Rumor Roundup: WWE’s Plan For The Future Of The Brand Split, New NXT Superstar Names, More

1) WWE’s Plan For The Future Of The Brand Split

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is not planning to make it a normal thing where Superstars appear on both RAW and Smackdown. This was a rumor after Roman Reigns appeared on this week’s episode of RAW.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

Regarding talk that the top stars may appear on both brands like Reigns to try and boost ratings after this week. “Not a long-term strategy. Not even a short-term one.” Of course all can change on a moment’s notice but as of this week this wasn’t something they were planning on regularly doing.

My Take:

  • I think this is the smart decision. Keep things separate so shows like Survivor Series and the Royal Rumble feel bigger.
