New Rule To Be Implemented On RAW Tonight

Tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW will feature all of the fallout from the Money in the Bank PPV. It is already set to be a newsworthy show, as Becky Lynch will be making a ‘huge announcement’.

According to a report from John Pollock of POST Wrestling, WWE will be implementing a new rule on RAW tonight.

This rule will allow Superstars to appear on both RAW and Smackdown (but it will be a bit different than the ‘Wild Card Rule’). Here is what Pollock wrote:

WWE is set to introduce a ruling that will allow for some crossover between Raw and SmackDown, which comes at a time when numbers have significantly declined on both shows.

POST Wrestling was informed that the ruling will be introduced on tonight’s episode of Raw with the hope that it will be a simpler version of last year’s ill-fated Wild Card rule. Details of the specifics of the ruling were not made clear to us but it’s expected to keep talent crossovers to a minimum.

One source indicated that this idea came at the request of the networks. Last week, Raw hit its lowest mark in modern history with 1,686,000 viewers while Friday Night SmackDown has recorded its three lowest figures since launching on Fox over the past three weeks.
