Rumor: WWE Reportedly Going Back To Dual-Branded PPVs

[Da King]

The brand split will never work because they are unwilling to truly run as two separate companies. If they did run like two different companies it can work.

It never worked because the roster is trash to begin with, the WWE actually did a good job separating the two but it just exposed how shallow the roster was

Problem is Vince, only see Raw as the be all and end all.

While SDL is the red hair stepchild. They only tolerate SD because it brings in extra TV revenue but are forced to have it because of the TV network needs content.

SD Live was gold when it first started.

They clearly killed it on their own

That's what I'm saying if they aren't legit competing with no boundaries the concept doesn't work in the first place.

not trying to see raw every ppv, it was cool only seeing them for only the big 4

if it leads to matches that would've never happened before or one match up we haven't seen for the fourth time in a row then i'm all for it.

Yeah it would be none of that shut if it's up to me. I also think the other reason it worked originally I'd because all of the established stars from wcw/ecw. That's never happening again brand extension should be thrown in the bushes.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Still think the original idea of champions being able to go on both shows was the way to go would of been a way to keep challengers fresh

Only a matter of time before the brand split ends again. First sign was Cena becoming a "free agent" and deciding he wants to be on Raw instead of Smackdown. At least with the second brand split with Smackdown they made it different initially with the Talking Smack but they got rid of it.

It's amazing how from 1999-early 2002 Smackdown was still treated as a top show. Austin, Triple H, The Rock, etc appeared on BOTH shows. shyt before this second brand split Smackdown was basically just a Raw highlight show with a few mid card and upper mid card wrestlers appearing on the show.

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

Does that mean they're gonna extend the 3 hour PPVs?

I called that damn shįt. They're too predictable.

It makes the most sense which means that WWE won't do it.
