Randy Orton infiltrated RAW last week, hitting Brock Lesnar with an RKO before leaving the arena. Brock Lesnar got his revenge when he showed up on Smackdown LIVE and delivered an F5 to the Viper. We were told that the WWE Brand Split would mean separate shows but it looks like we are seeing some crossover already after today’s announcement by the WWE.
The WWE announced that Smackdown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan will be on RAW this week:

From the RAW preview:
“After Randy Orton’s Raw invasion to ambush Brock Lesnar prompted The Beast Incarnate to launch a shocking counterattack during SmackDown Live, Raw General Manager has invited SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan to visit Team Red this Monday night. What will The Hardcore Legend have to say to The “Yes!” Man now that the rivalry between The Viper and The Anomaly brought chaos to both brands?” (Source: WWE.com).

I have already seen a lot of fans complaining about the brands crossing over already (which is fair). I am hoping we get an interesting story here though.. Maybe even a trade? I really hope we don’t see much more cross promotion between brands though. Let them shine as their own separate entities. It makes sense in this context for Lesnar/Orton but other than that I am against it!
