Would the monthly PPV's work much better with a Brand Split? You could have 6 PPV's per year that feature both talent from Raw and Smackdown so my 6 PPV's would be Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Extreme Rules, Money in the Bank, Summerslam and Survivor Series.

The rest of the 6 PPV's would be split evenly 3 PPV's for Raw and Smackdown.

IMO it would help the creative team with decision making and the storytelling aspect which is really suffering lately with storylines retold almost all the time with minor tweaks.

A WWE draft would need to take place and that could take place on the WWE Network, it would be the reset that WWE needs to have different matches and different storylines.

I agree, it's time for a change now and I really want a brand split now.

I agree. I Miss the brand split. I would do 4 PPVs with both talent, Rumble, Mania, Summslam & Survivor Series. Then the brands would have 4 PPVs each too. They have the depth in the roster to do it now. Plus it may help Smackdown regain some credibility.

I feel like we have a brand split with WWE and NXT.

Everyone seems to really miss the draft?

I personally think they should do it unofficially and just make it clear that you will see more tag matches and lightweight style matches on Smackdown, while making Raw home to the stars and the story lines.

That way if you want to get some extra time in for a story you can drift it over to Smackdown.

As for the PPV's I hope the WWE have cottoned on to the power of their network, by having these between PPV's iPPV's exclusively on the network.

As long as they keep the big four special arena shows, they can drip feed three hour shows with nothing but matches to the fans whenever thy like.

I think its great that they can just say its MITB network show in 3 weeks, or we are having a King of the Ring next week.

A brand split now may just complicate things?

Smackdown is moving to the USA network the beginning of next year. If they made Smackdown live and gave it equal time with RAW, whether it be 2 or 3 hours. It would be the ideal situation to split the brands back up and have a legit competition between them.

I would like to see them drop it to 6 ppvs anyway. Fastlane, Payback, and Battleground are just pointless half-assed In Your House ppvs that will get continually renamed and only be remembered as "Worst PPV of. " They can just make the TLC and Hell in a Cell matches apart of Extreme Rules and Night of Champions can be a network or tv special.

I like the idea that Raw and Smackdown are just promo shows building toward Network exclusive feud shows.

A few big ones reserved for going out to the masses.
