better.

I think MITB could just be 3 from each show.

The draft should be a network special.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Paul is going to be head of creative with one of these brands, correct?

Both Paul's should be the head of both creatives.


Nakamura for first overall pick or I riot.

Who knows what will happen with draft picks. Anyone could go on any show. My "fantasy draft" predictions would be something like:

I agree completely with this. Either way, whichever brand Heyman gets control of i'll be watching.

You'd be wise to not get your hopes up over this development.

I don't think anyone is getting their hopes up. I was opposed to the brand split for two reasons.

1) Amount of injuries

2) Lack of writing and creativity.

All of the big players should be back in a month or so (maybe not Orton) and, although we may disagree on if some matches endings or bs or not, the actual storyline writing has gotten a great deal better.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

I'd prefer they not have an official brand split, but rarely have the same guy appear on Raw and Smackdown in the same week. I know it's a completely different tv concept than what they do now, but I'd prefer a Superstars/Wrestling Challenge type of setup where anyone could be on either show. Not saying bring back jobber matches for every match, just make it random who shows up on which show

Re: Brand Split 2.0

With NXT being a major touring brand you can't take everyone and move them to RAW or Smackdown.

The extra hour that Raw has can be solely for the ladies.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

If they're sticking with 3hrs, they definitely should go edgier for 10pm. TV ratings clearly show a real consistent trend for longest while. 8&9pm are around same numbers, but 10pm has the "bedtime dropoff". So make 8pm the family friendly part, 9pm pushes the envelope abit, then 10pm could be the edgier/more intense part of show

I hope it's not a competition storyline. I mean, how are you going to promote competition when one of your shows is two hours and one of your shows is three hours?

That was the thing I enjoyed least about the brand split last time. The battle royals with guys wearing red and blue shirts were always lame to me.
