Raw 2018 #Raw thread, April 16, 2018: The 2018 Superstar Shake-up begins

[Smart Marx]

Wasn't the tag titles in like 09 or something? Supershows were like 2011 or 2012 idr.

WWEs roster just looks way too stacked right not to go back to one roster, the filler from these solo show PPVs the last couple years didn't touch some of the shit from the first time they did it

They held both belts in 2009, but they weren't officially unified until 2010, same year as the Divas.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're going back to one roster today, but the end of brand PPV is always the first step to ending the split. Once you don't have confidence your brand can sustain a PPV it's over eventually. That's why my first post was just the beginning of the end. It most likely still has a few more years like this.

Maybe there slimming the PPVs to get more eyes on the other original content and library....or they're going to fox and will need to lend Raw stars for Smackdown which would be on FS1.

Could be true, but that would dilute the brand split even more if Raw superstars will appear on SDL.

TBH I'm really hoping WWE doesn't go to Fox. WWE left USA once and realized the grass wasn't greener.

getting 400 mil looks pretty green to me.

Won't be a brand split if they go to Fox imo.

Primetime on a network....that's the dream.

This is what I thought. WWE has been tryna cut costs lately and having 20+ PPVS has to be expensive

Wait do people think they’ll be going to Big Fox? The one that only has 2 hours of prime time programming a night? They’re not going to get 3 hours and go over that the usual 15 minutes or so.

Nah it’ll go to FS1 and be much like it is now I’d bet.

 

[Deezy]

moron they're gonna go back to 2 hours because the current 3 is a USA network order. Fox is done with original programming and doubling down on sports and news.....guess where WWE fits in?
